Instead of mailing it and taking the chance that it will get lost in the mail even though you are not far away, what about wrapping it up and leaving it in his car when it is finished. Could take him a day or maybe even a week to discover that it is there!!!
Another idea----make him work for it! Make him go on a scavenger hunt....could be a two or three day ordeal! Just let him travel or search all over with lots of MYSTERIOUS clues until he finds it. I would love it more that longer that it takes him to find it..

Years ago before we met my DH found a sale on "white" dress shirts and bought several. Keep in mind he is extremely color blind. Eventually someone in his office said they thought it was neat that such a manly man would wear PINK shirts with his suits! Sure enough they were pink and he continued to wear them. Just one of the many endearing things I love about him. Also, our house is decorated in what some might consider feminine colors and it bothers him not one bit!

What a good MIL you are!! He is going to love it. Sounds like he already likes the one you made for your daughter, so his will be a very welcome gift

Love your snarkiness, my friends call me the queen of sneaky as I do things for them right in front of them or buy things when they are with me. My concern would be the mailing as I have read so many horror stories of quilts getting lost or stolen. I like the idea of d e lingering it when he is not home
