Ours are in a box in our storage closet... too high for the LO's to search through right now. I do ship everything to my office though (keeps DH from finding out what he gets too!) so I could potentially just keep everything here / wrap it here before I bring it home.

In our bedroom closet, but my 6 year old saw them. I need to find a new place next year. Luckily they are too high and he couldn’t see the specifics.

We have an extra closet in our master bedroom that we store luggage and miscellaneous boring stuff in, and that’s where presents go. I think next year I’ll put a lock on the door. For now I make sure to keep the box of gifts that other people have sent in front so if they did peek in, the would see gifts from their aunts, not Santa.
I never understood wrapping things and leaving them under the tree. My kids would be all over that the whole season, asking to open them, shaking them, trying to sneak a look. No thank you. Plus I prefer the magic of no presents there on Christmas Eve then tons when you wake up Christmas morning!

We don't hide, we wrap upon buying them and leave them under the tree. That is the way we have always done it in my family, though. It is building some awesome delayed gratification skills with my kids!

I never even thought about this. I just have them in one of our kid’s rooms in the closet in bags before they’re wrapped. It’s where I keep presents throughout the year and has worked so far.
As a kid I never once looked for gifts or shook them under the tree or anything, but maybe I’m weird?! I’d be so sad if my kids looked for gifts, but it’s probably inevitable.
