In my opinion the answer to this question is really a bigger question about how you approach collecting and the cost with your spouse.
I set aside an amount per paycheck for me and my wife as allowance for whatever we want to buy. Depending on bills and such, this can change throughout the year but may be anywhere from $20-50 every two weeks. I know this is a blessing and not everyone can afford that luxury.
Anyway, the point here is that we each get spending money to use for a hobby, entertainment, or whatever no questions asked. And then when a bonus, taxes, or whatever comes in we look at our needs, bills, and what not to decide if a portion of it can be split between us for hobbies or entertainment. So whatever I buy with that money, is mine to decide. But if I don't have the money saved up, then I don't get it. That's my fault. Not like we don't know what's coming out for the next few quarters.
Or sell something to make up the difference. It really boils down to "does she have a problem with the money being spent" or "does she have a problem with you collecting toys". They are two very different conversations.
