Not really sure if its an AIBU but not sure where else to post.
DH and I normally just do little gifts at Christmas and focus on the children but this year as I turn 30 the day after boxing day he decided to get me a big surprise as a joint gift, he's been telling me how much i'll like this and i'll never guess what it is. Anyway Xmas eve comes and he cant contain his excitement so runs in with a big box shouting surprise!! he got one thing right, I was definitely surprised when I opened the box to find a laptop. Don't get me wrong its a very nice red one but its still a laptop just a newer one than I already have that still works perfectly well. I feel awful as my face must have said it all and although I smiled and said how lovely it was I couldn't hide my dismay. I feel really ungrateful but its not so much the gift itself its the realisation that he really doesn't know me at all. a bunch of flowers or a card made by our kids would have been plenty and really greatly received. I'm not sure if I'm just over sensitive as I near my 30s or if he really believes that a laptop is something classed as a memorable milestone gift??
