Where do you hide your gifts? My husband is a hunter and the gun room is always locked so that's where I stash the gifts for the kiddos. They are pretty sneaky and love to snoop so thank God we have a room that can be locked from the outside.

Just wondering where you hide your gifts for your kids.

    My kids are little yet and I do almost all of my shopping online so I just leave them in their boxes and tell them that they're for other people

    mmm, I tend to wrap gifts the MOMENT they arrive at the door because I not only have a snoopy four year old, but I also have a snoopy husband AND a snoopy roommate (or he would be if he wasn't working so much), LOL! Then they're put in the pantry. When I have had to hide them for a bit, they're in my clothing drawer (underwear is best, ha ha) or way up high where a certain little dinosaur can't find them XD. But I really do have to wrap them immediately because our home isn't very big and thus there aren't many hiding spots.

    We've been unsuccessful in previous years, but this year the boys have both been sleeping together in my 3 year old's room and they never go into my 6 year old's room. They are in the older son's closet in a big brown box. Haha, if only he knew!

    I was just thinking that the perfect place for the gifts would be the spinach drawer in the fridge!

    I take them to work and hold on to them until the last week. Wrap them there and then bring them home. MUST do this. The boys are worse than the girls!!!

    I don't bother trying to hide them. Anybody who sneaks a peek will be INSTANTLY tattled on anyway.

    Last year was hard. My husband built a giant wooden swing set in the back yard on Christmas Eve. I took my son to the zoo during the day while it was being built but it was rather difficult to keep him inside until morning.
    This year should be easier, anything small can be hidden in a closet or outside in the boat shed.

    Problem is, I don't know what to get him.

    Mine is only 2, but he's already figured out that we keep most things we don't want him into on the top shelves of our closet. He knows where they are, so we just wrap them as they come into the house, or we just don't bring them in until he's in bed. He sees lots of presents in the closet, and points to them, but obviously can't tell what they are :P As he gets older we may have to get sneakier.
