Does anyone else have this problem?

My wife tells me last week she really does not want anything for Christmas. She would rather me donate to a family in need than waste money on buying her anything for Christmas.
This morning, she sends me a text with a link to a company in California that sells handbags, shoes, wallets, and sunglasses with the text "Some of these would look good under our Christmas tree."
Mind you, these handbags start at 2,500$

Buy one of the $2500 purses and give it to a needy family.
Take a pic of them with the purse and put it under the tree.

$2,500 handbag? Nah man, I definitely don't have that problem.

She may WANT a $2,500 handbag, but would never voice it. In reality though, she's more frugal than I am, and doesn't have expensive tastes.

I'm still working on how all her purchases come with a detailed logical explanation. All mine are just a stupid waste of money.

My wife will tell me she wants us to keep it small (the gifts, not my wiener) for Christmas, anniversary, whatever. So I'll do it and then she'll go overboard. And she really doesn't get mad or ever hold it over my head but I feel like a jack ###.

I will say this... I have never bought her a handbag over $500. Usually I get her a Coach, Dooney or something like that that usually run $300-$400 for her birthday or special occasions.

Back in the day, my problem was (ONCE didn't fall for it again)"...Can I get this and call it an early Christmas present?"
Then when Christmas arrived, reminding her of the "early Christmas present" that she got a month earlier.

You've bought her 350 handbags in the past
She likes a particular website that sells handbags
You need a $350 gift certificate to said website

Those are the handbags my wife uses.
We agree to not get anything for each other every year. I end up getting her something from the kids. She gets me nothing, from her or the kids, rinse repeat. It happened for birthday, anniversary, and Father's Day this year too. That was a weird stretch.

I don't know, I believe she thinks a more expensive purse is warranted this time around because I won $1200 at the Hard Rock a few days ago and she sees it as free money. What she doesn't understand is I have lost 10,000 previously over the past two years at said Casino so I am still $8800 to the negative.

and what we are spending on that party is absolutely insane. It would make you vomit as I am about to thinking about it.
So I am thinking that we will be skipping the Christmas gifts to each other this year.

Unless it's more than $500, then there will be a lengthy discussion about how we shouldn't spend that kind of money
