were do you hide your presents

[roseteapot101]

I hid my other half's present under the divan bed no draws just under.The beds wedged into a corner by a heavy wardrobe and chest of draws.I pushed it to far under now its stuck and i cant lift the bed

The loft as i need a lot of space.

Odd tiny thing in wardrobe but that's full of clothes so no way would I get Xmas presents in there as well like others do.

In unsecured boxes on a table in the play room ! As yet none of my 3 school age kids ( eldest is 7 ! ) have even thought to look bless them....

DD doesn't get realise that the door next to our front door (we're in a flat) is actually a big walk in cupboard. About big enough for a single bed, so plenty of room. Most are in there but some are in plain sight. She's 2 so this is the last year I'll get away with that

In previous years I've tried:
In my sisters flat which worked fine until she went out drinking on Christmas Eve without letting me know or charging her phone. Cue major drama and a tense and tired Christmas

In boot of my car which was fine until DS decided to investigate the back seat and showed mummmy, who had no clue about this, that there was a hatch through to the boot. Cue stern raised voice and prayers of thanksgiving that I'd used black sacks

Under the bed in the spare room/ junk pit/ black hole with the door locked which was fine except for the stress of wondering if they would wake up while the stash was retrieved and brought downstairs. Should have put Valium on the shopping list that year.

This year it was the attic which is due a major declutter and the bags of gifts were camouflaged nicely among the bags of redundant baby paraphernalia. Kids were dispatched to grans while I transferred gifts to car boot on Christmas Eve and it would have worked fine if I hadn't been too Lazy to haul some up to attic and too dozy to remember that I'd been lazy. Cue puzzled mummy on Christmas morning wondering where some of the presents were.

Next year I'll get it right....really

White rattan storage baskets on shelving in utility room. Look v neutral and innocuous! Plus it is mostly my domain.

Not so much to conceal from DH (DC have left home) as for me to remember where they are and keep them together in one place to avoiding losing/forgetting!

Some hidden in plain sight in the cupboard in the hallway, though little fingers are starting to pry. Some in my bedroom wardrobe and some under my bed.

Sorry, forgot to add: I brought a Christmas planner last year and it was a Godsend. Had everything I brought for Christmas in there so I could tick off presents as I found them and hunt for the ones I'd forgotten.
