The holidays are here again, and that means making memories with family, delicious food, and gifts! Hiding Christmas or holiday gifts from prying eyes is not as easy as it seems. Analyze some of these hiding spots, including self-storage units in Panama, and keep your presents a secret until the big day.
In the attic or basement
Did you know that most parents hide their gifts in the closet? Kids know this too, so it will be the first place they look! Surprise them by choosing a slightly less ordinary spot like the attic, basement, or garage. Use plain boxes and write something misleading on the side like “Car Insurance”.
In a suitcase
Suitcases and duffel bags are great storage containers. If you have empty suitcases around the house, put them to good use this holiday season. Large suitcases are great for hiding large items, and hard-shell suitcases can hold delicate items.
In your kids’ bedrooms
Most children do not dare to look in their own room. Catch them off guard by hiding carefully camouflaged gifts under their bed or in their closet. Try not to ask them to clean their rooms right before Christmas, and they will never know how close their gifts are.
In the trunk
Curious family members are more likely to look for gifts when you are not home. Hide them in the trunk so they are always with you when you leave. Make sure to throw a blanket over the festive bags and boxes to keep prying eyes at bay.
With the laundry
Most children ignore both clean and dirty clothes, so you can hide gifts in a bag at the bottom of the laundry basket. If you plan ahead, you can buy a new, larger hamper where nothing can be seen before the holidays.
In plain sight
Hide gifts in an obvious place, but make them look much less interesting than they really are. Reuse delivery boxes or appliance boxes to throw them off. Make their new video game system look like a blender and they will never look.
At the office
A safe way to store your holiday gifts is to hide them at the office. They are easy to disguise as office supplies or in a filing cabinet. You just have to worry about your coworkers getting a little curious.
