Tired of wrapping gifts late into the night? How about setting up a temporary gift and mailing station this season to help avoid or eliminate those late night sessions?
1) Shop your house and find all those supplies you bought last season at the end of year sale. Here’s what you will need…
- Wrapping paper
- Tissue paper
- Gift bags
- Gift boxes
- Cellophane and packing tape
- Ribbon and embellishments
- Sharp scissors
- Writing utensils
2) Find a suitable location for your wrapping station. Preferably a room with good lighting and a door that you can lock. You will need a table, desk or any decent size flat surface for your station. A 4′ or 6′ folding craft table is a great option because it can be stored away when not in use for the holidays.
3) Now it’s time to set up your station! Your rolls of wrapping paper can be collected in a vertical gift wrap organizer next to your table. Ribbons and embellishments can be placed in baskets and containers on top of your table. Scissors, pens and colorful markers can be gathered in a festive Christmas cup or jar. Tissue paper and gift boxes can be stored in a desk top file organizer for easy accessibility and color selection. Gift bags can be hung on the wall above the table using removable Command Hooks.
Helpful tip: Consider choosing 1-3 colors of wrapping and tissue paper that can be used for any occasion to avoid having to purchase and store several rolls of wrapping throughout the year.
