Every time occasion lends itself to gift giving, Dave tries to guess what he is getting. More often than not he is right.
But this year, for his birthday, he was convinced that I was getting him an air compressor. I played along, and fueled the fire. . . for almost 2 weeks.
So when his actual gift arrived I found the biggest box I could to wrap it in. Unfortunately the box wasn’t quite big enough to be a convincing air compressor – but I still had him confused. Here is the wrapped package:
I added a few random heavy objects from the garage to give the package some weight, and to further deceive him.
This is what he actually got:
Its the Canon SD1000. He’s been wanting his own digital camera, since he usually doesn’t get free reign of mine. So despite the fact that it wasn’t an air compressor, I think he really liked it. He has been a little snap happy lately though. I think I’ve created a monster.
And you guys thought we already took too many pictures. Just you wait. lol!
This camera is freakin’ awesome! It also takes video. I’ve got some funny stuff to show, so be looking for a post from me really soon!
You are so tricky Tina! I’m looking forward to seeing Dave’s pics. We’ll be needing a new camera soon too…hmmm.
Anyway, can you email me some pics from the CV night for my blog? Thanks.
What a sneaky wife! We are looking for a new camera, and i can’t choose. Dave i’m looking forward on seeing your pictures and videos. Great gift Tina!
Curtis is the same way, he always tries to guess what his present is. I’ve had to get pretty creative in wrapping too, and it has worked! Mr. Snoop hasn’t figured out his last presents. 🙂 Yes, we are moving in August. Curtis has accepted an offer to go to Clemson for his PhD, so off to South Carolina we go.
