To feel disappointed about gift on valentine's day

DH bought me a valentine's present, we only ever do something small, a card and an edible usually. This year he bought me something to use in the bathroom, despite knowing I have eczema and only ever using a certain shower gel. In his defence he did say I'm always letting the kids have it when it's gifted to me by other people so he thought I'd appreciate being able to have it for myself. I'm not annoyed about the gift, I just feel a bit disappointed that he doesn't seem to know enough about me to think about what I'd actually like and chose something unsuitable. Aibu to feel that way, or should I just appreciate the effort made?

He genuinely may not have realised the product will affect your eczema.
Did you tell him that (and that's why you always give any to the kids)?

Well my DH realised it was Valentine Day and did not get me anything if that makes you feel any better.
