[ It's what he would have picked, personally, so he's pretty glad to reach into his bag and start to pull out... Quite a few things, actually. There are tools, screws, pieces of plastic and metal, and all together, it's nothing that really looks like anything.
At least, not now, which is the point. This one isn't quite an immediate surprise, since he wasn't able to bring it fully constructed. ]
This, sweetheart, is gonna be your new best friend! Kinda- Okay, kiiiinda borrowed it without any intention of returning it from an R&D guy, but, hey, he owed me a favor, so. Whatever. Also, do you know how hard it is to keep secrets from you, baby? I had to go super offline to make sure it'd be a surprise!
[ He pulls out something that looks like a small motor, then gestures to it with a flourish. ]
So! When I'm done building it, this is gonna let you have any food you want! With, uh, within reason, anyways. I'll still have to bring you the basic material for it, but you're gonna be surprised at how well it works. It's a 3D printer, but for food. And they taste pretty good! I made some pretzels with it, and hell, you couldn't tell the difference at all. So! No more having to make a grocery list for me! Since I never get the right things anyways.
[ Probably because he rushes through it last minute and doesn't really pay attention, but. ]
