The Granbury Association of REALTORS速 Wishes your family a very
By: Courtney Craig Published: November 21, 2012 After you’ve fought the crowds for the best bargains, you’ll face another dilemma: Where to hide all those presents?
8 Super-Secret Hiding Places for Holiday Presents
Whether you’ve got a nosy spouse or a curious kid, you need a good hiding place to squirrel away those gifts until you find time to get them wrapped and under the tree. Here are some ideas we came up with: 1. Borrow a friend’s house. Swap storage spaces with a trusted friend or neighbor, and you won’t spoil any surprises. This is particularly useful if you’re buying someone a big present, like a bicycle or a car — you might talk a neighbor into letting you borrow space in their garage until Christmas morning. 2. Pop the trunk. This won’t work if you have an SUV or hatchback, but if you’ve got a car with a trunk that’s closed off from the backseat, it’s a primo place to hide gifts. Small children will never get in there. 3. Make your office work for you. If your office is a safe, secure place, squirrel some presents there. This is only an option if you work out of your home, though — home offices are prime targets for prying eyes. 4. Take stock of kitchen pots. Got a huge stock pot? Unless you’re planning to make a giant vat of soup anytime soon, the stock pot can hold a load of small gifts, and chances are your family will never think to look there. 5. Make use of your underwear drawer. Small presents can easily fit there. Your spouse probably won’t hesitate to look there, but your kids might stop short of rifling through your skivvies. (We hope.) 6. Crack the crawl space. If you don’t mind a little dirt and some creepy-crawlies, the crawl space can hold some sizable presents. Don’t store anything there for too long, though — unless your crawl space is insulated. Moisture and temperature changes could damage items. Plastic toys are OK to keep outside; electronics should be stored inside. 7. Rent a storage space. If you’ve got a ton of presents to hide, you’ll need to look outside your house. Some storage units offer one-month-minimum specials for as low as $25. Check the storage units in your area for deals. 8. Go for the cleaning supply closet. Worst-case scenario: Your kids might find presents there, but they’d also find the cleaning supplies, which means they might actually clean something. Now that would be a Christmas miracle.

Wipe down surfaces at least once a week to avoid any one big cleaning job.
Family room
Next time you have to take out the hand vacuum, give the silk flowers and other dust collectors a once-over.
For a quick everyday clutter fix, pick up some big, inexpensive baskets and fill them with the toys and knickknacks that seem never to have a home.
Stick that ugly plunger in a closet.
If you have time for a bigger job, pick up IKEA’s Expedit Bookcase and tip it on its side to use as a container for eight Knipsa baskets.
Stop buying spices and baking ingredients in bulk. You end up wasting money when they go bad before you use them.
Don’t fret about scratches and stains on your couch. Use a slipcover to easily hide unsightly damage.
Store canned items on shelving in the garage to alleviate pantry crowding.
Make cleaning surfaces simple. Rely on a microfiber cloth to be a do-it-all duster and baseboard wiper.
Stick under-the-sink odds and ends in a storage caddy.
Kids’ rooms Stick toys that aren’t regularly used in crawl spaces. If you have time, give the hundreds of Lego pieces a home by building a Lego table. Simply screw flat-based Lego pieces onto an unused tabletop.

Stolen Christmas: 5 Ways to Prevent Horrible Holiday Crimes at Home Published: December 21, 2010 Don’t let a Grinch ruin your Christmas. HouseLogic has five tips to keep your home safe and sound this season. 1. Keep your “check-ins” in check. Three months ago in Nashua, N.H., burglars targeted a home because the occupant told his Facebook “friends” he was going out of town. Announcing to your whole social network that you’re not home or that you just received an expensive present may not be a good idea. The ACLU and others have cautioned against posting information about where you are and what you do. If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences could be dangerous. It’s also something to think about if you’re out shopping for good deals. Through location-based applications such as Facebook Places and Foursquare, vendors are offering valuable promotions to shoppers who “check-in” at participating stores. But broadcasting this type of information could cost you more than it could save. Protect yourself: Never allow check-ins at your own home (you’ll be alerting potential thieves to your address). Don’t make comments about items you’ve purchased or received as gifts. Don’t check in online when you’re out of town. Limit sharing information to friends and family by only accepting people you know as friends and followers. 2. Remember to lock your door. There’s something Iraq War veteran and Rhode Island resident Christopher Adamovich, recipient of three purple hearts, will never again forget—to lock his back door.
Last Christmas, the first he had planned to celebrate in his newly bought home, he was robbed. Thieves entered through the unlocked back door and made off with hundreds of dollars of presents, including a Nintendo Wii, a Sony DVD player, and assorted toys. This type of scenario isn’t uncommon. Security company ADT says 40% of all burglaries are termed as “no force entries.” That means the predators gain entry through unlocked doors and windows. Protect yourself: Check all doors and windows are locked and that your deadbolt (if you have one) works. 3. Don’t give vandals a chance to act. In 2009, a North Carolina family decided to turn their front yard into a winter wonderland, complete with inflatable Winnie the Pooh and Grinch figures, to celebrate their little boy’s second birthday. It was a momentous occasion—their little one suffered from a rare bone disease and wasn’t expected to live long. Sadly, he has since passed away. During the display’s first night out, before they could show it off to little Ethan in the morning, vandals slashed the larger-than-life characters. Some acts of vandalism are premeditated and some are spur of the moment, but both leave you with expensive property damage and a ruined holiday. Protect yourself: Install motion detector lights on all sides of your house, and if possible make sure they’re visible from the road. 4. Deny easy access to the garage. In November, a Corpus Christi, Texas, family left their garage door opener in their truck overnight. To their dismay, they woke up to discover thieves had used it to gain access to their garage. All the tools, a lawn mower, and other equipment were stolen-along with all of the Christmas presents the family had stored in the garage for their daughter.
It’s convenient to keep the garage door opener in the car for easy access. It’s also just the kind of thing observant criminals are on the lookout for. Protect yourself: Never leave your garage door opener in your car. Always make sure your garage door is closed and locked, with the inside door secure. Don’t tempt fate-try not to use the garage as a hiding place for gifts. 5. Display the tree, not the gifts. For many families, a perfectly picturesque holiday includes the Christmas tree, all done up with lights, ornaments, and beautifully wrapped gifts, displayed in front of the living room window. Trouble is, it’s a scene crooks also like to see. Protect yourself: Don’t put out your gifts until Christmas Eve. Dispose of product boxes at a recycling center, not your garbage cans. All it takes is one thief’s determination to potentially ruin your holiday. Remain vigilant this Christmas--we encourage you practice the above safety precautions and see more tips in our article Do-It-Yourself Home Security Check: 5 Essential Steps. http://www.houselogic.com/home-advice/home-security/do-it-yourself-home-security-check-5-essential-steps/ Visit HouseLogic.com for more articles like this.
