Different married couples operate under different rules but it is very common for discretionary spending to be a joint decision. Or strictly the purview of the "home economist/manager".
I had a friend that held off upgrading the family PC for a full year because he knew it would come with a mandatory accessory piano.
Logic won't serve in these cases.
The technique I've noticed works best is to identify a pricier purchase she would enjoy and tie the two: "One for you and one for me."
