 You really sound worried about the small stuff. Get over it and stop being so resentful. If there's something you really want, drop the hint and see what you get.

I have a friend who's birthday is right after xmas and she hates it too if the present is quite small. See what he gets you. However it does sound like a petty thing to dump someone over. How good has he been to you so far? Likelihood is that if he gets you a really shit present then he's not that satisfactory a boyfriend overall so in that case I would dump him. If he's generally a really really good boyfriend then he'll probably get you something really nice, or maybe an extra surprise present that he hasn't told you about. Wait and see what happens come xmas =]

Seriously, if this is the only problem you have then you got it pretty good.

 Here's my outlook on twofers.. I really see no problem in them at all for the most part, but it depends on the twofer gift in question.
A twofer gift can be advantageous for you if said twofer gift is the price and value of 2 gifts put together. You can get a more expensive and useful gift this way.
Now it'll be bad if said twofer gift was only worth say 1 gift that he would have given you on your birthday to begin with.. or Christmas by itself.
But another thing to keep in mind is that you shouldn't expect too much from him.. It's not his fault your birthday falls around Christmas.. He has other gifts to give out as well.. If he treats you well otherwise, take that as your gift. BTW my birthday is Dec 12.. It sucks to be a december baby in terms of gifts. Not to mention that you get to spend your birthday money, buying other people gifts.. *sigh*
But as far as gifts go, it's not the cost or price of the gift, it is the thought.. so perhaps you should just settle for two less expensive thought out gifts than 2 expensive gifts.
