Joint gifts do not mean that you are portraying a happy family. It means that you are both contributing to a gift that your son wants.

What were you planning on giving your son for a gift? Does your h's request make sense or is it unreasonable?

If it's what YOU want to do then do it. If it isn't what YOU want then nicely let your h know that you have already purchased gifts for s, but thanks for asking.

Keep it simple!
