Ballsed up big time, please help
Discussion
I've been trying to buy some shure earphones for ages and finally found some e5c's on eBay that have slipped under the stupid bidding radar. I know it's a lot of money to spend on headphones, but this is my keepy back money and I'll spend it on what I want, but unfortunately, in the final minute of the auction, my wife caught me and I quickly had to shoo her out of the room.
Now if she found out I had keepy back money or the fact I've spent it on £200 earphones, she would flip out, so I quickly yelled it's a surprise for you, go away!
So she now thinks I've bought her a Birhday present off eBay, cheapish, but unique. Fortunately, her Birthday isn't till August, so I've got plenty of time to find something, but it's added the pressure as I have to find something unique enough that I had to buy it now.
Please help me! I need to find something cheap and unique by August.

Oh yes, and we all know who wears the trousers in Bob's house!!
Just say you lost out on the auction at the last minute coz you were interrupted. Problem solved, time between now & August to find the right present. For example, private number plate (Bob’s Christmas present to me this year which was very well appreciated!)

What she said.

But you don't have to go for number plates (could be faaaaaaar in excess of 200 notes)
Have you seen those 'Hot' diamonds? A fiver will get you a nice set of diamonte style earrings. She'll never know the difference and you can spend the other 195 quid on somthing nice for yourself.
Jobs a good 'un everyones a winner.

The e5c's are a fantastic bit of kit. The bass makes your head vibrate if you turn them up loud, but at normal loudness levels, everything is just crystal clear. It's like listening to a £1000 pair of speakers but in your head.
I don't really want a coolpix style camera for her, I think she'll be wanting something that has full control over the settings like a 80D or a Canon EOS350D or what ever numbers they've gone upto now.
I'm hoping to pick one up that's a bit older, the type of kit that someones off loading to upgrade to the latest.
