1) Consider it company hardware such that if one of you leaves they must give up the hardware. 2) Each of you has to sign off on the other's purchase, that way neither of you can spend too extravagantly. You should trust each other enough not to work to game the system, and this should put a good enough check in place to prevent it (again assuming some amount of trust).

Great points, we do approve each others purchases now and do not have a problem with trust. I should clarify my question is to identify how to handle "nice to have" purchases which each of us agree are not essential but would improve our "personal experiences". Ultimately, we would purchase these items on a "personal" level, but we would like to be able to expense these items as they are helpful tools for our company and to stay up-to-date with latest technologies and trends... One such instance of this was the "purchase" of personal iPhones/iTouches which were not "essential" for developing our experimental iPhone App, but they did help the process along...
