Christmas Clues

My daughter is getting a very special gift tomorrow - something she's been asking for for months (and has saved up a good percentage of the cost herself). Of course, we can't just make it easy on her and give it to her directly! Instead, I made up a series of clues for a scavenger hunt. Can you figure out where I've hidden her present?

Clue 1
No money here, instead the first 
    of many clues, widely dispersed
Around the house, so you must look 
    for somewhere Mommy hates to cook

Clue 2
Excellent! You found this one! 
    But we’re not even close to done
Next you’ll go where blue and red 
    aliens support your head

Clue 3
Back downstairs, the smallest room. 
    Your clue is hidden in the gloom
Inside a tube of brown and white. 
    You use it every day and night.

Clue 4
Hurry now, there’s just one more! 
    You’re looking for a little drawer
Open it, inside you’ll find 
    a hundred sheets, neatly aligned

Clue 5
Congrats! You’ve found the final clue. 
    There’s just one thing that’s left to do.
Pick each bold letter, then be wise. 
    Unscramble them to find your prize!
