Here we are, 3 days before Christmas, and most of us are surrounded by stacks of gifts that are in need of wrapping. Perhaps this is the only time of year you find yourself knee-deep in wrapping paper rolls, gift tags, and bows. For many of us, we find ourselves frequently accessing the gift wrap supplies throughout the year for wrapping birthday gifts, hostess gifts, Mother’s and Father’s Day gifts and graduation gifts.
Whether you use gift wrap supplies regularly or once a year, having an organized storage solution in place for these supplies will enable you to complete the task of gift wrapping as painlessly as possible. Here are some common types of solutions to consider if you on a mission to organize your gift wrap supplies this year…
Rolling Carts
Storing your gift wrap and accessories in a rolling cart enables you to roll it out to the location you want to use it (in front of the t.v. is a great spot for completing a marathon wrapping session), and then easily store it back in a corner of your room or in your closet when not in use.
Vertical Storage Solutions
In previous blog posts, I’ve emphasized the importance utilizing vertical space in your home to increase storage space, particularly the back of your doors. Consider installing a door storage solution such as the one pictured below in a guest room, craft room, or even in your home office.
This hanging gift wrap storage station is another storage option that takes advantage of vertical space…within your closet. It offers the benefit of portability as well.
Under-the-Bed Storage Solutions
Another common place to stow away gift wrap materials is under the bed. The shape of gift wrap rolls (small and long) make them great candidates for under-the-bed storage. If this particular storage area of your home has been under-utilized, you may want to use an under-the-bed storage tote for corralling your rolls of gift wrap, as well as ribbon and gift tags.
