The first step is to stop boo-hooing and realize that your birthday is just another day.

If you want something special to happen on that day you need to clearly communicate what your desires are. I could interpret what you told her as "He doesn't actually want anything".

And we can't know why she isn't talking to you without more information.

Telling someone that you don't need anything. And then telling them "I would rather" leave your communication up to misinterpretation. You never actually said I want you to do x.
