Where do you hide the gifts you have already made/purchased?

I have a gift closet. I have 2 large totes I put everything in and some things are under my bed. I know that my kids could find the items on any given day. I am just hoping they won't. I don't wrap them until it gets closer to Christmas. I take one day to sort and wrap everything I have.

Where do you put yours? Do you wrap them when you get them or do you wait for a special day?

My bedroom closet is off limits. I accumulate gifts all year long and as Christmas gets closer I wrap & keep a list of what I have.
That is kept in my dresser, also off limits ~lol.

I have an alcove in the front of my livingroom.... dh built sitting boxes around the room (under the window sills) .....
I have 2 large ones that measure 3'X3'X10 feet. and one in the middle 3'X3'X4, I have lots of room for hiding goodies....

I have my closet to hide things in. the kids are too little yet to go looking for their gifts yet.

I hide things in the basement in the bedroom dresser and chest that we aren't using right now. Of course DD could go looking for them, but so far she never has.

Our bedroom closet and my neighbours house. I usually take a day as well to wrap and tag. The boys are at that age that the temptation of "peeking" is at it's peak!! Those gifts go to the neighbours!!

My closet, a rubbermaid tun in the bathroom and for those little items that I don't want the boys to find, my lingerie drawer! LOL!

They will never go in there!

I vary where I hide the gifts- most of the time, I lock the gifts in the motor home

I have the key and they can't get in there. They actually have no desire to get in there in the fall/winter months.

I have hidden them in the barn loft and the root cellar (unused currently as it's door is rotting), the unworking freezer in the basement, my mom's basement (her basement is separate from her trailer and no one goes over there unless there is a problem with the water heater).

We have a shed and dh built an upper floor.I keep all gifts there and have made a gift wrapping station.

I used to keep some in the trunk of my car, some in the motorhome and some in the guest room closet but all my kids except one are grown and flown now so I don't have to be so ingenius with hiding them anymore, they mainly stay in the guest room closet.

In my attic

**simplemom** · 10-12-2003, 05:05 PM

In my closest....but the older boys have figured it out...so I really don't know where I could hide them now...my home is small...not much space left. lol

**QuilterMom** · 09-22-2004, 04:44 PM

Under the bed, in the back of the master closet, or in drawers of furniture (usually just the furniture in the master bedroom).

Before I left my Ex I used the motor home - I could wrap in their and play music and be warm - even make tea. But alas I left that with him. So now I use... The Tack room

Its cold but it smells good (its cedar lined ) and it has lights plus I am the only one who ever goes in their t get riding gear so its perfect!
