Uhhhh shit... I don't want h to think I'm a one upper

For Christmas, my main present from h/cousin is a trip to Paris and Disneyland Paris. I got to open it tonight because cousin moves home tomorrow and won't be here for Christmas.

For H's main present I got him tickets to go to the fareo islands this summer since he's been talking about going for years.

I know that he's already going to be unhappy that I got that for him, especially since he says I'm always (I swear I don't do this on purpose) a one upper at getting gifts.

I need to give him the tickets sooner rather than later because he needs to start looking at hotels and planning since things book up so far in advance.

I don't want him to be upset, but the trip is in July and I'm afraid if I wait till his birthday in April that the good places will be gone.

Wwsnd?

Can you boom the hotel and do some planning for him? Then save the gift for his birthday?

Allthough honestly, I don't think your gift "one ups" his. They are way different.

I thought about planning for him, but planning a trip like this is kind of out of my comfort zone. And it's been a dream of his to go for so long that I know half of the fun for him will be planning it.

I don't want to book the wrong thing for him.

I can totally use his discount to book, but usually his discount applies to non-refundable rooms only.

In that casr, I would rave and rave about your trip to paris and then kind of down play your gift to him. Like, "oh man! I can't wait for DL Paris. This is going to be the best thing ever! Oh yeah, here is a dumb trip I planned for you. Yay Paris!"

Would it be super lame if I waited and gave it to him in January? Like after we go to Disneyland?

I'm kind of with BabyA - can you wait the 2 weeks to give it to him for Christmas, but meanwhile spend the intervening time talking up how exciting and fun EuroDisney will be? I think it would be weird to give it to him in January.

and hey, while in Paris you can hit the flea markets! I've *always* wanted to do that.
