You should have never made a promise to buy it if you didn't intend on doing it. I think you are as much to blame for this as her. You shoudlnt have done that.
Ordering it and returning it would be a prick move, don't do that! Tell her that you really wanted to buy it for her because you care about her but it is just too much for you to afford now. If she presses you on it bad and you still care about her tell her maybe for Christmas. You can say that youll save up money to buy it then, give you many months of saving. That will give you till the end of the year and if you are still with her or even closer then maybe buying it for her wont seem so hard to do.
This is probably the most solid advice for the OP's situation.
