You have discrete and discreet mixed up. To be discreet, someone or something is being careful or using caution, so as not to be too obvious...
"The presence of Christmas was discreet - a moderately-decorated spruce here, a string of lights there."
From Christmas in Rome by Philip Marsden.
To be described as discrete, something is seen to be a separate thing...
"The endangered Arizona pygmy-owl is discrete from the remainder of the species."
A good way of remembering the difference (spelling and grammar checkers don't know the difference!) is that the t in discrete separates the two e's... they are discrete.
"...as amusing as last year when he got to watch Minerva open the box that he'd filled with a wide selection of cat toys:--brilliant!
