    Just in my bedroom closet. My kids know that my room is off limits for playing in. They can be in my room with me, but no going in there to explore. They are 9 and under, so they aren't home alone (which is when snooping would take place). They have the entire home to play in, so my room is not a play room. They respect privacy and boundaries. We have other rules, such as no bringing their blankets into the kitchen or bathroom.

    We put them in our bedroom closet. The kids are not allowed in our room, so they never go in there.

    My closet has tons of boxes of shoes and boots. I mix them in there. My clothes are boring, so the kids won't look there.

    Top shelf of the closet. It takes a ladder to reach them. 12 foot ceilings.

    We usually hide them up in the attic...there's not a whole lot of floor space up there so our son knows he is not supposed to go up there. However, he is 7 1/2 and no longer believes in Santa and yesterday he took it upon himself to give me a few suggestions on where I could hide the presents. Sigh...does he really think mom going to fall for that!!?

    In the ceiling. My wife is the one I need to watch out for, the kids are happy to wait for the surprise.

    Mine are all up on the shelf in my walk in wardrobe. My girls are still too little to understand that they get 'hidden'. But, I do have presents under the tree (wrapped) for other people & they don't seem to care about them.

    I typically wrap right away - not for the kids sake but for husband! He's the biggest snoop!

    We have 5 kids, mostly all grown by now, but when they were very young, they were taught to never go into Mommy and Daddy's room without an invitation. We hid the presents in my bedroom closet. If they peeked, I never heard about it, but one of my children is so mature in his thinking, that he once told me he couldn't imagine peeking because then it would have ruined the surprise at Christmas.

    My daughter isn't the type to snoop. I usually put them on the top shelf of my closet, under the bed, or in the attic.

    I wrap Gifts right away. I put them under the basement stairs since there was room once the tree came out of there and the boxes of decorations. My son is a little scared of the basement so he doesn't hang out there long lol.

    I only have one toddler so far, so I stash them on the top shelf of my closet.
