I hereby decree

I hereby decree that the Internet, a thriving network of commerce and communication, is probably the worst gift-buying tool in the world. Why must I receive order confirmation emails that detail my transaction, including what it is I bought. I don't mind if my wife knows that I bought something, but if it is for her I don't want her to see what it is. Example email subject: Order Confirmation - Secret Gift For Your Wife - #11123124.
