I remember one Christmas and I really wanted the Tomahawk. I knew it would take up a bit of space, but I loved helicopters. As we went around unwrapping gifts, I didn't see any packages that fit the size.

Well I got down to the last present and opened it and it was a tiny Matchbox sized diecast helicopter. I swallowed hard and told my parents thanks for the helicopter. Mom said "Why don't you look at the back of the package?"

...There was a little sticky note that said "Go check in the coat closet."

My emotions went from subdued disappointment to jubilation in about 6 seconds!!!

There was the Tomahawk!!

Mom said she knew I wanted it, but there was no way to "disguise" the box.

That just came to mind when I read this thread.
