So, do I lie to DD?

[KatyMac]

She picked a kindle case, I paid for it as she doesn't have a paypal account

I need small presents as we are going away for Christmas - it has arrived. Shall I say it hasn't so I can give her something she really wants on Christmas day?

Or is that mean?

I have done similar in the past so definitely do it unless you think she will get another somewhere else.

No, she knows this one is bought but it's American so I said it might not arrive until after Christmas
