Chest of drawers? Take the bottom draw right out and look on the floor :-)
Wardrobe with a bottom drawer? Do the same. :-)
Cupboard under the stairs? The chances are that the wall is plaster board
and studding, (or lathe and plaster in a very old house) look at the end of
the wall from inside the cupboard, you will need a torch. Bet it's hollow
and nice hidey hole :-)

How's that for just a few easy ones? Then there are the downright devious
;-)

When I was a lad (sadly long ago) my parents bought me a full sized
wheelbarrow for Christmas. As there was no where to hide it they simply
put it in the hall and covered it with a sheet. I never noticed. So
perhaps you should look at the end of your nose!

At our house we had in Leicester I had a large garage. (Big enough for my
Jag AND my boat, THAT big) so I was the 'Santa's Store' for the neighbour's
big pressies like Bikes and Prams and such :-))

I was always busy on Christmas Evening dealing with Dads doing their thing
:-))

It's too late. You're either someone who notices small changes in your
environment (like me) or someone who doesn't, (like my other half - he

By now the changes will have been compounded confusing any search.

Eternal vigilance is the only answer. (Or buy some yourself - can never
have too much of a good thing.)
