To give this to dp as a Christmas pressie?

Sooo last night I had a few drinks, I’m a complete light weight and only drink at Christmas / New Year so have very little tolerance.

Anyway I may have accidentally booked a holiday after having one too many but didn’t tell dp, the only reason being that he wasn’t in the room - oops!

So would I be unreasonable to print out the confirmation today and give it to him as a Christmas pressie to get around the fact that I just booked it without asking him first?

Was a good deal though and he does love the place we’re going!

Have you paid for the whole thing?! If so yeah it's a present, if you're wanting your partner to contribute to the cost of it then no, it's not a present!

Iv come close to doing this so many times! Where you going?!

Yeah I paid for it in full, was a good deal Rhodes for 1 week A/I.

We were having a party at my mums and me and my bf got a bit carried away on the easyJet website hahaha!

Do it !

I think this is really romantic and bet he will love it.

The best things can happen from the spur of the moment decisions ( even those made under the influence ).

If it’s all paid definitely give it as a present. It’s a fab present, I’d love it!

Definitely do it, as long as you can afford it nothing wrong with it at all.

Omg that is brilliant! Grin I've been guilty of pissed ebaying but never bought a holiday! Yes give him it as a pressie, sounds like he'll be thrilled! If he sees the confirmation date just say you were hoping to find a bargain and were amazed to find a fabulous one at the last minute!

Thanks guys, you are helping my ‘buyers remorse’ from the cold light of day hehe.

I will wrap up the confirmation (with price scribbled out) and pop under the tree!

DH and I agreed years ago to give each other 'holidays' as Xmas presents as we ran out of idea of what to get each other. He gets me a nice weekend away in a posh place in the UK and I take him abroad for one of the bank holidays. It works great, so yes, I think that's an excellent idea and he better think it's the best surprise ever (and might make it a habit to encourage you to get a few drinks just before Xmas!)

Haha! Yeah he will be bringing the baileys home much earlier now if he thinks he’ll get a nice holiday every year!

I think that’s a great idea about presents swingofthings I might suggest that for next year. This year it’s just a bonus one! Wink
