I wanted to get him a card and maybe a little something to let him know I appreciate it. I want it to be a surprise like me leave it in his mailbox tonight so he gets it tomorrow, problem is...he lives with his sister who to my knowledge doesn't know about me and obviously since it's her mailbox too she's gonna see it and I'm afraid he might get mad or something having to explain to her who I am. Don't get me wrong, he loves me too and he's not embarrassed, he's just a bit older than me and is waiting a little longer for me to meet his family because he doesn't know how they'll react. Any opinions/advice/suggestions? Thank you! Reply to this Question Share |

Just give him the card & gift in person, when you see him next. It will still be a surprise, plus you get to see his face when he opens it/reads it which is always a good thing.
That way, you avoid any problems with his family plus you get to see him really happy when he receives it. A surprise is still a surprise regardless of if the gift giver is there in person or not - as long as you dont spill the beans before you see him then he will be just as surprised when you give it him as he would be when he opened his mailbox.
I hope this helps and good luck!
