Organized Gift Wrap Essentials
Organized gift bags make wrapping presents a breeze! These multipurpose bins are a great way to organize them by season or type.
Wrapping gifts ANY time of year can be frustrating if you can’t find the right supplies when you need them. Kids “borrow’ the scissors and the tape gets “misplaced” and the ribbon gets permanently and accidentally moved to another room.
Or you just see a jumbled pile of paper, ribbon, boxes, and bags which not only kills the gift wrapping mood, it adds another step to the process you didn’t have time for.
Let’s get all of your gift wrapping essentials organized so that they are ready for you any time you to wrap a gift. Whether you’re in charge of Santa’s workshop or wrapping your best friend’s birthday gift, you need a simple solution to keep your gift wrap supplies organized that’s easy to maintain.
Get an extra pair of scissors just for gift wrapping. LABEL IT “gift wrapping” and if they get “stolen” the culprit will know where they really belong.
Use a desk tape dispenser so you can get a piece of tape with one hand.
Stock up on tape refills so you’re not without it when you really need it
Gather & store your supplies together in a closet or cabinet. This way you save time eliminating having to search high and low for scissors, tape, ribbon, paper, boxes, etc.
Use a cart for all of the supplies if you have the space, . That way you can roll it out when you need it and put it away when you’re done.
I like having a signature look for my wrapped packages. I stock up on different colors of grosgrain and velvet ribbon for different occasions. If you have a strand of navy ribbon, most likely I’ve given you a gift.
Keep a stash of brown and white Kraft paper on hand for wrapping gifts of all seasons. Use your simple ribbon to tie a pretty bow and you’re done!
Organize your gift bags by occasion in multipurpose bins if you have a variety. Otherwise, keep Christmas bags separate because you only use them once a year. I like to separate wine bags from the others, too, so I can grab them easily for a hostess gift.
Keep gift enclosure cards with your gift wrap so all of your gift wrap essentials are together. Order pretty ones to add the perfect finishing touch!
The Elfa gift wrap cart is a great option if you have the space.
You can get the gift wrap attachment and put it on a rolling cart to make your own budget friendly gift wrap cart.
