40. A disguised gift

Disguise your gift as something totally different! A great idea is to wrap your gift up in many layers and boxes, all recyclable of course, so that he'll never be able to guess what your original gift is and will wonder, as it is so massive, what on earth it could be! He'll have to unwrap all the layers first, which will only increase anticipation to receive the gift and the final reveal will become even more special, once he's half convinced you've just got him a box with paper inside!
