Stick it in a bin bag and tape it up and say that's how it came. *shrug*

ironically, the dutch don't know what this means.
All the others are fed up holding parcels for him.
I wish. We don't buy much unfortunately
True. I'm dutch and I have no freaking clue what it is
//Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I think I'll hide the monitor and laptop and distract her all night so she doesn't think too much about it (fnarrr). Then tomorrow give it to a neighbour so he can drop it off in the evening and say he received it for us.
Only option really. Can't afford to have a grinch at Christmas. She's the best turkey chef I've ever experienced

stick it in a black bag and tape it up and say the delivery company did it because of the rain. first take the monitor out though and swap it with your old one. she will never know, then act surprised when you take out your old monitor.
I thought of that but there are a few loopholes, first off it's signed for, second it's Yodel who generally don't just leave things in bins or secret spots and thirdly out bin bags are very specific ones so she'd spot that instantly.

As is said earlier - take her shopping, it's you're only hope; although it's gonna cost!!!

Just leave standing by the front door so it's the first thing that she sees when coming home. Her problem not yours. Why worry!
This is probably the best idea I've seen so far, but I pick her up from the train station after work so we get into the house together

She bought you a Lenovo or a swift?

Why can't you wrap it and stick a delivery note on the outside?
Crap. I'm going to have to come clean and tell her. She just rang and said "apparently one of my parcels has arrived", at which point the buzzer went. It was the neighbour, who ironically was picking up her own parcel which was delivered here earlier.
Crap.

She might be nuts, but she's earned major points for buying you that.
You done good with that one.
Now the neighbour has arrived, just proceed with plan A and hope she doesn't check any tracking signatures. That's unless you haven't already crumbled when she phoned.
Yo dawg...

Nip to the shop get some black bags and tape and say it arrived like that possibly due to the rain.
Not going to be much help I'm afraid.. but jeez she certainly spends a decent amount of cash on you for Xmas. She's a keeper!
Yep, you have no idea. This woman would literally die for me. I'm man enough to admit that I love her. This isn't even the "big one"
I just told her. She's a bit disappointed but I was expecting worse. Ah well, she'll get over it I suppose. It's just annoying me because I know she was bloody excited to get me this for xmas.
