motoXmom Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I've sat in front of DH and wrapped his! LOL I just do it so casually he never gives it a second thought! I've had him help me with the ribbon on his own packages too, like "Hey honey put your finger here and press it tight" .. etc.. He never knows!
erh12275 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 can you all hide gifts right under your kids noses?I can leave them in the boxes and inthe bagsa nd the girls never offer to bother them.Last year they found and got out and played w/ one of their gifts. Luckily this year I have a huge closet that they never go in.
best4less Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I have them in boxes right out in the open right now and my kids are none the wiser. They found my hiding spot last year! Luckily I had everything in bags so they didn't see much.
Gloey Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I used to hide my son's gifts in his very own closet back in the corner. He never noticed them! LOL
Kandy Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I had them under my bed, in the front closet and in my closet

treasure60 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I have a closet here in the computer room,,,and nobody ever opens it because they are afraid what might fall on them! I usually take my daughters things to my sons house ...but everyone else's things are here in the closet or in my room under the bed.
EmmyNavasMom Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I have 4 BIG boxes in my room full of her presents but they are taped up so she doesn't bother them.
sapphire Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 i store them all in a rubbermaid bin, i have so many of them NOONE wants to go near them, but my kids are lil, its the BIG KID i have to worry about
nini Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 i just kind of store mine in a box in my closet, but my parents hide them randomly through out our garage. one year, after purchasing a lot of "big" presents, they took everything to my grandparents house to hide. and another year, mom was careless with where she hid things and i accidentally found about 5 of my presents. :) i still acted surprised on christmas morning though.
Kimp67 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I don't really hide them, just keep them in my bedroom in the corner in bags. If you can see through the bags I'll throw a blanket over them. I've told my son (now 13) for years that anything he finds goes back to the store!
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I've already wrapped all the gifts I bought so far. They are in the garage in thick black contrator bags. One bag for my daughter and one for my son. Keeps everything organized.
tootsieroll23 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I hide the kids presents in our suitcases under our bed.
mjmcca Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 when i was a kid my mom would hide her stuff in my grandmothers basement. She would start early with the toys buying them a little at a time from the Sears wish book. I remember late one summer being in that basement with my father and seeing the corner of something barbie in a BIG BOX! When I went to get a better look at it my dad got me out of the basement quick! My sister was the master at finding all of my mothers hiding places. She would come to me and tell me what she had found. My dad had some closets in the basement that were filled with tools and drill bits screws nails you name it it was in there. She was all over those closets to the point my dad had to put a padlock on them. She was sneaky though she would wait until they forgot to lock it and then she was in it again!
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 My mom would tempt my sister and I and keep them in bags in her room. Its was like she dared us to peek in there. We did only to find out she always wrapped early! :)
snickstx Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Coming from afamily that is constantly shopping, I mean constantly, there is usually inventory stacked in unused rooms at all time at parents house. As I am carrying on the family buying business, I deliver all items to their house. My kiddos are too you to recognize anything but toys, I hide those at home in my closet. I was able to get my sister to wrap her own gifts last year and the year before that, glad I got 'em on tape. I will try to do the same this year, just trying to figure out how to beat the laptop and cameras, I'm broke this year.
dorkydiva Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Right now they are in a box in the living room, and the kids haven't noticed. I guess I need to put the box in a closet just to be safe.
cami_reardon Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 We have an extra closet in our bedroom aptly named the "Christmas Closet". I start buying on Dec. 26 so I just leave everything in the bags and put them in that closet. The kids don't know what is for who since they are all old enough for each present, so even if they do go in there, they haven't got a clue. Plus, I always purchase for extended family (in laws, my mom, sister, etc) first because they don't ever ask for anything specific. That's how I can start so early and still have a magnificent Christmas for the kids.
all4linkae Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Mine are usually just in my room. The kids don't bother them.
Guest all2tired Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I used to keep them in the basement but then the kids started finding them not to mention the year the hot water heater burst and soaked all of the wrapped gifts. Since my hubby FINALLY finished putting a floor in the attic (only took 10 years) I now have the gifts up there. Kids can't reach the pull string to lower the steps
