Wrapping toys for Christmas
There's a certain skill involved in being a parent towards Christmas time that means you have to be very careful to buy the right presents, but also to be able to hide them away from the kids.
One option is to not have them in your own house. The disadvantages of that can be that you still need to wrap them and then sneak them back into the house on Christmas Eve. Always make sure they're going to be covered by insurance too - your presents in your own home might well be, but in someone else's they might not. Break ins around Christmas time can be heartbreaking and expensive as thieves often target homes just for the presents.
The advice from our local Home Watch is not to leave presents out under the tree on display. Of course many people like the way they look, so want to find an alternative way round this. It's simple - collect empty boxes and wrap these as presents and keep the real ones safely hidden away. If you get boxes that stack inside each other they will be put away without too much effort too. This is great for confusing the children too - if they do open an empty box, who are they going to tell! You can also tell them that Santa magically sends the presents inside the boxes on Christmas Eve and that they have to wait and see what Santa brings them!
Hiding the presents in a cupboard out of their reach might seem like a plan, but kids are enterprising and will just bring a chair or stepladder in! The best thing is a locked cupboard. That way they are not tempted to peak. Keep the key out of their way though!
