[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, my DH and I joke about those Lexus commercials around Christmas time when the spouse surprises the other with a car as a gift.  I always say that I would be really peeved if DH went out and bought a car without consulting me.  We have a joint account and any large purchases are mutual decisions.

I think it would be different if OP and her DH had separate accounts.  She might still not want him spending so much on a gift for her but it is less of an issue than when part of the cost of the gift is being funded with your own money!

My DH actually did that. After I got over the guilt (he did ask what kind of car I wanted) I really love the car. But he DID ask first.[/quote]

I'm a PP who agreed with OP.  The fact that he asked makes a HUGE difference - he was spoiling you with something you wanted.

If the OP's DH had surprised her with that trip they had been saving for I would have a different reaction, but he spent *their* money on something *she* doesn't value. [/quote]
