The missing parcel

In June, a friend asked me to buy her a dish from Skiathos to replace one that she loved and had broken. I bought it and brought it back. I saw her shortly afterwards but forgot to give it to her. I put it away for safekeeping for the next time I saw her. Then I forgot where I had put it. So as of today, I still have it, and luckily have found where I had hidden it. She told me to unwrap it and show it to her, but I said, ‘no, that will spoil the surprise’ . I shall hopefully see her before Christmas!!!
