Sometimes the surprise is needed regardless of what could have been in the future. Buyers Remorse is/can happen on a lot of things. Did your wife like the kettle when you got it, did it make her feel special, is it still used today, will it maybe become a family heirloom?
80 years in the future:
Smallsteps: "I remember when my father, your great great grandfather gave this kettle to my mom. The look on her face, the huge smile the big big gigantimous hug she gave him. Then how she would prepare his favorite tea on those special occasions, one time he came home from a very hard day at work, somehow mom knew he was having a hard day, she was special in that way, she had a prepared special tea for him"
It is the stories and memories that make the real antiques and no one can really say what will become an antique. Perhaps a simple surprise gift will have more value than 200 dollars worth of BTC. It may have been - -
That is one bloody expensive kettle!
But it does have the potential to be one amazing family memory.
Yes of course - she drinks more tea than half of England combined :D Not sure if any appliance these days becomes an heirloom. However, that does remind me of a kettle that my grandad used that must have been from the early 1950s. @galenkp might remember the one.
Just thinking - there might be a context difference for kettle. For us, it is what you boil the water in - whereas where the tea steeps is called a teapot. Is that the same?

I don't think there is a context thing. I was thinking back to a copper kettle my mom had to boil the water in, the whistle would mean the water is just right and then add to the tea cup and steep or if she had friends over into the fancy teapot to steep. Her kettle had a round stamped out farm scene on both sides and scroll work around the lid.
