A few years and a few exs ago, I decided to give my then gf a new watch for v-day. She dug kinder eggs so I got one of those jumbo eggs Kinder Inc. had for a while. I carefully unwrapped it, cut it in two, and replaced the original cheesy surprise with the watch. Afterwards I sealed it back up () and rewrapped it.
Well, it seems I did too good a job. She unwrapped the kinder egg, probably thinking I'm an idiot for giving her a kinder surprise for valentines (ooo, big spender), and opened the surprise and just sat their staring at the watch. No hug, no squeal of glee. Just her muttering "Wow, they sure are giving nicer surprises these days."
....
<sigh>

//To reseal egg: warm up a frying pan, touch each half of the egg to the pan briefly so the chocolate just starts to melt and then hold the two halves back together for a minute or two
