Are you a peeker?

No. I never wanted to see presents I was getting before getting it. Ironically I don't really like surprises either so it doesn't really make any sense. But I just think it ruins christmas to know what you're getting before you were going to get it. It just seems to ruin the spirit.

i was never a peeker of gifts ! i think because when we we're growing up, we usually only got one gift at xmas and the like. so, if we peeked we wouldn't have, had a surprise for xmas etc. so, i have never ever peeked, preferring to be surprised instead, even to this day ! but, i did have one child that peeked and one that didn't, but the hubby is the worst. because he always looks at his gifts, all wrapped up nice & pretty etc. and he sits there, thinks about whats in the box and guesses ! and the bad part is 99% of the time he's correct which kills me...lol but what i find even more annoying then peekers...are those who have a surprise for you, and they get so excited about it, that they wanna tell you what the surprise is and keep naggin' at ya, to get you to break down so they can give it to you ! it's like they can't wait, which i kind of understand but to give a gift early etc..is not my style as i'd prefer to see they're face on the day the surprise was given for !

i can say that i am a peeker as well... but not to the extent to roam the whole house and forcing my hubby to tell me what he has for me... i like surprises as well... so i prefer to wait for the perfect time for him to give the gift to me and it is more surprising rather than knowing it before hand...

I am not a peeker. I rather wait until christmas. Plus I don't go around looking for presents in the house. I never met anyone who says they are a peeker.

I used to be a peeker when I was a kid. Even though I knew that the surprise wouldn't be as good when I finally opened my gifts, I couldn't help myself. I used to split the tape, right on the seam so you couldn't tell. Then I would press a new piece really hard over the old piece. You couldn't tell that it had ever been opened. And nobody knew I was doing it, so they were never closely inspected anyway. Now I would rather wait for the big day to find out! Of course, my husband wants to give me my gifts as soon as he buys them! He bugs me every day until Christmas because he wants me to open them right away. I don't give in and it drives him crazy.

Oh man, I've done this every year since I was old enough to. I've done the tape fix, the pre-Thanksgiving searches, everything. I'm pretty sure I've got it down now. Know exactly where to look!

Shame on you! Shame on you! You are like a big kid! But hey aren't we all big kids when it comes to Christmas, I'm 36 and I still love Christmas as much as I did when I was a kid, but even I don't sneak peeks at my pressies and that's the truth! Least you are honest about it tho' most would say NEVER and I bet they do.

I was when i was young but now i just bother people saying stuff like what did ya get me LOL I normally check out the boxes picl them up and things like that I get all excited knowing someone got me something

You are so like my husband!! I sympathize with your husband as it is so annoying and kind of ruins it for me! I like the surprise for myself and others! My husband tends to go one step further and has in the past not been able to keep my gift from him a secret...He can't resist spilling the beans and I really don't want to konow as I want to open it! Why wrap it if the person knows what it is? What a waste, it is not a gift then!

I can remember at one time I was snoopy but not anymore. If I knew there was something for me in a bag accross the room I would never bother to spoil the surprize now. When I was younger Oh Yes you better believe it, but now No.

ohhhh but I have to fight that temptation off! I am just like you in having the urge, the compulsion!!!! to PEEK! however, it has been easier the last few years to not peek, given my beloved has not seen fit to buy me gifts, lol.

I really am not much of a gift person. I don't like people spending their money on me and I have so little to spend on others. Our family keeps the gifts really pretty simple. It is fun to be surprised. If i were living with someone like you, I would find a place outside of the home to stash your gifts. I'd probably find humour in just torchering you with curiosity.

When I was little I used to try to be a peeker. I wasn't any good at it. Now I just wait and let what comes be a surprise!

Well, i have to say no. I love surprises. Sure, the temptation is there, but.... Actually, I have to shop for myself most of the time, as my partner never knows what to get me. That's cool, with the number of kids we have, by christmas day, I've forgotten any way! lol.

Of course I am..lol usually only at Christmas time though. I know it is bad thing to do but I just can't seem to help myself. I just get so excited about them like I am a kid well I still am at heart I guess even though I am 33 this year. We used a glue stick to do the packages with it leaves cleaner lines then the tape and easier for the kids to rip into on the big day. My husband has resorted to either not shopping till the last minute or leaving them at his brothers house. But I usually still peek as soon as they are brought in..They are usually gifts for the house though stuff needed for the house that I wanted. Clothes is not really something he gets for me since he never ever gets the right size..lol This year I am not real excited about Christmas because I know money is going to me really tight and we will probably barely be able to get the kids a few gifts so If I get something this year I will be surprised..

I go through the house looking for my Christmas present, and when it is under the tree, I pick up what it is and try to guess, "Hmmm not large enough to be a Cuisinart" "It could be a dVD set. Oh maybe it's Battlestar Galatica" etc. and I go and compare it to the other sets we have. I turn it upside down and try to think if it is heavy enough. But sometimes it is from one of my sons, or an extra present and the real one comes in later.

I am a total peeker!! I can't stand the suspence of not knowing what is in the packages!! I have never been caught, I will open the package a little and then re-tape is too so no one knows =)

I used to be a peeker, or a person who would literally beg someone to tell me what a gift was if they knew. Now I'm not as I enjoy the surprise! PurpleTeddyBear.

i don't care about what i get for christmas so i don't bother looking my birthday is christmas eve and my daughters birthday is christmas day so i'm usuall helping my daughter open her birthday presents

I am most definitely NOT a peeker. I would much rather be surprised when Christmas gets here. I love the anticipation of having all the presents under the tree and not knowing what's in them until Christmas morning when I open them. My husband can bring something home, not wrapped yet, and leave it in our room, just in the shopping bag...he just has to say that it is part of my Christmas, and he KNOWS that I won't go near it.
