Am I too picky?

My husband asks me to make an Amazon list for my birthday and Christmas because he feels like I’m too picky and I always criticize the gifts he gets me. My perspective on it is that the gifts he gets on his own don’t take into account what I want, but what he wants to give me. And what he wants to give me are not gifts I necessarily like. I’m willing to say that I’m just too critical but is there a compromise? To me getting a thoughtful gift is important. How do we meet in the middle between me picking out my own gifts and him giving me a gift I don’t like?
