Re: wrapping paper & bags

I bought one of those wrapping paper storage bins from Target but most of the paper that I have is too large to fit in it so a lot is propped up in our guest room closet.

Re: wrapping paper & bags

We got one of those wrapping paper tupperware things. It's pretty good. My parents keep them in a big box in the basement. They have a lot of room though.

I think we got it at the Home Depot, but not sure


Here's one on amazon that looks like what we have

I have one of those rubbermaid things for Christmas wrapping - got it from Ace Hardware.

I have birthday wrap and tissue and bows, etc in one from Avon - it's great. I can't find a picture online...

Re: wrapping paper & bags

holy crap - I just realized the amazon one was $80!!!!!!

I think I paid around $20 for the rubbermaid storage in Ace. No way in hell would I pay $80!!!

eta: I lied - I didn't buy it - my mom bought it for me. She's cheaper than me. I just asked her what she paid - she said it was $7 or $8 from Target!!!! I think I was looking in Ace...but then she bought me one.

Re: wrapping paper & bags

I have a large horizontal one that i got at Target years ago - i think around the holidays.
its sort of like an under the bed box, but its higher than those and so doesn't fit under the bed

it's long enough to hold tons of rolls, and had two trays that fit into the top of it that hold ribbons and bows etc.

Re: wrapping paper & bags

I keep them in a huge gift bag, of course.

Really, I do. I got a three foot tall gift bag years ago that was a really good quality. So I put all my other gift bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper, ribbons, bows, etc. in that one bag.

I have an addiction to this stuff so believe me, there's a lot! Chat Icon

I have an under the bed box on wheels that is great. I got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I also have a giant accordian folder from Hallmark for many of my gift bags.

that HAS to be a typo! No way they could sell the one pictured for $80 Chat Icon I have the same one and it was like $10-15 max

I have something like this, too, but I got it for MUCH less at BBB with a coupon around the holidays.

I actually have an amoire in my living room that i store it all in: bags, wrap, tape, ribbons, tissue paper, my special cutting thing, ribbon splicer. It works out well as it holds a lot and I can keep it semi-organized.

I keep all of the rolled paper on a shelf in my craft room so i can see what i have, gift bags are in a big basket and bows & ribbon are in another. I have a "wrapping station" in the craft room. My Christmas paper that's leftover from last year is in a plastic case from target in the attic until its time to decorate for christmas.
