uh oh.

Tell her a card came through the door saying a parcel was left in bin/shed/whatever because you didn't hear the door and you haven't got round to checking. Obviously place the item in that location first.
 
Not sure you're going to get out of this one.

She's going to come home and see the box.
She's then going to realise you signed for it and subsequently realise you now know what it is.
She will then ask you if you know what it is, knowing full well that you do but holding out for some sort of miracle that means you don't (female logic).
There will be no miracle:
If you say that you don't know, she will assume you're lying and accuse you of having spoiled the surprise and therefore the whole of Christmas.
If you say that you do know, she will accuse you of having spoiled the surprise and therefore the whole of Christmas.

The obvious reply is that you do know. You will ruin Christmas but at least you won't be a liar.

Enjoy your present on Christmas Day :)
 
Open it, use it, and order another the same. When she gives you the new one act all grateful but tell her you've had one for ages. Send it back, get a refund, and sit back and receive a second gift from a guilty Mrs Diddums, who really should have noticed you already had a Living Doll.
 
I see a Yodel shipping label.

Therefore it is completely within the realms of plausibility that the driver forged your signature and stole it. :p
