♦Buy rolls of gift wrap paper in solid colors or simple
patterns (e.g. plaid, stripes) in neutral colors like red, blue, green, silver
and gold. Those colors work for multiple holidays and occasions ranging from
Christmas to weddings to graduations.
♦Store all wrapping paper, bows, scissors, tape, gift tags,
pens, gift bags and tissue paper together year-round. Many stores sell gift wrap storage
centers or gift wrap organizers
specifically for this usage but
you can use other types of storage bins too.
♦For instance, discount retailers and organizing stores sell
long rectangular bins that are a couple inches deep and on wheels. It's
under-the-bed storage and it's the perfect place to keep your gift wrap center
handy but hidden.
♦Here's a 37 quart plastic box (no wheels on this one) from
Stacks and Stacks that you can store under the bed and fill with gift wrap
paper:
Holiday Gift Wrap Box Set of 2
 from
Stacks and Stacks
♦Iris sells a clear
Underbed Storage Box With Wheels, also from Stacks and
Stacks.
♦Or
Taylor Gifts has a
Portable Gift Wrap Center. It's comprised of four corrugated cardboard
drawers with a section behind the drawers to hold gift wrap rolls vertically.
Carry it room to room by its handle. These types of cardboard drawers and gift
wrap organizers are very sturdy and will last for many years under normal usage
conditions (I've owned two different ones for 10+ years and they're still in
great shape). Put your cardboard gift wrap center in a bedroom closet or keep it
handy for year-round holidays in another corner of your home.
