totally random - but help!
starting to "nest", and our storage system for gift wrap stuff (bags, tissue paper and boxes are the biggest culprit) is not working! right now we store bags inside of bags, but they are taking up a lot of space. there has to be a better way.

I'd love to move these to the basement to get them out of sight, but would need to put them in some container.

can someone recommend a system?

thanks!

The only thing I have a lot of is Christmas wrap, and I keep that up in the attic in a large garbage bag.
The rest of the stuff (tissue, ribbon, some boxes ) is in a plastic bin that I can easily access.

I buy as needed so as not to have to store it.

I have a couple of what was posted above. I got them at BBB. I used to use a hard plastic one, but I didn't love it.

i will be putting them in the basement, on the wall will go generic gift wrap with a counter, or table directly underneath to wrap. bows will be in containers and bags will be hung on the wall with a nail or in containers separated by size of bags.

We have a couple of long plastic bins that fit wrapping paper. We also keep the gift bags and ribbons in the same type of bin. We keep the bins on a work bench shelf in the basement

I have a plastic container made specifically for rolls of wrapping paper. Then i have a set of plastic drawers for the rest. The largest bottom drawer has all my bags, one small drawer has tissue paper and the other has ribbons, bows, and gift tags. I also try to be better about not saving everything and not buying new when I have plenty to choose from.

The drawers are similar to this one but there's only one large drawer. 4-Drawer Storage Cart with Organizer Top, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00447NWFK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6hGczbNDT7ZP2

I have a storage container from the Container store and I put all my wrapping paper and tissue paper in there. I have 2 large reusable tote bags and I store one with boxes and one with bags. I scaled down bc I used to have SO much of both. I got rid of a ton and now only keep whatever fits in those bags.
