Today, I came home after doing some Black Friday shopping for Christmas presents. I told my husband I got the must-have toy our daughter has been dying for. As soon as I said it, I heard squealing and turned around to see her standing right behind me. There goes the surprise. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband called me from the store, trying to decide whether or not to buy the new games console he's been wanting. I'd already purchased one and hid it, ready for Christmas Day. I couldn't talk him into not buying himself one. There goes a $500 surprise. FML
Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML
Today, I was with my seven year-old daughter purchasing my husband a present for his birthday in a few weeks. At the register, in the very long line, I asked her where we could hide his present so he wouldn't find it. She loudly responded, "Hide it in your room! He never goes in there!" FML
Today, my wife told me she had a surprise for me when I came home. Surprise to me means sex, not a new puppy. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for my employees' children. After seeing all the others, my daughter's turn arrived. She sat on my lap, put her lips to my ear, and whispered softly: "I want a new dad." FML
Today, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I gave him the gift, and he started playing with the bag it came in. FML
Today, I went and bought my wife a new cell phone for a Christmas present. She called me five minutes later saying she got a notification e-mail thanking her for her purchase. FML
Today, I came home and told my husband that I got my own Christmas present so he would have something to give me at the family gathering. He asked me if it was wrapped. I said it was. He said, "Nice." No follow up questions at all. FML

Should've told him in secret.

Well it's still okay to wrap it up and hide it until Christmas. I'm sure she is happy to have a family that loves her and gets her what she wants at times .

Agreed, If I was the OP, I would've checked to make sure she wasn't around before saying anything.

She's going to be excited for Christmas! You probably should have made sure she wasn't around though.

if you didn't say the actual toy and just said the "must-have toy," you have a chance to front like it's the wrong toy. she will be happier when she finds out it is actually what she wanted!

Well at least she'll have fun with it, what did you get her?

If she's really little, she might've already forgotten about the present! Or just say it's for someone else and then surprise her on Christmas!

Though I didn't always get it. :(

My parents always gave me one special toy early to tie me over before Christmas. It made that gift extra special and stood out. Christmas was sometimes overwhelming because 10/15 great gifts were difficult to decide what to play with first. I plan to pass that same tradition down.

My parents did something similar, but we did 10 days of Christmas. One great gift on the first day and small gifts up until Christmas eve.

All we do is have Christmas dinner, get the odd present and then bugger off again. I'd like to have those traditions.
