Oh, boy! My grandpa did that for my grandma over fifteen years ago and he bought the top of the line vacuum and he spent $1500 on it. When it was delivered and he gave it to her, I have never seen a bigger argument in my life and off the new vacuum went to the garage and there it stayed.
I understand where you are coming from though and it is a nice gesture.
That is almost as bad as buying your wife a treadmill for Christmas...(I know someone who did this...)
