I think as long as it is a REAL fossil and not stolen, he shouldn't care.
It is not your fault that he "overspent" on a Kors bag. He could have ordered it online and paid half price also. But he was lazy and didn't put in the work.
I got my bf a race track day for his bday about 2 months after we met and I got it on groupon.com. Once I told him that it was 50% off, he said that I am smart for doing that.
I agree with eve. You got him what he wanted and saved money. I would think that your husband should be appreciative of the fact that you are a "smart" shopper. I wouldn't care less what somebody buys me as long as they buy me something. Having said that, I don't exactly want a five dollar gift card to Dunkin Donuts either. So maybe I care a bit.
Side note. That's kind of an expensive gift to ask for. It's just a watch. Who needs a four hundred dollar watch?
He told you what he wanted and you got it. Ask him if he would like cash to make up the difference.

Did he ASK how much you paid? If not, then why did you even tell him the price?
You know him better than any of us, if he's "into" expensive, high end gifts, which makes me think that you would have known he'd compare dollar for dollar on what you two spent on each other. In that case, I'd have told him "none of your business darling" with a smile and a wink!
Maybe your husband should focus on the fact that if you or he have a loved one who's very sick, material things mean NOTHING.
I think I was in 6th grade the last time I was disappointed from a gift I received. I remember it was a wall mirror my parents bought me for my birthday. When I was in high school I come to really appreciate that gift.
He should just be happy for any gift he receives. It shouldn't be about the cost. JMO.
Taking this thread at face value, your husband sounds like a whiny kid. Second, you guys need to not spend hundreds of dollars on things that don't mean crap at the end of the day, status symbols are repugnant to me.
That money is best spent elsewhere, but that is off topic and just my 2 cents.

First of all, why are you even disclosing the prices of your presents? That seems the ruin the point of gift giving.
