not so secret present

I finished wrapping my gifts today for the 10 year old girl I selected off the Angel Tree at church this year. I was able to get everything on her list and the wrapping was no problem.  However, keeping her gifts a surprise until Christmas morning may be a problem. One of the gifts she wanted was a light up 'figet spinner' and I noticed, after it was wrapped that the light up feature was glowing through the heavy wrapping paper. The other toy gift she requested was a "FurReal Puppy". This annoying toy is motion activated and repeats 80 different phrases, interspersed with barks and an occasional rude noise (was that really necessary?). I'm sure a 10 year old will think it's hilarious. I tried pushing on the tail to turn it off, as the note on the box suggested, to no avail. So it's sitting, heavily wrapped, quiet at the moment, but very likely to give away any surprise when anyone shakes it.  Ah well, it will be someone elses problem tomorrow. Being a basically helpful person, I did remember to enclose four AA batteries so its little life can go on.
