I saw the Gerber pack in one of my local camping shops as well, seemed like a good deal IIRC, what's the little torch like?

No that's optional. It's allowed, but you can't tell them anything.

I can't hide my many purchases from my wife so I've gone to the spread them out approach.  The only downfall with that approach is when the deliveries end up lining up with one another too close.  It's like an artillery barrage when they fire each howitzer separately but all the rounds land on target at the same time.  :D  Some things are shipped USPS and some UPS, and some USPS shipments are closer than others.  And they sometimes arrive on the same day or several days in a row.  I try to avoid it but it's out of my hands.   :D

You must have the luxury of getting to the mail before she does?  If my packages arrive USPS she gets them first, if they arrive UPS I get them.

Where do they come up with this crap? ::) :D

I got a parcel from a Aussie Ebay seller that included a very well used Al Mar Falcon knife,I have really wanted an Al Mar knife & when one came up locally I could not resit  ::), he also had a Kershaw Leek & Chive that I needed  ::) :D :D. This 3 knife pack arrived while I was at work.
5 minutes home & I get delivered a box from Tim, apparently putting the box behind my back is not very subtle or ninja like  :D :D :D.
The box included a retired LM CX Skeletool , a FlipGrip , a Schrade Tough Chip & a Wenger Clipper  :drool: :drool: :D :D.
I got the 'you are just like a naughty kid' from the misses.In my defense the CX & FlipGrip have gone into my birthday present box. :D :D

Actually that's the same line of logic I use. :D

Making the occasional trade helps as well.  Not only doesn't it cost much (other than the P&P) but it becomes tricky for her to tell what I have, what I have bought and what I have swapped for something else. ;)  In truth my collection has been pretty static for a while now. :-\
