|  Subject: Christmas snoops!  Tue 12 Dec 2006, 9:20 am | |
| Last year was the first time I 'colour-coded' my Xmas prezzies. I'd wrapped all DH's prezzies in green patterned paper and DS's in red. That way I didn't have to use labels as only I knew which colour was for who. This year I simply swapped the colours but....DS likes to be a little sneaky and feels the packaging to try to work out what might be inside, because we usually let him pick one gift to open on Christmas Eve night before he goes to bed. Today I bundled up all his gifts and wrapped them all together into one large parcel and tied it all up with curling ribbon....heheh!  That should keep him guessing!
Has anyone got any other ideas on how to fool snoops???

| Lol gayla...you've got it in multiples there!
I suppose if someone had a large chest or toolbox they could lock packages inside!
I decided to put mine below the tree early this year so I wouldn't forget any, that's happened once or twice...lol. Plus it helps to build the anticipation.

| I buy different wrapping for each child so I don't have to put name tags on them. I wrap them and put them into a box (1 for each child) then I tape up the box and hide ite (the shed, attic, trailer etc) I don't bring them out until everyone is asleep on Chirstmas Eve.
