Christmas comes around.

I get mine delivered from here, there and everywhere. I tell my 8 year old, as the parcels arrive, that her Aunty sends her daughter’s pressies to our house so she doesn’t find her presents before Xmas. My daughter still hasn’t clued on to the fact they’re actually HER pressies. Works a treat! 
In the trunk of my moms car
I wanna know too for future reference 
For now, I had it stored away in the basement. It only worked I think because it did flood so it’s been undergoing repairs. He’s been pretty amazing at staying out of there
Used to hide them at a neighbors they brought their kids presents to my house I took my kids to their house.
If they are old enough and seeking out your hiding spots I would say they don’t get anything. If they are stumbling upon it by accident that’s different. I told my son to keep out of my room at Christmas time and if I found out he went in there I would tell him he doesn’t get it. That kept him out. Sounds harsh but it worked

We have an under stair storage and an outdoor storage that locks - helps that the kids are too little to think to look 
At my job, my parents house and even rented a closet sized storage unit before
This year I got creative and stashed them in the tree box and ornament bin in the garage until I had time to wrap them. My daughter at 9 has never actively looked for presents though, the first time she does will be the only time she does it. I will donate everything she finds and she will only get a couple presents from Santa. We don’t play like that in my house

I wrap them as I get them and I used to hide the wrapped gift but, now that my kids are older I just put them under the tree.

I feel for you! My brothers did the same thing to my parents when we were growing up. Thankfully, we have older neighbors that live behind us on a shared driveway and they allow us to have all our Amazon orders sent to their house. I even did a delivery of gifts I store shopped for the other day to get them out of my van due to my 13 year old nosing around.

Places I can never get help around the house lol the laundry room being the main one then the trunk of my car (for gifts that can stand the cold, it’s like -7 degrees here minimum. I can’t get my kids to go outside)
I keep them at my moms till I’m ready to wrap
In my bedroom closet but my kids all knew/know that my room is mine and not theirs to be digging through. They are welcome to come in if and only if door is open but in and onto my bed is the extent of their visit.
My kids never snooped… just wrap and keep in your closet…if they think they know what their gift is I agree …just make them wait until Christmas
A laundry hamper full of clean clothes
He’ll never find them!! 
You find it. You loose it. Is our motto here. My kids do not even look now

Wrap and put under the tree…right away…it’s fun that they try to guess what it is…lol
Being the kid who found every present and unwrapped and played with every present … keep them anywhere but YOUR HOUSE!!!
Trunk of car and top of closet, but my child is only 3
My presents are in plain sight in binbags , not one been seen … I have bikes , go kart and scooters too … X
This year we have them in our camper.
We decorate, then buy the majority of our gifts. I just reuse the empty totes to store gifts.
Presents from Santa get hidden but everything else gets wrapped as I get them and put under the tree. Now I did get creative and bought some bells to put in random present boxes so if they get shaken to figure out what it is they’ll just hear jingling lol
My closet. And I tell them that’s where the gifts are. But my kids don’t snoop 
. My feelings have always been that if they spoil their own surprise that’s their loss. I don’t really care if they see them they just don’t get to use them until after gifts are exchanged
Try the trunk of your car?
The trunk of the car. I’ve hid gifts at a family members house once. Lol
My kids don’t go looking for presents but if they did what ever ones they found would go to someone else. I’m not gonna play like that.

My gifts are sitting in the hallway by the front door, in their original boxes. Lol. Haven’t opened a single thing yet to wrap.
My kids have literally never snooped…so non issue
I wrap ours and put them into the Christmas Tupperware and then out of the way
I just wrap them and put them under the tree right away. She’s allowed to pick them up and look but she can’t open them until Christmas.
Under the tree. Then they don’t go looking for them. You can then put the surprises elsewhere.
Our deal in our house is if they find them they have to donate them. They know not to go into our closet. Not that they will see what they are because they are in boxes/bags from Amazon. It’s worked so far.
We have an closet/attic space that we dubbed the creepy closet when we moved in. Simply calling it that has made it the perfect hiding spot. The kids are scared to go near it. And no, we did not start calling it that to scare the kids. It literally reminded us of the closets in horror movies that starts all the trouble.
I usually hide them in the empty tree box and Christmas bins in the shed.
My son was very thorough in searching for presents. He would go through each room, one at a time, and search every drawer, closet, corner. Then one year I “hid” them at a neighbour’s (they didn’t have kids). Christmas eve came. My son found no gifts and there were none under the tree. He had quite a lip on. Then of course Christmas morning, they were all under the tree. He asked where I had hid the presents and I told him. Mom had out-started the kid and he never went looking for gifts again (at least not that I know of…ha ha).
The best thing we have found is to wrap as you go. Or hide at grandmas!
A friend of mine “numbers” her presents. So no one knows whose is whose! Then keeps a list of the numbers locked in her phone!
Gifts from mom and dad get wrapped when they are brought home, and put out when the tree goes up. Santa gifts get hidden under a “pile of blankets” in my messy bedroom. They never suspect a thing😆
I put them in my trunk one year. All wrapped
How about the trunk of your car? I used to put my Easter candy there so I would not be tempted to eat it - ha!
We have a rule.
The presents are hidden in a closet where they have no business snooping around. If they look for the presents and find them, we give them away to families in needs.
It works.

As of right now my office, shes 3 and she knows that room is off limits always even when they are no presents hidden. I’m sure when she gets older I’ll have to find a new spot

i just put then in the way back of my closet in my room, and tell them they are not aloud in my closet at all!
My son is in everything. I wrapped and put them in a black plastic bag in our closet, and some in a box he couldn’t reach or see. He’s 3 and already saw one un wrapped in my closet and keeps asking and talking about Mrs. Dump Truck.
I hide all the wrapped gifts in bins and in the attic.
We wrap and put under the tree right away. 
In the trash bin in the garage
In my mother’s closet. I don’t allow him in her room much. So they are safe there
I keep everything in the trunk of my car
