What's wrong with buying things for my girlfriend?

Just had a little thing (not arguements just a disagreement) with my girlfriend earlier today. I got paid today and I thought its been a while since I treated my girlfriend and I wanted to buy her a few things that she wanted. We went to Selfridges and she pretty much walked through the woman's sections, we went to Zara she walked past the ladies section that was kinda annoying me in a way since I told her to find something, anything! She kept saying they don't have what I want. So then we went to Clas Ohlson an she needs a sound system at her place so I found something and we pretty much had a little "thing" with her trying to get the system off me she said she gonna get it for Xmas, it's too big to carry, an she doesn't want it. And then I said "so what do you want cause all the shops we've been it's like you don't want me to get you something you want!" Then she goes okay don't buy it ill get clothes, (at this time I wasn't interested cause I've bought her a million things and she has never, NEVER been like this). So I just followed her wherever she wanted to go find clothes. Looking at what she was picking she was picking clothes so I am happy.

I want you to be honest with me people lol: right or wrong.

If she doesn't want me to buy her things, which I've always done for the past 2 years and 3 months of our relationship, who should I expect to buy her these things? I am happy buying her things not because I have to but because I choose to and It brings me joy to see my girlfriend happy. In the end I bought her a few things cause it was getting awkward whether she really wanted them or not I don't know.

So what is wrong with me buying her things?

What's wrong with this scenario here? Please help!

Update:

Can I add that every time (for just over 2 years now) I say pick what you want she picks things that she wants and I pay. this time I told her to choose what she wanted but she walked through the ladies section without looking. That's when I took her to the shop where they sale sound systems (she told me she needed one, even asked to borrow mine but I don't borrow my system to anyone lol) and I picked one and we pretty much had a fight for the box till I just said okay whatever. That's when she decided to go into shops to find things, which I think was a way to make me feel better.

Update 2:

and she does buy me things the same way as I do for her.

    she most likely just felt bad that you were going to spend so much on her. she loves you buying her things but if its a lot of mony or if she feels like your just wasting it on her when she knows you have things you need to pay for then its understandable that she wouldnt want you to get her any thing. try surprising her with girts instead. she will love the gift and not feel bad because she wont know how much it cost, and she cant refuse to take it

    Absolutely nothing is wrong with it, maybe she just feels a little weird. When she has money do you allow her to buy you things if not then that could be the cause. Woman are very odd people but if you explain to her why you want to and like to buy her things she might get your point of view a little bit better.

    Let her be independent if she feels the ought to be. There are other methods that you would be able to support that would give her additional cash for her expenses. Purchase some groceries for the condominium, or matters that you see she wishes, but hasn't gotten. Just shock her with them. Inform her that you simply just occurred to be in the store and realized that she could could use them. Inform her that in view that she does a lot for you, you desired to show your appreciation.

    Maybe she wants you to pick something out for her. Girls don't like picking something out if their bf is buying it for them.syne she wants to see what you'd pick out for her. Buy something without her knowledge and give it to her instead. She'll appreciate it more because you picked it out instead of her picking her own gift.
