Ok folks, here's a question.....
I bought my mom a recliner for Christmas/birthday. She knows she's getting it but I let her believe it was ordered too late and won't be in until sometime in January (if I waited a couple more days it would have been too late! )
Anyway, her birthday is in a couple days and I'm going to her house tomorrow to help decorate her tree and do some Christmas shopping. I paid off the chair this afternoon and its sitting at work waiting for me to pick it up.
Do I:
A) give it to her tomorrow and shock her.... If I give it to her tomorrow, the plan is to leave it in the car and wait for her to go to the basement, then run out to the car to drag it in. I want to see how long it takes her to notice a new chair in the living room.
or....
B) Save it for Christmas because its supposed to be a gift for both mom and dad. I often feel dad is left out of gifts because he's incredibly hard to buy for, so maybe giving the chair to mom early will make dad feel as if once again he got short-changed in the gift department.
I am very much torn as to when to give mom the chair. When would you give the chair?
