So I've ordered the girlfriend a 6ft wooden giraffe off of e-bay as a Christmas present and it arrives tomorrow. I've just realised though that storage could be an issue! It's not like I can put it on top of the wardrobe or under the bed is it 🙄

The garage isn't messy enough the hide it in and she regularly goes up in to the loft. Can't store it at parents either so I'm looking for some ideas?

The funnier the better TBH 😆

In your underwear. If a giraffe is your idea of a great Christmas gift it's unlikely she'll be looking in there very soon.

Under the bed in the spare room?

I once tried to store a deadone in my neighbour's garden. He said, "you can't leave that lyin' there!"

I said, "It's not a lion, it's a giraffe."

Is it not split in two halves?
We have one we got in France about 10 years ago and it's neck is split where it meets the body and attaches with a big dowel

I would have thought that an empty glider trailer is the ideal place to covertly store a giraffe.

If she doesn't like it then it's not the end of the world and she'll see the funny side of it. She has actually mentioned that she'd like one in the not too distant past so not worried to be honest.

Could you not have bought her something a little smaller? A rabbit, perhaps?

Couldn't you just put it in the giraffe closet?

Just keep it in the wet room with all the other giraffes. She won't notice one extra unless it does this:

Train it to lie flat and still on the living room floor. Then tell her that because you love her, you've bought her a giraffe skin rug.

[here's the genius bit]

She'll hate it. But convince her to stick with it for a couple of months and see if it grows on her. It won't, who in their right mind wants a giraffe skin rug!! So then, to show how much you listen to her and care for her wishes, 'get rid of' the giraffe skin rug on Christmas eve.

Then give her a giraffe on Christmas Day. She won't suspect a thing!

Present hidden, and a chance to really show her how much you listen to her in one go.

Alternatively, if she's like my wife hide it in the cupboard where the hoover and ironing board are kept. She'll never see it.

All I can suggest is an elaborate bow tied around its neck.

I was thinking of a very long kipper tie for it to hide behind and stand it in the corner!

Just stick it behind a tree in the garden. No-one in their right mind is going to notice a giraffe in the garden, it just wouldn't make sense.

It's what I call the presents you open after you've had xmas dinner.

Main presents in the morning and tree presents in the afternoon/early evening. It's all very civilized!

You need a scarf or a carafe to hide a giraffe.

(At least that's what Dr Zeus said)

Giraffes are pretty easy to hide, aren't they?

How does carafe fit in with ties and scarves?

A cravat maybe, but not a carafe - unless you were planning to get your other half so pissed that she didn't notice the giraffe?

Hide it behind your penis-beaker, it's not like you'll be needing it any more...

do you know how difficult it is to find words that rhyme with giraffe so you can put a dr zeus style sentence together so you can have a giraffe laugh?

Don't go posting pics of trees and pretending there's a giraffe in there somewhere. I know what you're up to, I'll stare at it for ages trying to see it and then a zombie giraffe or something will flash up and I'll shit my pants.

Oh bugger - looks like I've been caught out trying (and failing) to be a smart-arse! 😳

A clear acacia posting without thinking you will never see.

Now I'm trying to get some cred back with giraffe-based punning again...........

Go on Si, get another one so they can play leapfrog.

Simples....
Stand it in the corner of the living room, where you normally put the Christmas tree.
Decorate it as you would said tree et-voila - hidden in plain sight 🙂

If the one jumping slips then the bottom one is going to get the shock of its life!!!

Hiding them will then be the least of my worries as i don't think the local vets can treat Native African animals!! 😯

Take it to your work and lean it up in the corner. No-one will notice.
