shanni Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I use my basement and my closet, sometimes we have to use the garage too. When it comes to that point we SWEAR we are never buying this much stuff again.........sure we're not!
whafs8 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Our garage is our spare room but since we have kids they just see a bunch of blankets and now since there are presents for them we keep the garage locked.
blakes_mommy Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I use the attic, the kids think it is spooky, but really it is just cluttered!
oodles Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I think I'm going to clean out the downstairs pantry and put them in there this year. I've already bought some things and put them in my closet and it just isn't working out. I like have them sorted by person in bags and also have a list with what I bought each person with what I paid for it beside the item.
msomnipotent Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I have a large walk in closet that I use. Sometimes it spills out into the spare bedroom that I call the EBay room. I have such a bad habit of buying whatever is cheap or cute at auctions and then throwing it in the Ebay room when I tire of it. I'm just starting to actually put the stuff on Ebay. No room left!
alaurino1 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I keep mine in the attic until it starts getting cold then I move them to my cellar. One year I left them in the attic till I was ready to wrap them. It had already gotten cold. When I brought them down the ones with batteries went crazy. They started making noise and I couldn't get them to stop. Good thing my kids were sleeping and it didn't wake them up!
codeblue Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Keep the gifts in the storage room in the basement, there is a lock on the door and the kids can't get in.
Boilerhoss Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I want a room!! LOL I hide the kids gifts in our room or wherever I can so they dont see them. DH is different I have to hide his either at my moms or in my car but this year Im not sure where I am going to hide them because with gas prices so high we have parked his truck for a while and we use just my car. I will need to think of a good place to hide his that he wont think of? Cant take them to my moms he is helping her to remodel so he will find them there!! Maybe I will have to use the attic, I hate going up there!!LOL
