My parents had to use false boxes (so I couldn't just "peek" and numbered gifts, so nobody but my mother with her master list would know who was getting which present.
Since I couldn't figure out what was in the box simply by peeking, I got pretty good at unwrapping the entire gift, rewrapping it with new paper, and then sticking the bow/labels back on.
