Should i buy my husband a PS5?
My husband’s birthday is coming up and I’m conflicted about what to get him.
I know he really wants a PS5, and I can technically afford it, but it’s still a big purchase for me. It’s not something I’d buy casually it would definitely feel like a financial purchase i need to think about.
Where i live the PS5 and two controllers are around $1000
The thing is, when it comes to gifts, he’s always been thoughtful but more moderate with spending. For my birthday and Valentine’s Day, he spent around $200–$250 total, which I was completely happy with. He’s never gone anywhere near the price of a PS5.
So now I’m unsure on one hand, I’d love to make him happy and get him something I know he really wants. On the other hand, it feels like a big jump in spending compared to what he usually do for me, and I don’t know if that’s a good idea financially or in terms of expectations.
Please give me your advice i need it
Edit: I think what’s making me hesitate is the expectations side of things.
He does want the PS5, and it’s around $1,000. But for my birthday and Valentine’s Day, I also had things I wanted in that kind of price range like a certain gold jewelry or a specific bag i told him about many times,and he didn’t go anywhere near that. He kept things simpler, which I still appreciated.
So now I’m a bit stuck. I do want to get him something he’ll really love, but at the same time, he’s never really spent in that price range on me, so I’m not sure if it makes sense for me to go that far either.
