To spot when you were coming to knock her block off obviously.

Some of you lot are no help whatsoever !!
No idea why his lover would want a telescope !
Still laughing.

Re-wrap in the packaging and don't say anything at all. Chances are he won't notice anyway; he'll be too busy looking for the Christmas wrapping paper. sellotape etc. Hope it's something you like!

Shysal shock!

Not sure what "Answer on a postcard" means. Hope this is ok.
I agree with Theexwife.
If I didn't want my wife to discover a present, I certainly would not have it delivered to our house among all the other things she orders. And, if I did, shame on me.

Just hope it isn't for his lover and not meant for you at all! tchgrin

The only thing you can do is tell him, at least it will be over the phone so you won't see his disappointment.

Wrap it back up and look innocent!

At least if it's something you don't like you'll have your 'just what I always wanted' face ready!

... oops!

Wrap it up again best you can. Don't spoil his pleasure - it's a nice gesture on his part!

Get out the stapler and the parcel tape. You can do it. Say it got damaged in the delivery van, driver apologised!

Thanks but you know the way Amazon wrap things, impossible to replicate !

Long story short, so many deliveries for Christmas at the mo. I simply assume they are as I ordered so open them ready to gift wrap. Simple, or so I thought .......
DH abroad until the 23rd. and never, ever in the last 40 odd years has he bought any presents for family etc. , my job, so happily opened the last arrival. Oh shit, it is obviously his gift to me !! Answers on a postcard please !
