AITA for buying my own gifts?

My(26f) boyfriend (30m) got really upset with me and Iā€™m genuinely confused. About two weeks before Christmas I asked him if he wanted to change gifts and he told me no. Well fast forward to Christmas Day and I post a picture of my bathroom door decorations and the things I got myself. For context I do this every year to remind myself itā€™s okay to buy new clothes every once in a while (Iā€™m typically very frugal).

On to the issue, when we met up for dinner he was extremely distant and short with me. I asked him what was on his mind and he told me ā€œit was the fact he didnā€™t do those things for meā€. I was still confused and asked him to clarify and he told me ā€œTreating yourself and having fun with me on Christmas is just weird to me. I mean I understand that I work and you want a you day but stillā€. I really donā€™t see anything wrong, but then again I only really see things at face value most times. Please help me understand. Am I the asshole here, is there even an asshole?

TLDR; my bf said we arenā€™t exchanging gifts so I bough myself some clothes and wine.
