Many years ago, when DH was going to be away at sea for his birthday, I secretly had some very tasteful photos taken of me in very tasteful lingerie. I packed them up, along with other gifts and a cake, when he sailed several weeks before his birthday. How was I supposed to know the rest of the officers would put on a special birthday breakfast for him and those parcels would be opened in full view of everyone! (Did I mention they were very tasteful, though a little bit saucy.) I wish I still looked like that.
