to not want to buy my own present

I would just like one thing done for me that I haven't had to arrange myself.

I am in charge of Christmas. I decorate, shop for all presents, cards, food and decorations. We are on a very tight budget so have been shopping for ages to get the best deals on toys etc and as I am nearly finished now apart from family to sort I wanted to be able to concentrate on finish painting and decorating and getting food for Christmas dinner then dh says to me last night "have you sorted your present from me yet?"

He has one present to but, mine and he wants me to source it and buy it myself. He is on the feckin laptop every night and still can't manage to press a god damn button to buy me a gift.

I told him I refuse to arrange my own gift and if he wants to look like a twat on Christmas morning (we have friends staying) he can. Cue offended dh now not talking to me and has stropped off to play golf for the day without a word.

Aibu?

I buy my own gifts from my parents because they hate choosing presents, but I never choose them from DH as he is capable of putting some thought into what I like. In fact the only thing I would prefer to choose myself is a book, as I'm fussy! :)
