How to Guess What Your Christmas Present Is...

This instructable will tell you helpful ways to guess what your Christmas present is...In fact it doesn't even need to be a Christmas present. It could be a birthday present!
This instructable doesn't cost any money and only needs a person (you) and a wrapped present...

Step 1 What You'll Need

YOU WILL NEED:

1. You...eyes, ears, maybe a nose (I don't think you'll need it that much...unless someone gave you some food), and hands.
(if you have a disability, I apologize)

2. A wrapped present...

I think if you knew what your present was before hand, it would ruin the point of surprising you on Christmas day. Plus, whenever I know about a secret like a Christmas gift, I always accidentely drop little hints that I know something. I think this was a clever 'ible, and you're just as smart! But I think it would ruin the surprise.

I totally Agee with u

[zombieking]

it is hard to gess what you got where would you think that they will hide it. maybe the bigger stuff is at your grandmothers house. the smaller stuff in there closet.once you get a chance you should look in the closet

[Nicepolicy16]

I would say instead of guesing what's inside the present , just go out and buy exactly the same cheap wrapping paper the present is wrapped in . unwrap each present to see what's inside . Then wrap them all up again in identical wrapping it had on before . The present giver would be none the wiser, that you already know what they have given you .

[ostomesto]

I would use this but right now the only gift for me is in a bag. We keep most of them hidded away until X-mas eve and around then. This sucks :(

[Toxicity]

haha. my sister wrapped New Super Mario Wii in a Cocacola 12 pack, I had no clue what it was!

[HmstrSteve1]

lol. my mom bought me an i pod and put it in a box full of legos. i was pretty bummed when i piked it up.......... XD but she went into my room and stole my logos..... ^^

[ChristmasHampers]

This is cute, but in the first place, why would you want to know your gift in advance, why wait till you open it. besides, that's what gift giving is all about, showing appreciation and surprises. LOL!!

[siege engines ahoy]

wow, a conversation on instructables. . . thats like when im in my bedroom, and my mom is in the kitchen and she calls me on her cell. . . O.o

[zack247]

one thing i do is study the box or container of everything on my christmas list, and then look at the presents and sort everything into what it looks like it would fit in. example, a nintendo ds game + granola bars box + wrapping paper. i know that a nds game fits into a granola bars box and i wanted a ds game. this means that's probably what it is

i like ur username.          BOOM!

My parents figured out that i am smart enough to know what the shape of a wrapped up video game is so now i get them in medium-large boxes :D

[FrozenStar]

 Some more tips:

- Study DVD, CD, Blu-Ray, PSP, Xbox, DS, and PS3 disk boxes by closing your eyes and feeling them. Then get your wrapped present and feel that shape too. You can usually tell if its one of those things by just feeling.

- Weigh the wrapped gift and then search all of the items that were on your list on google for their weights... the wrapped gift should be slightly heavier than the weight that you found on google.

- If the box is a standard 6-sided box, measure the height, width, and length of your wrapped gift. search google for the dimensions  of everything on your list and see if it corresponds with the product dimensions.

- Check under your parents bed, in their closet, and other places along those lines. Sometimes you can find unwrapped presents.

If you want to go really hardcore with this:

- Go onto Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, etc. on whatever computer your parents use and if your logged on with your parents account, you can find your recently purchased items, this is a little bit cheap, but it can still be tricky sometimes.

If you want to go all out!:

- check credit card bills and receipts.

hope this helped!

well there was this medium sized present under my tree, and it turned out to be a gift card, with a big box, and duct tape to way it down so I wouldn't guess it!

[spiritwolf7984]

I can Counter nearly all of this

1) Put it into a large box and put a rock in to and wrap the present in a seperate box (Squishing = Bad)

2) Large Box

3) Cover the box in ducktape and then wrapping paper so if you try to look in DUCKTAPE :3

4) Lie About when you bought it

5)If someone trys these I take a random box and wrap it in Thick Metal wire put a rock inside hide the real present take all the wirecutters and put them in the box to and Laugh after 30 min they get the box open and find wirecutters.

then I give them there present

These are great unless u engage in Presesnt Warfare

my parents bought a storage unit out of town where they put my gifts and hide the keys to get in

[Tammy93]

The method i use is to unwrap the present the way it has been wrapped take a sneak peak then wrap it up again

[greigy10]

what i do is cut a little bit of the wrapping just enough to see inside and then get the same sort of wrapping paper and stick it back down.

[mg0930mg]

My dad locks them in a storage room in the basement, might have to use a lockpick.HEHE.

[lotrsam11]

This is a great instructable! =D
Thanks for making me laugh!

[scienceboy63]

my uncle once took a 2'X2'X2' box and put a ton of smaller boxes in each other and it ended up being a carving a a bear about the size of a dime

[Spectrace]

or you can be suspicious without knowing you know what your parents got you. for example, i was talking about the new Ratchet & Clank PS3 game to my mom the day i played the demo at target. then like 1 or 2 days later my mom asks "what was that game you were talking about the other day" and when i said R&C she wrote it down on a piece of paper. then you know thats something theyre deffinately going to get you. (i kinda found it sort of hidden too, thats how i know im getting it hehe) I know im getting a ps3 for christmas too cuz i kinda found that too wrapped in 2 gamestop bags.

[bounty1012]

Thats like what I did too: I was at walmart and I saw timesplitters future perfect and I said that is a cool game in front of my dad and He got it for me lol

[bounty1012]

has anybody seen the pops commercial where the girl goes out in the garage for her birthday and the paper is shaped like a car and she is really excited but when she pulls out the paper its a box of pops cereal lol

[Obsessive]

My mom always used to put presents in larger boxes than necessary and tape small/rattling gifts to the inside. In addition, she never put the presents out until a day after, arranged them so it would be impossible to grab one without crashing a pile or the picture perfect setup that she photographed after setting, and would always give me the following answers to questions:

-Mom, what did you get me?

"Something good."

-Can you give me a hint?

"Its something you'll like."

-Can I open one early?

"Sure."
At this point, she had pre-wrapped something stupid like an eraser or something she took from my room for every time I asked.

Shes impossible...
Great at keeping the presents secret though.
It was like trying to get through airport security with a Duct-tape shut Microwave in a Duffel bag.
