Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

I don't have my own car anymore, so I can't hide them there and my closet is pretty full.

Even if I wrapped it, the shape of the box might give away what I got him.

What do you do to hide your gifts?

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

my mom's house.... they are all delivered there. she opens them, inspects the item to make sure they're not damaged, and then puts them in her closet. I pick them up one day and wrap them in non-discript boxes. then they go under the tree......

I hide it inside the boxes the decorations are kept in. When the decorations are up the boxes are empty and he never thinks to look in an empty box.

My parents used to hide our gifts in the Christmas tree box. My brothers and I would look all over for our gifts but we never looked there.

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

It doesn't matter - I leave them in plain site (as long as the box is non-descript) and he doesn't look in them at all. Some things I get shipped to my Mom's house because I don't want him to see the return address label, but if it's from Amazon, I get it shipped to our house.

Me on the other hand - I have no idea where he hides my presents. I'd peek!

Closet in the basement. I just told him the other day, "BTW, you can't look in the closet in the bedroom in the basement."

I'm VERY lucky to have a DH who is not, in any way, a snooper. He'll never go in there.

I know where he hides mine (not allowed in the office closet), but I'm not peeking. Chat Icon

that does not help....mom's in NYChat Icon

If we did not have to go into our storage this weekend to get out the christmas stuff, I'd put the in there (lord knows he never goes in there unless I make him help me get something).

I guess I'll have to find room in my closet, at least until next week.

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

I keep them in my sewing room, he keeps mine in his office. I don't like to have any idea of what he could be giving me before Christmas, so I'm not tempted to snoop.

I have a back-up area I didn't mention.... we don't have tons of storage, so we have spacebags with summer clothes under our bed. I tucked his stocking stuffers down there.... he'd never accidentally find it in that mess!

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

we have separate closets and mine is a small walk-in so i keep them in there. he is afraid of my closet so he doesn't go near it Chat Icon

luckily, he is also not a snoop so i don't have to worry about him looking for things

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

Under the bed and some are in the living room still in the bags with the other gifts we bought for people.

He knows exactly where they are - he hates looking at his gifts before Christmas, so I don't have to worry. I actually tell him where I am hiding them, just so he doesn't come across it be mistake.

I wrap all my gifts when I get home and I don't label anything so he has no clue.

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

I am hiding DH's gifts in plain site. They are in with the other gifts that need to be wrapped. He hates wrapping presents , so he stays away from where I have the gifts. I will wrap them and slip them under the tree along with other gifts Christmas eve and he will be none the wiser.

Even if I didnt hide them, he probably wouldnt notice them. Chat Icon But I usually put them in the closet or under one of the beds.

Re: Where do you hide your DH/SO presents?

Last year I put them in my closet and just put a bunch of old clothes on top to cover them....I placed behind the door too, so if he did walk in, it wouldn't be so obvious, just look like a pile of clothes in the corner...it worked, but I think it helps that he doesn't go in there.
