Depending on how bog or hard the present is I would hide it in the outer bag on my kirby or my Westinghouse frontloader in the basement. although I was thinking about the Furnace blower compartment since the furnace has been redtagged and is completely shut off. than there is the the storage unit and my dj rack which I can close and lock. but I think the best places is in side my speaker boxes since the speakers can be screwed back on to the box and no one will ever think to look there
Not for Christmas presents-but several years ago at the transmitter site where I am working -other engineers would smoke in the control room-to stop that I hid the ashtray in behind the harmonic filter cabinet in transmitter#6-while doing PM in it many years later-the ashtray was still there-took it out and threw it away-smoking is now prohibited in the building!YAHH-!!Other guys didn't know of the hiding place-I was the only one that knew.
