    I've hidden the kids' presents in their own rooms before - that's the last place they'd ever look :D Small stuff has been stored in the tumble dryer, I just used to make sure I used it while they were out so there's no chance of being caught.

    Most of their stuff is small now - funny how they older they get, the stuff they want gets smaller. I take the bottom drawers out from chests of drawers, put the stuff on the floor then put the drawer back.

  • This year I started using kitchem cupboard, dd knew about and didn't bother to look in. UNTIL she found out I had bought her some Ferrero Roche (?) she was in the cupboard like a shot:D
  • we have our caravan on the drive, so all mine go in there, blinda permanently down from spetember on wards.

    its a right little grotto in there nearer christmas, all ours are in there, next door neighbours kids bits that are too big to hide, and two of my friend, plus another friend hides all her treats and choclates in there so they cant be eaten before the big day.

    i should start to cahrge storage space !!!
    the more people i meet!! the more i like my dog !!;)

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • It will be the first year of hiding presents for me, my daughter is old enough now to know that santa will be bringing her toys!!!

    Think I will hide them in the drawers under my bed or in the airing cupboard!
