Best hiding places for presents???

[BabyGiraffes]

I'm fairly safe with a bedroom cupboard this year with my dds aged 4 and 2 but have to have better ideas soon. Any suggestions for a house with zero storage (not attic, basement, shed, garage...)? My parents were brilliant and managed to keep four of us from finding things before Christmas, on some occasions storing larger items with our neighbours ( How unfair! ). In fact, my mum was so good at hiding presents she often forgot them, so there would always be a lovely extra surprise around Easter around Boxing Day...

Ours in on top of the wardrobes wrapped in various bags to hide the picture showing the actual present inside.

My Mum would wrap all our presents but we each had a different wrapping paper and she wouldn't tell us which ones were which until Christmas Day Worked a treat.

Although to be fair the chocolate orange boxes were easy to spot!

Right, have to get friendly with the neighbours to hide things in years to come...
Have already asked a friend to dry two sets of new Christmas eve pyjamas for my girls (I prefer to wash new things before they are worn but couldn't think of how to dry them without the girls seeing them early...)

One year Christmas morning my sister woke up my parents around midnight, telling them that she could hear a dog barking. They told her that it must have been one of the neighbours, she said none of the neighbours had a dog.

Anyway parents tried to bluff it for a while, then when the dog wouldn't settle down, they felt it was too unfair on the dog, and bought in the dog from the shed, that was my sister's Chrismtas present.

Every year my kids get presents, but I'm so good at convincing them that every year that I'm too disorganised to have bought presents prior to Christmas, they are just in my bedroom and the kids don't go looking.

Mmm but for the poor dog...
