When you already know what you're getting....

So... yesterday the husband kinda told me what he's getting me, though not really.  He's just really proud of himself because usually each year he wants me to tell him exactly what he should get me for Christmas.  That's not much fun.  So this year he thought of something on his own and he's quite proud.  Only he says he has to order it online because no stores in the area currently have it.  I was disappointed.  He's seriously running out of time to be ordering me something.  Then he says that he probably has to order it from Gamestop or Best Buy.  I realize that this is a gaming website, and what I'm about to say is blasphemous... but I was disappointed!  I don't really want game-related or electronics stuff for Christmas.  I mean sure it's possible that whatever it is will be something really cool... but right now I'm kinda like... great, I'm gonna have to fake enthusiasm when I open it. 
 
Then on top of that, today he goes Christmas shopping with my best friend.  So he knows I had planned on getting my best friend some stuff from Bath & Body Works.  I find out while checking our bank account online that he was there today.  UGH.  And he says she said she shopped there yesterday.  So now I can't get her B&BW stuff because she probably got me some, and that's just not cool.  PLUS apparently the hubby bought stuff while he was there, which is most likely for me... great.  I already have a ton of stuff from there.  I could use a new candle and that's about it.  I still have plenty of everything else.
 
UGH.  I hate to sound ungrateful.  I think a lot of it is that each year I put so much effort into coming up with the right gifts for everyone, and honestly very rarely do I get much for the holidays.  Sometimes I just want people to really think like I do, think "what does this person really want or need?"  Why is that so hard?   
 
I do wish I had no clue at  all what he was getting me or where he was shopping.  That probably would have helped.
