Where do you hide all your Christmas presents?

we have some of the larger ones in the loft , some smaller ones in wardrobes , and a few hidden under what look like piles of clothes on the bedroom floor ( yes the bedroom really is that untidy at the moment ) and a bike at my aunts house - luckily this year most of them want small gifts want small gifts so they are easy to hide even if they do look pathetic under the christmas tree.
as for when I get them under the tree , tat has to wait until eeryone else is in bed christmas eve but I may let the 16 yea old help this year as more often than not she is up later than me !!!I am journeying to a debt-free life.
Our estimated debt-free date is January 2040. I'm on a mission to bring that date closer!

I hide ours either in the wardrobe or what was the spare room, i don't bring them downstairs until DS is in bed christmas eve, his face in the morning is fantastic.
I have to hide DH pressies in places he would never think of looking, he's the only one in our house that will go on the hunt, even though he say's he doesn't.
I even had to wrap our nephew's present as soon we got in last week just to stop DH from playing with it :rolleyes:If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride then we'd see the day when nobody died.
ROCK IT DON'T STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BE GOOD OR BE GOOD AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to hide them in the loft, shed, neighbour's house or mum's house. One year, we didn't hide them at all, we actually put them in the kid's rooms (behind all their other [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] stuff), they didn't have a clue :rotfl:
They're put under the tree late on Christmas Eve.Bulletproof0 -
On top of the big fridge in the kitchen, and on top of the kitchen cabinets- great places- no-one ever cleans up there apart from me, so it's fine for DD and DH!Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

I leave mum's presents at dad's and dad's presents at mum's.
I think I'm getting a greenhouse for xmas this year, which could be a little hard to hide (or wrap!)0 -
right this will sound so organised but hey ho... i buy a gift from a shop (all year round) come home enter it in my online document and paper document. I then i hide it in a built in cupboard in my room after i have sealed the carrier and wrote a name on there (not the person iyswim). Then from september onwards i usually wrap one per weekend sticking a number on the side, and putting that in my documents. All my presnts stay in there till xmas eve then i move them to the bottom of my bed and xmas morning before my sister arives they are placed by the tree0
