Have you been purchasing holiday gifts
this season? Have you been having trouble with where to keep them so curious
eyes won’t find them? Here are a couple of hiding spots for little kids and
adults alike:
In a suitcase under the bed or in the
closet. Unless you are planning a trip your suitcases are a sneaky place to
keep presents. The best part is it looks the same on the outside no matter what
you store in it.
In plain sight. Grab a plain cardboard box
and write something boring on it in sharpie. 2010 tax return receipts should
keep the kids from checking out the box. You can up the ante by putting it in a
basement or attic where it is likely to be stored.
The trunk of your car. If your kids or
spouse can’t be trusted alone in your house with presents keep them with you
when you go out. This isn’t recommended for electronics though because of the
cold.
In your Hamper. If you have a large hamper, stick
the presents at the bottom and cover them with dirty clothes. You could also do
this in your closet with a large box, but cover it with a mound of old dirty
clothes. Just make sure you oversee doing the laundry or someone helpful may
uncover it.
If there are no safe spaces at your house,
ask a trusted neighbor if they will guard your treasure. You could even trade
that duty. This would ensure that even if someone found your secret presents it
wouldn’t be for them.
Good Luck and Happy Hiding.
