Best way to **secretly** purchase christmas gifts?

[devo]

How do you guys secretly purchase christmas gifts?

I could easily buy all my gifts rn but I my card activity is visible to my parents and they can see exactly what I bought.. I have cash but no idea how I would get to the store to purchase gift cards or the gift itself without their knowledge?

Even after I order the gift or purchase it, how do I sneak it into the house haha

thanks

Say you're hanging out with friends and buy their stuff. Come home with a couple of shopping bags and fucking naruto run to your room and hide their gifts.

Ask your buddy to buy the gift for ya and pay him using your card. Tell your parents you’re paying him back for money you owe him or smtg

Just tell them the truth! You're going out to buy gifts with cash because your card activity is visible to them. It's a reasonable thing to do, they'll certainly understand.

Hahaha fair point. I'm just pointing out that it doesn't need to be a secret, it's not unreasonable to want to go out and buy christmas presents

Well, the point isn't that it's "unreasonable;" the point is that he wants to surprise his parents/friends.

Use paypal gifts. Use privacy.com if you have to if you need temporary cards to utilize (Note: you will have to fill your accounts)

the thread title aside, absolutely horrible that ur parents track your card activity, i'd hate it if my parents did that

Go to an ATM and pull out some cash. If they ask why, tell them the truth, that it’s for presents. If you need a ride, ask a friend or Uber to the store and back.

It’s called responsible parenting.

update: i managed to order my stuff on amazon

i told my mom to drive me to the walmart so i can buy some snacks for school (lucky for me it was raining so she said she would stay in the car while i get my stuff)

walked in, grabbed some random snacks i wanted
made two transactions just in case she wanted the receipt (paid for the card in cash)
put the card in my pocket and left with my poptarts
as soon as i got home, ordered the stuff on amazon!

Purchase off of a large site like amazon, to my knowledge on a log for debit/credit cards it doesn't say specifically what was bought. Just the site it was bought off of and how much it was. Say you bought a new keyboard or something they will believe/that you are interested in

Some teens have no choice. In order to make a bank account, a parent has to co-sign giving them access to it as well. This was the case for me when I first made my account. My parents weren't the type to check constantly, which I would agree is an invasion of privacy, but they had the option to check if they deemed so necessary.

I was also going to suggest Privacy.com but then saw that someone had already done it, and that you had already found your solution!

My parents co-signed but they can’t check my activity
