15 Smart Ways to Organize Your Holiday Gift Wrapping Supplies

You can’t wrap presents without a portable ribbon station. You just can’t.

The stress of gift-giving should end as soon as you find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. Wrapping presents? Well, that should be the fun part. Before you bust out your ribbon and bows this holiday, check out these organizers that’ll save space, time, and even a little stress. Then, take a look at these seriously impressive gift wrapping ideas for inspiration.

Set Up a Portable Ribbon Station

Sort ribbon by color in a decorative box. The shallower the box, the easier it is to see your selection.

Keep Wrapping Paper Rolled

Swap tape, paper clips, or rubber bands for reclosable fasteners. Here’s why: Not only do they adjust as the rolls shrink but they also don’t rip the pretty paper.

Make a Work Station

Every wrapping paper station needs an umbrella holder to hold wrapping paper, paper towel holders to corral ribbon spools, and a weighted tape dispenser for Insta-worthy gift wrapping.

Create a Christmas Cart

Just imagine the elves in the North Pole wheeling around one of these beauties. It seems likely, doesn’t it? Give off Buddy the Elf vibes by creating a one-stop shop with all of the gift-giving essentials.

Flip a Stool Over

One stool, so many uses! Repurpose an old (or seriously cheap!) stool to help keep your wrapping paper and supplies tidy. Use the footrest rungs to hang tape, scissors, and tissue paper.

Use a Garment Bag

Wrapping paper clutter has a way of getting out of control. When you need to stash supplies out of the way, add a hanger to a garment bag and tuck it into your closet until your next wrapping session.

Make Your Supplies Travel-Friendly

A plastic tote with a handle means you can wrap in any room in your house — or even grab your bin and go to a friend’s for a wrapping party. Suddenly, the possibilities are endless (and way more fun).

Repurpose Mason Jars

We’re sure we don’t have to convince you about this one — after all, these glass jars are cute and useful. Keep gold pens in one, scissors in another … you get the picture.

Hang Rolls Out of the Way

Use a towel bar with curtain clips to stash your rolls of wrapping paper in the back of your closet. Since the clips attach around the roll, the end of your paper won’t unravel.

Enlist a Peg Board

Cafe rods attached to peg boards hold your go-to paper for the season right at eye level — so you can pull and tear from your chair. After the holiday wraps up, use your pegboard to hold other essentials during the remainder of the year.
