Husband disappointed with present

AIBU I lost my job in September and have been working temporary since. I've had 4 days all of December. We had to open presents tonight and my husband didn't like his. He told me he wanted nothing so I filled a stocking with toiletries and novelty gifts then made a token book with flights to London, cinema date, dinner date and jokey things. He seemed very disappointed that it wasn't an actual present. I asked what else he wanted and was told nothing as if he wants something he just buys it himself. AIBU thinking this was a good idea?

I’m going to be honest and say that I wouldn’t like the token book at all. Anyone can promise nice things in a book, but will you actually follow through? Flights to London don’t seem particularly realistic given you are currently temping.
