I usually use the method of 'hide in plain sight'...LOL. I have a big box, that Dh got some luggage in and I use it to hide gifts. It just sits in the basement, in the corner, I can fit a lot of stuff in it and the kids have no clue!

Other stuff, that I buy through the year for people aside from the kids, I keep it all on a shelf in my office.

What do you do?

Usually hidden in my bedroom. Probably the same this year.

Right now I have stuff under my bed BUT I'm going to wrap this weekend and then put in garbage bags or a box and in the attic.

Last year I didn't start shopping until after Thanksgiving and I had my Christmas decorations out. I had 2 empty totes in the attic from my decorations -- I put the gifts in there. They were in there unwrapped though, so I am going to try to wrap everything early this year so I'm not doing it all at the last minute.

We use to keep it in the basement (unfinished) but the kids will go down there now. We have this little shed (looks like a tiny cottage house) that we will keep everything in. It has a deadbolt on the door, we we dont have to worry about anyone getting in.

I hide dd's presents on the top shelf of our master bedroom walk-in closet. Really large presents for dd are kept at my dh's office at work.

We have a shed. I have dh hide the presents there.

Right now I hide them in the bottom of our linen closet in our master bathroom! The 2 small tubs I have in there that are labeled "GIFT TUB" are overflowing and I have gifts just in bags stuffed all around them! My boys don't get in there much, but in case they do I put the gifts for their cousins out front as much as I can!

Of course my boys are only 4, 2 and 2 months... at some point my strategy will have to change!

LOL Oregeno ! I "hide" Everything in the plain view method -
I have always Fooled my DH and my kids this way...

I run out of room with christmas gifts though so ...


Now I am lucky cause my Mom Loves to wrap , so I buy all my presents , Paper and tape and she does all the work and storage at her house.
Dh picks up the stuff xmas Eve , covers it in his trunk with a Blanket and we bring them in when the kids go to bed

Mine are in the attic. I plan to look through my stash tonight and make a list of what I have and what I still need.

in our back entry way there is a closet and inside that is a door to the closet under the stairs thats where my gifts go the kids never get in there. i do wrap them as i get them just in case they may for some odd reason. that way they may know there are presents in there but they won't know what they are.
