Gift Wrapping Station

With the holidays upon us, everyone is busy decorating, shopping, baking, and preparing for a celebration. To prevent a last minute wrapping marathon, set up a gift-wrapping station.

1. Designate a flat surface for wrapping – a folding table set up in a bedroom, basement or seldom-used room, a counter height dresser in a guest bedroom, or a desk.

2. Store supplies near the wrapping area:

*Put rolls of wrapping paper in a trash can or tall basket.
*Store gift bags in a large, durable gift bag or a basket.
*Contain the bows in another gift bag.
*Store rolls of ribbon on a trouser hanger that has the horizontal bar that opens up. Thread the rolls through the bar, shut it & hang it from the leg brace of the table, the side of the can/basket, or in a nearby closet.
*Tags, scissors, tape, and pens can be held in a desktop organizer or stored in a dresser or desk drawer.

3. Wrap gifts as soon as possible after you get them home from the store!

Happy Wrapping!
