5 Ways to Hide Jewelry Presents on a Christmas Tree

Use one of the methods to plan out your holiday surprise, or use the ideas to come up with a plan of your own.

When you shop for tree ornaments, purchase a few ornament balls that open up. The balls may be clear or colored and should have plenty of space to store a new piece of jewelry. You can place the jewelry inside the ornament and hang it up days before Christmas.

On Christmas morning, you can pull down the ornament and give the gift to a loved one. They will be surprised to see the gift that was hidden in there all along.

Keep your jewelry in an obvious yet hard to find location on the top of the tree. Whether you top your tree with an angel or a star, the pointed area presents an ideal way to display necklaces. On Christmas Eve, you can hang the piece of jewelry right on top of the tree, and on Christmas morning, wait and see how long until your loved one notices the hanging gift.

As you hang the necklace, make sure the jewelry stays secure and will not fall down. You may want to use a small clip on the back part to help secure the necklace into place. With the lights turned on at the top of the tree, the necklace with reflect light and create a nice visual as it stands out as the focal point.

Turn your jewelry purchase into a fun scavenger hunt on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. The end point of the scavenger hunt will have the person find the jewelry box right in the center of the tree. Start off the hunt with a small wrapped present that includes the first clue.

The clue can lead the person to a stocking, where another clue is stuffed inside. Continue clues, sending the person all around the house until they reach the tree and finally retrieve the present. The amount of clues depends on the hiding spaces and how long you want the game to go on. You could even include smaller presents with each of the clues you give.

The shiny colors of a ring or bracelet will blend in nicely with a puffy piece of metallic tinsel. Purchase a string of tinsel to match the color of the jewelry. For example, if you purchase a gold ring, then you can purchase gold tinsel. Thread the tinsel through the jewelry and leave it hanging up on the tree.

On Christmas morning, you can wait and see if the person discovers the jewelry or have them hunt through the tree to find their special present.

If you plan to propose Christmas morning, you can use the tree to hide the engagement ring until the time is right. Keep the ring box stuffed near the bottom of the tree. As you bring your loved one over to the tree, you can get down on one knee, reach inside the tree, and pull out the ring.

You should know precisely where the ring box is located within the tree so you don’t fumble around or fail to locate the ring. Practice a couple times to master the move and create a smooth transition for when you actually propose.
