Where do you hide the presents for the kids once you've bought them?
I buy the main ones in November, and store them at the kids' Gran's house.
Smaller items are kept on a big box in my bedrom.
As a child...who all went hunting around their house? :rotfl:

Everywhere i can!! Lol mainly under the bed in the draws covered up with pjs!!
On the last day the kids are at school, we clear out the cupboard under the stairs and everything goes in there, we then put something in front, last year it was a mirror we where waiting to put up, so the kids dont try to move it and go in.
I have to do this as trying to get everything downstairs without waking one of the 4 is impossible.
Oh im excited now!!!!Proud to be DEBT FREE AT LAST0 -
I regretted finding presents in the airing cupboard when they came on Christmas morning addressed from Father Christmas
There's a window seat in my little girl's bedroom that they don't know has storage underneath. That's where they're all going.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I am very lucky to have a seperate appartment I use when I am working as I work a long way from home.........so everything goes there including the xmas groceries that I pick up item by item each time I shop.
I used to hide freinds things at my place and mine at theirs so that really confused those looking to see what they are getting.
