The title says it all. It was on accident, but it was his "big" gift. We have very little storage in our house, so I put it in a place where I thought he would stay out of until he could bring down the huge tub of wrapping paper from the attic. ... guess not
I know I'm just hormonal right now, but I really feel like crying because he won't have a gift to open on Christmas... besides stocking stuffers.
Has that ever happened to you?

I think I ended up getting him a terry cloth robe at the last minute one year so he could have something to open.

Sort of. I bought my husband a gift that he couldn't wait to get his hands on. He snooped and found it. Pretended like he didn't find it already when he called asking me where it was. Come to find out he was parading around with the watch on for hours before he called me. Oh well. I didn't feel bad he opened his gift early. It was just one less thing to do on the holiday.

He hasn't found one, but he has guessed correctly and I don't have a poker face.
OH and one year I bought tickets to an out of town football game for the weekend after Christmas... He kept suggesting we buy tickets and go, then started getting mad at me and was picking a fight after I kept shooting the idea down. Finally I was so upset that I just whipped the tickets out and gave them to him. He felt pretty horrible about ruining my surprise.

@runnerd: You are so awesome for doing that. I would feel awful ruining the surprise.

I already wrapped DHs present and put Cs name on it. Hahaha. Sneaky!
I wrapped it in paper that I'm not going to use on anything else, so I can tell which it is.

I'd still wrap it and tell him to pretend to be surprised when he opens it. But I'm cold like that...I wouldn't put too much effort into finding another gift when it's not your fault he happened upon the one you already got him!

@loveisstrange: that is so sneaky!
@jedeve: it was a keurig.

My husband doesn't usually find his gifts but he only ever goes into a mall when shopping for my Christmas presents. And then remembers everything he's ever wanted and buys it himself "while he's out". I bought and returned his gift three times one year when we were just dating and I had no real right to tell him how to spend his money. Now I just remind him not to buy anything for himself between Halloween and Christmas and if he does it any way I announce "merry Christmas" when he shows it to me and take mine back and he gets just stocking stuffers.
