Hiding presents!

So I'm basically just wondering where you all hide the kids presents? My DS has Christmas then his birthday on the 28th.
This year I've two massive boxes one for birthday one for Christmas they're fine taped up but he's only 4 so next year I may not get away with this😂

Suitcases
Stay in brown boxes on top of wardrobes, under beds, even by the front door.
In carry bags, put the handle over a coat hanger and hang it in your wardrobe covered by your clothes.

At the moment an ensuite shower room downstairs that isn't being used. All in bags and covered with more bags.

My ds' never went looking for his presents. I used to hide them in the cupboard in my bedroom. This year they are piled in the corner of my room in bags. He still hasn't looked.

I love the sound of the lockable storage room.

Main presents go in one of two cupboards and in suitcases. They get wrapped straight away. The kids snoop and sometimes they find them but they’re wraps so it doesn’t matter really. It seems to add to their excitement!

Stocking fillers are different as they’re the FC presents and get hidden where no one will look! We have a storage bed with drawers, but if you lift up the mattress, there’s a decent sized void space between the drawers. I take a couple of bed slats out, put any FC or unwrapped presents in there and replace the slats. The kids would never find them...they wouldn’t even be able to lift the mattress!
