A few of my mates used to do this
We'd all club together to get something big, like an iPod or motorbike lessons. I chucked in 10-20 quid each time, then when it came to my birthday I got NOTHING. Cunts.

When me and all my mates turned 18, there was about 15 of us all turning that age in the same year, so we all clubbed together and spent £20 each to get something super-cool.

biggest gesture I have been involved in
was when a mate at university turned 21 and we got him a silver cigarette case and put 21 perfectly rolled joints in it.

most of my good mates have known each other for getting on for 20 years
we have never bought each other a birthday card, let alone a present.

Why on earth would we start now? Either it would set an unfortunate precedent, or some people would get left out, as you did.

This group of friends have been buying each other presents for years
Most years one of them would forget mine, but last year they all did. One of them a month later even commented on how shit it was that everyone forgot, and said he'd get me a late present. Never materialised.
