    This expression is believed to originate in ancient Greece, where beans were used as a means of electing officials. Candidates in elections would place their upturned helmets in a line and voters would put a bean in the helmet of their preferred candidate. When the election process ended, the number of beans in each helmet would be counted and the winner was the candidate with the largest number of beans. The winner’s helmet was then returned to him with the beans inside. He would then spill the beans and place the helmet on his head thereby signifying his acceptance of the post to which he had been elected. Spilling the beans was therefore a means of revealing the outcome of a secret process and has passed into the language as disclosing a secret.

    See,Both my wife and my kid are terrible at keeping secrets particularly when it is presents. I have found a simple solution. When one has to be involved with the secret….Lie to them what it is. Then when they let the cat out of the bag…and they always do.. the recipient is still surprised because the surprise was never spoiled.
