OK, guys. This being the "Rules" section, it would appear that the ruling in this nightmarish particular situation is not clear cut therefore a spot of dice rolling may be in order. Bearing in mind I am expecting a second similar type of delivery (nb: not talking cricket here btw), I propose when second delivery arrives, I throw one D8. Based on the responses received so far, I propose the following:-

1 - 6  Hand the present over to the wife 
7       Open the package and treat as a late birthday present 
8       Re-throw (based on the assumption ianrs54's comment is non-commital) 

In the time honoured tradition of the gladiatorial .. er .. tradition, is it thumbs up or thumbs down?*

*Wait,wait. Question does thumbs up mean 'yes' or 'no' because I saw this documentary once and ......

D6?  (sorry, Ian, not with you there ...?)

It's geek speak for six-sided dice...

[Westmarcher]

I know. But why a six sided dice when there are eight outcomes? (hence the D8 - an eight sided dice)

Brilliant idea FSN - But that might be why we are both divorced

Wait until after Christmas presents before informing the (insert female of choice) that dining table will be requisitioned immediately until further notice.
