I ordered DH's Christmas present on line the other day and it came today (such quick delivery and in great condition!). But... it was not in a plain shipping box as I expected it would be, but in the box that proudly displayed exactly what it is. Picture and all. He was home today and found it waiting on the porch. *Sigh* I was hoping to surprise him. Good news: He is happy with it. Bad News (for him): I told him I was wrapping it and he had to wait till Christmas to play with it!  |

Boo!!! I had a near miss the other day, DH returned home earlier than expected from being out of town and I had just, literally 20 minutes before, taken the giant box displaying what it was and hid it in the basement!
Now I almost wish he had found it, so I wouldn't have to wrap the thing. It's a custom liner for the back of his Jeep and the box is huge. I'm thinking I'll just put a bow on it rather than wasting a bunch of paper.

Oh no! Glad he is happy his gift though even though it now won't be a surprise at Christmas. I've been trying to plan carefully regarding packages being delivered but had a near miss yesterday because Son arrived much earlier than expected.  |

Me: If a package comes from Amazon, don't open it.
Him: What is it?
Me: (duh) It is a surprise.

That happened to me two days ago. DD keeps complaining about not being able to find her name spelled correctly on Coke bottles, so I bet her that I could find it. I ordered a set of customized coke bottles as stocking stuffers for her and her cousin. I never dreamed they would come in a bright red box with a Coke logo!
We stepped out onto the porch Saturday evening, and the box was sitting there. It shocked me so much that I didn't move, and the dog took the opportunity to slip past me for a jaunt through the neighborhood. After spending 20 minutes retrieving the dog, DD says, "So, you found an Alison coke bottle...."

I have had two episodes like this where the manuf ships in the box of exactly what it is. They were for ds and he was home. Luckily this year when his weather tech mats came my dh saw them first, LOL he thought they were for him..hahaha um sorry dear but they weren't on your list. I was able to avoid that gift from discovery but the other one was too late. DS was a trooper and acted like he didn't notice, but he had seen it.

Yet another reason that I love Amazon. They tell you when the item is evident from the delivery packaging.
