Re: Where do you hide presents?

Right now they are in boxes in our master bedroom. Thankfully I ordered everything online so that I could do that bc my almost 7 year old and 5 year old get into everything.

I honestly have to figure out some type of system in our garage for upcoming years. I've seen on Pinterest sliding bins on the ceiling for storage, and I think it would be perfect for hiding gifts lol.

I wrap them as soon as I bring them home (or get them in the mail), then hide them in the basement.

Thanks, I'm always afraid to put things in the garage in case animals get in there and pee on the box or something, maybe I'll just get big tupperwares and seal things in those in the garage.

Attic. Kids always swear they hear Santa when Dh and I are up in the attic freezing our butts off trying to get all the gifts down at 3am!

I'll use the attic when DD is older.
My parents had a big cabinet in the basement that had a lock on it. We didn't have an attic and the garage was always a mess.

Same here. I used to keep them just anywhere in the room, but she is always in and out of there now - so closet it is.

Re: Where do you hide presents?

Basement garage, he doesn't look though. Now I was the biggest snoop growing up and found all gifts, so my dad kept them locked in his trunk or at work.
I order most things so boxes go right in garage, if DH shops he keeps it in trunk.

Right now the presents are hidden in my bedroom closet. She doesn't snoop in there. My only other hiding spot is in the basement. I don't like to use the garage for gifts onlyu because of how cold it gets and I don't know if that would affect any battery operated toys. Also, I'm not sure if mice can get in there at all and would be sooooooo pissed if they ate through (or pooped) on boxes. I know mice can be a problem this time of year so I don't want to risk it.

Re: Where do you hide presents?

So my DH likes to hoard boxes. I don't know why, but every time we get a package he says "Oh... this box is the perfect size for storing _____." Well last year we bought our DD a power wheels. HUGE BOX! He decided that would be the best box for storing holiday gifts. She can't get in it and since it's always in the same place (storage room in our basement) it's not interesting to her anymore. So we plop all the gifts in there.
I know growing up my dad used to hide our presents in the trunk of his sedan.

Re: Where do you hide presents?

I stash them all over the place, my moms, work, my in laws...the depths of my closet. The fun part is remembering where they are.
