    Default How to ask?

    My reg is buying me a nice gift but I want a nicer one. It's pretty much a staple for any person. I'm totally willing to pay the difference. I just don't want to get an X for 500 that will last me one year when I can get an X for 800 that will last me 4 years. I don't want him to pay more. Is there a way I can politely ask without seeming ungracious?

    Tell him that you really like the 800, at the end of the day, he wants to please you, so you need to tell him how. Dont worry about the rest. He is earning your company remember.

    Say it like you told us. I'm sure he'd understand. "Oh I loooove that you're getting that (um, fridge) for me, but I want a certain one. Do you mind if I make up the difference?! I just think this fridge would last longer."

    Wait, why the hell wouldn't you want him to pay more?? He will want to please you... You could say, "If you really don't want to go above the 500, I can figure out a way to come up with the remainder, i just think the 800 version is better AND will last me longer!"

    Love it!

    Exactly what I was thinking. Who doesn't want to buy something that is going to last them as long as possible. I'm pretty sure he'd much rather spend $800 and know you'll always have it, than $500 and it last a couple years.
