Re: keeping gifts a secret

[ Edited ]

I'm so good at keeping gifts a secret that sometimes I wind up hiding them from myself and forgetting where they are or that I bought them at all until June.

I almost always spill the beans even before gifting  if I know I have found a good gift. 

 

But when I get presents early I also open them immediately.  I don't do secrets.  Smiley Happy

I'm good at keeping gifts a secret.   Plus I like finding a gift without getting suggestions from the recipient (which is sometimes impossible).

 No, I first ask people what they want and pretty much tell them if I found what they wanted.  Wouldn't do that with kids, just the adults.

I never tell. It would never cross my mind to tell someone what their gift is ahead of time. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I was always kinda good at it but now, since we don't do any kind of holiday gift type thing, if I happen upon something I want to give it's cool because I don't have to keep a secret - just give it and that's that.  Smiley Happy

Not good at all, and I also am a champ at finding out what I'm getting. I don't care much for surprises. 🎁🎁

I'm very good at keeping gifts a secret.  At least to the recipient. lol 

 

I bragged to my Mom that a I found Santa on a tractor at HL the day after Christmas last year. My sister's husband has restored his grandfather's tractor (and his family's Studebaker & his family's ford pickup truck......)
