Woman Disregards GF's Gift Request, Buys Her a Kitchen Appliance Instead

This woman decided that her girlfriend's request for jewelry was too obvious of a gift. She would get her something surprising instead by getting her something that she had mentioned previously but not explicitly requested. 

This thread was posted to r/AITA by the wife, u/penguinblinders, who purchased the gift. She is wondering if she is an a-hole for her actions, her friends and girlfriend seem to think that she is. 

Commenters think that what she has done is abhorrent because it comes across that she has intentionally purchased her partner a "chore" as a gift rather than what she wanted. I'm actually of the mind that she had tried to do the right thing by purchasing her partner a "surprise" gift instead of the obvious. It doesn't seem like she has intentionally done what commenters are saying, and it looks more like a misguided mistake than anything else. I think she is still in the wrong, but I don't believe it was as sinister as commenters seem to think it is.
