Do you struggle to find all of your gift wrapping supplies every year? Or, maybe they’re all in one bin but it’s a jumbled mess? Do you wrap each gift as you shop or wait until the last minute to wrap everything? Are you are the meticulous person who hand crafts your own wrapping paper and gift tags or the “throw it into a gift bag and go” person?

Four keys to organizing your gift wrap supplies:

• Keep all of your supplies in one spot – whether they are for Christmas or other occasions
• Store in a container that creates a defined amount of space & don’t allow the supplies to “outgrow” the space you’ve defined
• Throw away or donate the excess
• Store them in an easy-to-access manner and location

The gift wrap work station from the Container Store is the ideal gift wrap storage solution! It holds six rolls of wrapping paper on one side and all of the other supplies needed on the other side (tape, scissors, tags, bags, ribbon, etc.). It comes with a separate mesh bag to protect fragile bows from getting smashed. The center stands alone in a tripod fashion (as pictured above) and is able to fold flat for storage. There is a hook on top that allows you to hang it from a closet rod for storage. My favorite feature are the black C hooks on the gift wrap side. These swivel out to allow a roll of wrapping paper to be used at table height – brilliant! You can purchase this item online at: The Container Store.

Another one of my favorite gift wrap solutions is the Elfa gift wrap cart:
