With our big family of 21 (with our six grown children, four sons-in-law, and nine grandkids!), there are always gifts to wrap! And having a bit more room in our house than we have had before, during these "empty nest" years ... I found some space in a closet a few years ago for my gift-wrapping supplies, all in one place.
And it seemed a good time of year, before all the spring festivities, to freshen up this place ... clean out the older items no longer used, and prepare for a new season. I have been following a blog in recent weeks that is encouraging link-ups on various cleaning/organizing projects, and the link-up this week is on Gift Wrap Stations ... a motivation this week for this particular project. It has been a full week, but I always have time for an organizing project or two each week ... something I love to do.
A place for gift wrap supplies ... in a closet in the room that I use for scrapbooking, and other projects. |
A supply of gift wrap ... |
In a basket above the drawers ... love to use ribbon for wrapping gifts. |
And the top drawer ... more kinds of ribbon. |
And the next drawer ... small and medium sized gift bags, and tissue wrap. The larger gift bags sit on the floor to the left of the shelf unit. |
So thankful for family and friends to whom we can show our love by giving gifts to throughout the year. And thankful for this space to store supplies ...

I have a similar gift wrapping station. It's wonderful to have and makes life so much more easier.
