I don't hide my purchases. He gets the mail. He drives me to the quilt shop. But I did make him a quilt for Christmas one year right out in front of him. He didn't know who it was for because I made 20 that year for Christmas presents. He doesn't even roll his eyes. He just sits in the car, playing Angry Birds while I shop. He gets his stuff for his bike that he rides and his running equipment, shoes etc..
