Hide that Gift!

I love selecting and buying presents for Christmas. It is a ton of fun! One thing that I thought about on December 1st this year was: where to hide the presents? In our old house we had a handy tiny closet in the eave of the roof in our bedroom. It had a lock on it to keep the kids out and all the presents fit safe and sound in there.  I was struck with brilliance last week as I thought about where to stash them this year in our new house. SUITCASES. I wanted to hide the gifts in our large walk in master closet, but the kids think it’s fun to play in there sometimes. In looking around the closet my husband’s large suitcase presented itself (see what I did there) as a great spot to hide the gifts! I filled another suitcase as well and it is no longer a worry that they’ll discover them! My sister is an overachiever and wraps gifts as she buys them, so there isn’t even a need to hide them. Another suggestion I have is an empty Rubbermaid storage container or garbage bag that can be placed on a high shelf. Good luck to everyone trying to keep little hands away from their Christmas treasures!
