I'd say the moral of the tale there is to be a bit more creative. Buy it yourself rather than ask the partner for it. It's a very good price. In the unlikely event she notices a new game amongst the other new games you will already have, merely lie. The bigger the lie the bigger the man I say. And it is cheaper than having to reciprocate with another present to the partner. Say it was a gift from another opponent so that you can play him. Stress the gender so as not to arouse further jealousy and suspicion. Bob from Canada is suitably vague. Canada is a big place and there must be a few Bob's there. It works for me anyway.
