Alright, so my girlfriend and I decided on a $150 limit on gifts this year.
She's wanted a Kitchenaid stand mixer the entire time we've been together (3 years).
I happened to be looking through a Canadian Tire flyer, and found a Kitchenaid professional stand mixer for $287 ($330 after taxes), which retails for $350-450 depending on where you're looking. I of course went out and grabbed one because the sale ended on the 6th.
I'm second guessing my purchase now though, not because I don't think she'll like it (she'll love it), but because I know she's a little hard up for cash and might be pissed that I blew so far past the agreed upon budget, when she definitely can't spend any more.
I'm not super worried about the money...I don't mind spending money on her, but do I return it, or hope that she's cool that I spent double what we agreed upon?
