A woman who bought a gaming console for her boyfriend as a
Christmas surprise ended up being surprised after he opened the box and
found... two Bibles.
A report on CNN
said that Sandra Ortiz bought the Sony PlayStation 4 from US retail
chain Target for Christmas—but when he opened the box, all he found were
copies of the Good Book.
"Inside was not a console, but merely consoling words," said CNET's Chris Matyszczyk, who also wrote about the incident, tongue in cheek.

“I felt embarrassed. I felt like, you know, I just ruined
Christmas for him and everybody else,” Ortiz said, though the Target
store eventually gave her a PlayStation 4.
Ortiz joked that her boyfriend "didn't want the Bibles unless they were autographed by Jesus himself."
When she went to the store to explain her situation, the store "apparently explained that these things do happen."

However, he also pointed out an obvious way to keep such incidents from happening in the first place:
"Just open the box in the store. It really is that simple. Sometimes, you see, faith just isn't enough," Matyszczyk quipped. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
