WIBU to buy a woven wrap with DS's birthday money/my xmas money?

[Allstoppedup]

I've just been floating the idea around, DS is one just before Xmas, my family don't live close to me and are sending money for me to buy him something he needs. He has LOTS of toys and I do put cash savings aside for him in general.

I don't drive and tend to use a sling/woven wrap to go anywhere, I rarely use our pram now as DS prefers the carry and I find it lots easier on public transport, I'm currently using a woven wrap my friend has lent to me.

I'd love one for Christmas and DP has offered to buy me one. I have seen one that is a bit more expensive than I would go for for just myself but wondered if it would be really brass necked to use the money sent for DS to cover the additional cost. Wraps hold their value and so I could always sell it when DS is older and put any money from this back into his savings. In the mean time it is something we both use daily.

I'm just not sure if it is really cheeky/unfair on DS. I thought I would get the general consensus before putting the idea out to my family in case it's something that would be a massive faux pas!

I do still feel a little guilty and I think that's what my orginal feeling about it was whatever. It isn't essential I guess as I do have extended use of a borrowed wrap but obviously it would be nicer to have one of our own given that we use it every day.

So if i we're to consider it an essential item spending a bit more to get one that is really lovely makes it more of a present if that makes sense, if DP was to get me a present I would always rather it was an essential and useful item rather than a 'waste' of our limited cash/something that wouldn't last.

As I've managed to guilt trip myself about it though, I've decided to get the wrap (which will hopefully be great for DS and any subsequent DCs) using my Xmas present and a bit of the cash sent for DS but then pay back the difference. So using it almost as an interest free loan! That way, I get the wrap, DS gets the wrap and DS also gets all cash owed to him going into his account for the future. I feel that gives a fair compromise.
