Where do you hide you OH's Christmas presents?

Inside the washing machine
Or next to the iron & ironing board:D
Seriously, I use the spare room as my study and I have a huge pile of packages/boxes stashed in one corner, all waiting to be wrapped. The whole family has strict instructions to "stay away from Christmas Corner" on pain of death.
Someone said that they were going to spend this Saturday wrapping with some mulled wine for company - what a great plan, I'm going steal it! :beer:£2 Savers Club 2016 #21 £14/£250

We both have our own hidey places for presents, Christmas and birthdays. Mine is a big cupboard in our bedroom, where he knows not to go, or else there will be no surprises!
His is a cupboard ( or three! ) in the snug, usually the storage place for computer / camera stuff, so I never need to go there.
We both manage to buy,wrap and hide all the presents successfully, so the system works for us!0 -

That was me, I wonder if you'll be able to look at the row of presents and see how our wrapping skills gradually go downhill.
My heating in the living room isn't working at the moment, I hope it's fixed by then or else I might need to have extra wine, for warmth you know.0 -

My wrapping skills are pants at the best of times so no-one will be in the least bit surprised if they get even worse! £2 Savers Club 2016 #21 £14/£250
