Best “in plain sight” place to hide Christmas presents?

Anonymous
I put ours next to the washing machine. My kids never do laundry so are never in there.

10/12. Small gifts but big ticket items they will be surprised to receive.


Behind books on the bookshelf.

We have some biggish empty boxes stored in a couple of closets that have been there forever. Have been stashing birthday and Xmas gifts there for years, with kids none the wiser. Plus we constantly have Amazon boxes arriving and sitting piled in a couple of places, sometimes full waiting to be opened, sometimes empty waiting to be used for donations or eBay. Xmas gifts sometimes get unpacked, wrapped, and then stashed back in the box.

I don't make a huge effort to hide. I try to find a decent spot, but if the kids really want to snoop and ruin their surprise, that's on them.

Buy cereal they hate, hide in the boxes

In their Stocking, or wrap them and put up the tree early

+1 this is what we do, too. They are empty nesters and I think they enjoy being involved in Santa action again!

In the vegetable drawer in the fridge!

Small gifts in empty cereal boxes or other food containers they don’t like. Bigger gifts hide under my summer clothes in storage tubs.

Amazon boxes (un opened) in my sons closet.

The luggage trick from earlier in this thread is genius

Oh, this is good! Perfect, actually!

Luggage is great, especially if you have nesting luggage and can put it in the INSIDE piece. Or inside one of the middle pieces.

My mother used to wrap them, put them in my room and tell me they were holding it for a friend. I wasn’t very smart. It worked more than once.
