It’s beginning to
look a lot like WRAPPING PAPER SEASON! You know what I’m taking about: the cute
reindeer prints, the embellished snowflakes, and golden swirls that have
already started popping up in every store. No gift is complete without
beautiful wrapping. It is my experience that giving gifts is a lot less
stressful when your life and home feel organized and put together. The stress
of having to find the right box, wrapping paper, ribbon, and gift tags can be
overwhelming, especially when trying to juggle the extra responsibilities the
season brings.
Keep your wrapping
station tidy with this guide on wrapping paper storage (apply year-round):
· Store gift bags within gift bags.
Think Russian nesting dolls! It’s an easy storage concept that allows you to
easily coordinate the right gifts for the right size. If you have the space
available, I also like to store gift bags flat in a drawer or a flat bin if this
is more functional for your space.
· If you don’t already have one, pick
up a tall bin to store those beautiful rolls. Nothing’s worse than pulling out
a torn or wrinkled roll due to improper storage.
· Store ribbon in an easily-accessible
bin—a shallow one may be best. Spools of ribbon stack easily side by side for
maximum visibility. Use pins to tack down the ends of your ribbon so that no
unraveling occurs while in storage.
· Store tissue in a flat bin that tucks
and stacks nicely in a holiday storage closet.
The holidays
may become overwhelming if you don’t start planning in advance, so set up your
wrapping paper station in advance so you can enjoy the process of wrapping and
decorating your gifts this season.

boxes.
