Today I've been sorting and tossing wrapping paper, gift bags and ribbons (a mission from Flylady). Today's the day to put all your wrapping paper away. Tell us how you store your wrapping items and what tricks you have for gift wrapping.
I have three wrapping paper containers. Not that they are all full.
One is wrapping paper on a tube, it's in a stand up plastic container that contains scissors, tape and any shipping items like brown paper and packing tape. It contains all different Holiday paper if is on a tube and is long. Also it has my basket shrink paper.
My second plastic box is for Christmas items like gift bags, tags, ribbon, tape, package decorations or small ornaments that I can use to decorate a gift are all here. Included are my tissue paper if it's related to Christmas, red, green, gold or Christmas print. I also includes tape and scissors.
My Other Holiday plastic box is for any other paper and gift bags. I have more tissue paper here. Well, I would have if I had any. Tissue paper is on my list to buy this year. And of course I have tape and scissors. I also keep small empty boxes in this container since it has more room.
Both these last two boxes are long with two trays that will hold small items. They would fit under a bed but I have them in my storage area where I can get them fast. Anytime I have a gift to wrap I know exactly which container to grab. Everything is there to wrap a gift so I don't have to run around finding scissors or tape or a gift card.
Today is a good day to organize your wrapping paper. Make a list of what you will need for the coming year. It's a great time to buy on sale. (Even if you read this in June it's still a good day to organize your wrapper paper!)
I always try to pick up plain colored paper. My favorite to buy is white. It can be used for any type of gift. I've not been able to find much white the last two years. I'm hoping to see some this year.
