My kids aren't little, and they don't mess with Christmas gifts, but I still don't place them under the tree until Christmas Eve. I think it adds to the excitement to wait to put them there. But I still have to have a place to put them, as the closets are already full so there's just not room!
I found the solution: up high, in plain sight. Fun to look at, but no one can be tempted to shake...
I use all the space I can up there - I just leave whatever decor is up there, and put presents all around it.
It's only for a little while...Santa doesn't wrap gifts, so these are just the ones from Mom and dad...
My kids see them up there, of course but don't suffer too much from curiosity - after all, it's way up there. No one has yet tried to climb up to investigate, and we've lived here 13 years.
Hiding them in plain sight - works for me!
