How can I buy something off his website without him knowing?
My boyfriend started an art website showcasing a few of his artworks. I asked him a while back if anyone has bought anything from it and he said no. Probably because he hasn’t reached a wide audience. Anyways, I would like to be his first website customer but I want it to be a surprise. He always says he is going to just give me the art for free since I’m his girlfriend but I want him to feel special and excited for his first buyer. I started the process of ordering but it asks for payment information. I already input a brand new email (not using my real name) and my fathers phone number (boyfriend doesn’t know it). Now it says the payment information is secure but does that mean it’s only going to hide my card number but not the cardholder name? How can I get away with this?

Pay someone you work with to order the picture and give it to you as a gift.
But the idea is to make him think he had a real sale...so it would be better if they 'bought' the item and gave it to someone else as a gift...or they could donate it to a charity and tax a tax deduction.
You'd probably be better off just paying for some advertising for his website that will bring a LOT of people there to look at the art...if he gets 1,000 people a day looking at his stuff...he should sell at least one a week.

Surprise him?
- what's the surprise? that he didn't follow through when giving you a piece? that he didn't really sell something? The he spends a lot of time boxing something up & mailing something only to learn that his girlfriend was trying to support him in a really awkward way??

It's great that your bf has his own website. It definitely has been a slow year in the art world, and I'm sure he is waiting for a sale. I think that although your card # is hidden, your name will come up as the purchaser. I don't know but maybe you can get a friend to do the purchase.
