Nah just show her photos of lincpimps hobby room from the "show me your R/C shop", and blame it on him.

Besides Xmas is not that far off. You can either get it for Christmas or request and early Xmas gift for emotional purposes.

Check her closet and see what new shoes or purses she has gotten and you will have reasons to get something R/C to make up for that.
