Last year his gift came in a box marked with the brand and it should have been a dead giveaway. He was totally surprised despite being the person to carry the box in... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354260 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:10:40 +0000 looch 2354260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband doesn't snoop, I do!</p> <p>When I purchase something though, it's a problem, because he will know in advance, so for this last gift, I had to coordinate to use a credit card from my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354241 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:04:00 +0000 mrsrain 2354241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hide gifts from each other, but we also tell each other, "Hey, stay out of the X until after Christmas!" We had to agree to this early on so we wouldn't stumble onto gifts and ruin the surprise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354236 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:00:22 +0000 MrsSRS 2354236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But he knows I do. He won't wait to open gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354234 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:59:58 +0000 LilSprinkles 2354234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either in my closest or in our spare room. I pick those places so I don't forget where they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354229 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:57:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2354229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to surprise him so I usually use my mom's house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354226 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:57:28 +0000 avivoca 2354226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've already wrapped his gifts and stored them somewhere he won't look (the infant seat). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354224 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:56:53 +0000 chopsuey 2354224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I've hid one gift from him in the 6 yrs we've been together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354185 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:40:10 +0000 tofuwad 2354185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is so oblivious that I don't really need to hide things from him! He can't even find things that are right in front of his face (which is funny but also irritating :happy: ).</p> <p>What does happen to me is that he will always buy stuff for himself. last year I tried to really lock it down and told him not to make any purchases for himself over $20 until after Xmas and he still bought himself most of the presents I bought him. He's impossible to buy for bc of this and his bday is right around Xmas, so every year it's a major fail on my part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354040 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:46:06 +0000 mediagirl 2354040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. At work. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354017 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:34:20 +0000 MoreCoffee 2354017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is the least snoopy person ever and loves to be surprised with presents. I'll tell him if I'm expecting a package and he'll never even look at it. Me on the other hand, I'm a box-shaker and snooper, so he knows to hide things well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2354000 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:24:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2354000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also each have an off limits place (although I've just realized that my off-limits place is now my son's closet, so that's not going to work). The problem is that his off-limits place is the closet in the office and it has stuff that I sometimes need, so every so often I'll open the door and think "Gak! No, I'm going to ruin Christmas!" and slam it shut again. So far I've never seen anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2353918 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:56:04 +0000 MaisyMay 2353918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We each have an off-limits place. He puts my things on a certain cabinet in our entertainment center and I tuck his things into my chest of drawers. So far, this has worked well. He tried putting my stuff in a place in the kitchen, but since I do the baking, I always had to have him get certain things that I needed so that I wouldn't accidentally snoop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2353906 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:50:26 +0000 MaryM 2353906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH isn't a snooper so I don't do too much to hide them. </p> <p>I have a spare dresser in a guest room and normally keep stuff in one of it's drawers. Or when DH's gifts arrive, I just keep them in the shipping box (sealed) until I'm ready to wrap them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hide-gifts-from-your-so#post-2353865 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:34:53 +0000 rachiecakes 2353865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes!
