yo if u got a bean bag it works well to store your buds in (after you put them in a ziploc of course) and i bet you could hide the bowl in there too with no smell. I know my bean bag has a zipper and i shove the shit in the middle and take it out when i need it. I've never had any trouble but my parents aren't nosey plus my room smells bad anyway so it overpowers any trace of the herb.
