Where do you put all of the presents you have bought?

[ChristmasIsComing2024]

I have done a lot of my Christmas shopping already but I still need around 10-15 more presents plus stocking fillers and stuff for Christmas Eve boxes!! I also have a few birthdays coming up before Christmas as well!!
I have filled an ottoman with presents for my partner and child and I have bags of stuff on top of the wardrobe for everyone I don’t live with and there’s no more space 🙈🙈

All over the house. We don’t have a loft and very little storage so I keep large boxes and wrap and store as I go… then keep a spreadsheet to keep track. This year I am doing advent baskets or 12 days of Xmas bags for friends and my mum too so that a lot of the gifts will be gone before December starts…

Currently under my mums bed, then when I run out of space I’ll use my sisters bed space and the boiler cupboard which is out of the way and dc have no need to go anywhere near it 😂

Wardrobe in our bedroom.

All bought, wrapped and in my office. We only do one main present for everyone and then I do a stocking with about 15 small fairly cheap presents for my DH. Children are adults and have their own families so they don't get stockings.

In the loft. I have up there big bag each for the dcs stocking fillers .. then labels for each child against the next doors ajojning wall and put piles in front. Then to the left other people's .
I also have fairy lights up there and it's boarded and carpeted and I sit up there and wrap. I go ott at Xmas and there's no way I'm lugging all that down to wrap to drag it back up and then down Xmas.

Adult children now but I used to hide presents in the draws under their beds that has sheets etc in. They never suspected the presents were in their rooms and would search other parts of the house

Everywhere!

My DCs are use to me having carrier bags and boxs everywhere, mainly in my room, they think I have stuff in them I’m “sorting” sometimes I do and make sure they see this, but quite often they are hiding presents.

At the moment I have some draws in my wardrobe they think I use for out of season or too big to hand down clothes, it’s actually full of presents with a thin layer of clothing placed on top. I have a carrier bag tied up with presents in and a black bag. I’ve also got bits stashed in my bedding draws and under my bed. Pretty soon I will start moving things around and most will go in suitcases on top of the kids wardrobe.

One present I’m particularly super proud and happy about arrived today, I was asked what it was as it was in a big envelope with lots of do not bend stickers, I said it was something important for DHs work, it will stay next to his desk in plain sight until Christmas. We’ve dont this before with large boxs, as soon as we say it’s work related to loose interest.
