Hockey player , Mike Comrie, surprised girlfriend Hilary Duff with an expensive gift for her birthday PEOPLE reports

"Okay, it's shoes or something," Duff recalled thinking as she went to her sister's house, where Comrie had said he left the present in the garage. "I opened the garage, and I was just like shocked, just standing there."

Before her, with a big red bow on top, was a Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV

"I was planning on getting a big car and I drive a big car anyway, and I was just like, 'You know maybe I like the G-Wagen,' and then I was like, 'No, maybe I like the [Porsche] Cayenne,' " says Duff, whose manager steered her away from the Porsche, reminding her that she was a "terrible driver" and "didn't need that kind of power."

"I've driven it tons," Duff said of her birthday present. "When I called him I was like, 'You're crazy! It's perfect!' "
