So, which presents have you put in a 'safe place' and now can't find?

[CharleyDavidson]

I think I've got all mine. After hunting out gifts that had been stashed on my kitchen shelf, in my wardrobe - which is now breathing a sigh of relief after 2 heavy bags have been removed.


I spend a fraught ten mins looking for a book that arrived for DD2 and found it where it had fallen down the side of the sofa.

Still MIA - the personalised label I ordered for my niece for a nutella jar. I couldn't find the ones I got for my DD's but managed to locate them this weekend for their stockings, but the one that I ordered separately is still unaccounted for.

[CharleyDavidson]

Oops.

THere's a possibility that one of the dds will get the same DS game twice. They have one each. One is wrapped and I think I've remember for who. But I could be wrong.

[slicedfinger]

I still haven't found the silver anniversary card for DSis and 21st card for Dniece I bought a month in advance in April.

[Martha70]

Every bloody year I keep looking for hidden presents like a mad woman to a great amusment of my OH!They usualy turn up by christmas eve,drives me potty!!Right now I'm missing two.

[NowBringUsSomeFuzzpiggyPudding]

Small gift I got for my friend in a lightning deal months and months ago. It must be really far back on the top shelf as I can't reach it!

I also still need to wrap my mum's earrings, the box they came in was awful though so I want to find another box first. They've been lying around as I keep forgetting. They're about... somewhere

[Moomazoo]

DH asked what we have bought them probably a pile of shit but I just can't remember !!!!

[Want2bSupermum]

Hahaha! DH has gone out tonight and I went to wrap his gift. I got him cuff links that are his initials and paid quite a bit for them plus went to huge trouble to get them made. Well one has fallen out of the box. Can't find it anywhere.

[CharleyDavidson]

Oh no!

[PurpleThermalsNowItsWinter]

I'm still finding last years gifts!
Not repeated it this year. They all went in carrier bags in the bottom of my wardrobe. I stuck a piece of paper inside and wrote the bag/shop name and number of presents it contained. I was frazzled last year and searching/wrapping into the early hours. This year there was no searching so everything is wrapped already. Except the chocolates as they are still in the shop. We're stuck at home until scooby doo & the ghoul school finishes, sigh. They love scooby doo. Santa has brought the DC the mystery machine, character & Schleich monster figures as a shared present in the hope we can add to the collection for more imaginative play.

[SymphonyofShadows]

I think the only thing that isn't accounted for is a Mario Kart Knex figure/bike. It's a small stocking filler so it's not the end of the world if it doesn't turn up. Still no idea where Despicable Me 2 is from last year though.

[SayAGreatBigThankyou]

just some felt pens, so have replaced them

[Deux]

Nutella labels seem to be featuring in this thread.

I bought 2 last year then couldn't find them. The children were then baffled by the extra jars of Nutella in the cupboard.

Thankfully I found the labels recently, put them in a safe place, bought 2 jars of Nutella I stashed away. But not sure where the Nutella is now.

I think it may be in the laundry basket.

[Redcrayons]

Christmas undies. They've been staring at me in the wardrobe for a month. Can't find the buggers now though.
Still waiting Amazon to arrive with something as well

[Greydog]

We hid a Dungeons and Dragons board game in the loft 20 years ago. It has never been seen again!

[TheWoollybacksWife]

A Star Wars micro machine for DS's stocking. It is very small and it is some where on the top shelf of my wardrobe. I need to take the step ladders upstairs to have a good look.

[FishWithABicycle]

Last Christmas I decided not to add 2xlego superhero dvds to DS1 stocking as he had too much and didn't need more - I had gone a bit shopping crazy. Planned to give them this year instead. Hid them away somewhere. No idea where.

[crookedhooker]

That remains to be seen. I bought the gifts and DH has wrapped them. It's not unusual for a random gift to turn up around March .

[Toofat2BtheFly]

Not this year but when my dd was 8 I brought a 'to my daughter at Christmas ' card .... I looked everywhere for it.

I found it when we moved 4yrs later , it is still sat on the book shelf waiting to be written .... Dd is 18 next birthday

[Trenzalor]

I lost my best friend's present. I bought it in October and wrapped it (I have no memory of doing this). I have searched everywhere for weeks. I live in London. It has just been found by my mum in Portsmouth.

[OnlyHereForTheCamping]

Socks! And probably more that I have forgotten I bought

[Glassofwineneeded]

My dm spent a whole day looking for a gift that she had already wrapped up and placed under the tree!

[ShesAStar]

DS's Pop Up London book. Can't find it anywhere and have ordered another. If the original turns up I will give it to my Nephew as a birthday present.

[TheSpectreOfMorningtonCrescent]

Little things-- bag of biscotti for Dh and a wooden iPod stand for dd. Somewhere in Narnia-aka my bedroom.

[LittleMissGreen]

I found my Nutella label today. My mum had decided to tidy and I found it in the recycling box! Slightly damp as has been raining, but looks ok now been in the airing cupboard.

[Sonicandknuckles]

Ive lost a really big box of chocolates! I dont understand how and where they could have gone! I did have them on top of the fridge, but the cat kept pushing them off with his sneaky paws. I thought of a safe place, and have no idea where that is. Most likely with all of my other missing items i put in safe places!

Thankfully it was just a spare gift i thought is throw in for my parents.

[CharleyDavidson]

I've lost a Christmas jumper, but that's mine and it doesn't matter that I can't find it, probably until Jan to then put away til next year.
