Often your wife will disapprove of your Dadget purchase, no matter how amazing and relevant to your child, merely on the grounds of cost.  If you ever sense that this will be the case, then be sure to present your request in foreign currency.  Allow me to demonstrate:

“Darling, I really think our special little Henry would love this gold plated money clip for his pocket money.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, that must cost a fortune.”

“It’s only 20 Dinah.  The plastic one you wanted to buy him costs over 40,000 Rupiah.  It’s like the toy companies can charge whatever price they want.  Now that’s ridiculous.”

“Only 20 Dinah, eh?  Go on then.  And treat yourself to another torch – you deserve it.”

“You are my special princess.”
