How to hide a large present?

[hillview]

We are getting the boys a foosball table for Christmas. It will be assembled by the store we got it from -- and right now it is coming on Tuesday. I *think* it is too awkward to hide in the office. I am trying to figure out how to hide it in plain sight.

Option A -- put it against a wall and pile stuff on it and hope they don't "see" it -- sounds crazy but they often don't notice stuff.
Option B -- put it in the playroom and wrap it and hope they don't figure it out
Option C -- you tell me!!

TIA

Ours got a foosball table last year. We kept it at a friends house in their garage and DH picked it up xmas eve and set it up at our house. It was mostly assembled already but we just had to put the legs on - this way it fit in our suv.

Do you have a neighbor who can hide it at their house for you? When we gave DS an air hockey table last year, we snuck it in for the neighbor on Xmas eve.

your bedroom and lock the door?

ok so I don't know but worried the rods/handles will stick out and make it not fit through a door. Anyone have a foosball table and can say if it fits through a door?

Is there a room they never go into- the laundry room maybe? Or- if you have a car that they don't regularly ride in, could you just keep it in the car? Would that be feasible?

I doubt it would...... Unless you do like a PP and don't put the legs on.

Hmm that's a tough one.... garage? Or put a sheet over it and stack stuff on it as you said, maybe throw on some dirty laundry and make it look like an ironing board. LOL

DUH a sheet. I haven't thought of that!!

I would put a sheet or tarp over it and pile some junk on top and hope they don't notice. Das walks past piles of Amazon boxes without even noticing - he has no idea it's all stuff for him that I haven't put away yet.
