    Personally I think Christmas is a time of giving and feeling loved/blessed to be surrounded by family and friends. I don't think it's a big deal that you spent the most on it or that she saw it. Yes it ruined the element of surprise on Christmas day (or Eve, whenever you planned to give it to her), but I don't think that it's a big deal. Still wrap it up and put it under the tree (or whatever your family tradition is) and give it to her all the same. Just because you know what you are getting doesn't make it less awesome or make you feel less grateful that her parents spent a lot of money on getting her something :) It really is the thought that counts, and she would hopefully see it that way!

    No, but I don't look for any porn. If I was searching something and it came up I would immediately report it to police. I think those that are being arrested for it are lying saying that it was an accident. If it was an accident why wasn't it reported right away??? I think that those that take the pictures/videos of child porn should have the worst possible death imaginable.

    Christmas isn't always about surprises, it's about giving. You were going to give it to her eventually, just make sure she doesn't get it until Christmas now. It's a childs job to be full of curiosity, and don't feel bad about not being able to surprise, I'm sure the look she had on her voice when she saw her gift was more joyable than ever.

    If you haven't told her that it was for her yet then don't. That way she'll think it's some big secret, and won't even think it's for her.

    If you have told her or given her a reason to believe its for her, then tell her that you had to take it back because she has already seen it. Tell her you got her a doll or something instead (assuming she doesn't like dolls very much) . :)

    Merry Christmas!

    Either you could tell her it was for a cousin or other family member or you could tell her you returned it since she saw it.

    Or you could just let her know about it and then make sure you hide the rest of the gifts really well and they will be a surprise.

    Tell her that it is a gift for your boss or maybe your wife or her siblings. Then, hide it somewhere she can't reach to. Maybe your closet. In your dresser... Areas like that.

    Take it back to the store and exchange it for something completely different. When they ask about it say you were holding it for another family.

    If she asked about it, tell her it's a Christmas present for someone. You don't need to specify it's for her. It's not lying, but it's not telling the entire truth. (:
