Buying presents for Christmas, birthdays and other occasions is easy. After all, this can be accomplished with a few strokes on a keyboard. Trying to hide the gifts can be a little challenging, especially when a son goes snooping in every closet and under every bed. It might seem as if all of the good hiding places are gone, but they are available for the taking. Read on to discover good places to hide gifts from a snooping son, and give him a real surprise for Christmas, his birthday or any occasion that calls for presents.
Hide Gifts from your Kid in a Cleaning Supply Cabinet
Does your son usually go out of his way to help clean around the house? If not, hide his gifts in a cleaning supply cabinet or closet. Keep them in a box that has been securely taped shut, and label it to look like packed cleaning supplies. This is one of the very best places to stash almost anything that will fit. Your son will not find his gifts - unless he suddenly decides to go on a cleaning spree. What are the chances of that?
Hide Gifts from your Son in Baking Pans and Roasters
If you have a baking cabinet or a closet that is used to store baking supplies, this is one of the best places to hide gifts from a nosy kid, but only if this area is not used to keep anything else. Box or bag the gifts, and tape it closed. Place it behind bowls, pans, cake mixes and anything else that will make everything look as it usually does. If this snooping son does not cook or bake, chances are he will not look in this area anyway, even if he is probing for gifts.
Have a Relative or Friend Hide Presents for your Son
Another one of the best places to hide gifts from a snooping kid is someone else's home. Forget about trying to stash presents around the house if he is a diehard snooper. Take away the temptation by making it clear to your son that presents are not beneath your roof. He might search anyway, but he will never find them.

I like the idea of having a relative hide the gift. I used to wrap Christmas gifts and leave under the tree only to find later that my children told me they had opened them and neatly wrapped them back up again.
