B Mak Question - Dakota Drawstring - Keep or Give Away?

I found this one @ Dillard's at the 30% off sale before Christmas, so it was 30% off + an additional 30% off. I've never purchased this brand before and bought it with full intention of giving it to my daughter who turns 17 today. Now, I'm tempted to keep it for me or save it for her for another time/occasion . . . like maybe Recital Week in June or ???

It was 278.00 so I picked it up for like 130 and some change. She had a purse VERY SIMILAR to this, it was her first purse purchase out on her own shopping with a friend and her Mom at Claire's so quality was lacking severely but she wore that thing out and this is almost just like it except nice glove leather, leopard lining and the tassels on the zipper and drawsting. Normally, I'm at the point of not buying UNLESS she is with me and approves but since she had one so similar . . . so should I keep it for ME or give it to HER? {#emotions_dlg.devil2}

I bought it in black but the features show up better IF you click on Brandy or Stone.

I bought her a few months ago, her favorite style of Vera Bradley in the "bucket tote" w/magnetic closure, perfect size, and she prefers the magnetic closure in Symphony in Hue which is a very pretty, quite colorful and vivid pattern. She carries this to school everyday.

and since the style was retiring and her favorite I also bought her another from eBay in Blue Rhapsody as she wears lots of blues & greens wrapped up for her b-day.

What should I do?
