How do your store your gift wrapping supplies?
I used to keep my gift bags, bows, tags and odd papers in this red organizer bag. The cardboard box held all the tissue paper that I had left over from when I had a store years ago. Any long rolls of wrapping paper were just stored beside them in the closet I had stuck them in.
Since I was in “clean up mode” after the holidays, I decided to come up with a better system for my gift wrapping supplies. My old system worked pretty well for the most part, but I didn’t find the fabric organizer very sturdy and it had a few holes in it. I also didn’t know what I had because it was all hidden away in the organizer pockets.
First, I purged all my gift wrap related things...
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have a hard time throwing away perfectly good stuff. It could still be used, right? Anything ripped, broken or just plain worn out are no-brainers – into the trash or recycling bin they go.
Then I had to ask, how many of BLANK do I really need? Over the years I have accumulated an excessive amount of gift bags for wine bottles. Thank you to everyone who gave me wine over the years. 
However, it occurred to me that I don’t give wine all that often so I got rid of all the wine bags except one which can be used any time.
Next, I found these cute bins to put my gift wrapping stuff in...
I got these at Homesense in the kid section. They are sometimes a little cheaper in that section.
The bags were then organized by type and size. I re-purposed the little red case from my old organizer bag.and kept my bows in it. There was even a little space to stick my gift wrap rolls in. A few gift boxes also found a home in the largest bin.
Making a gift wrap "center"...
I decided to organize my gift wrap supplies with my cards and gifts in my extra closet. Does anyone else buy gifts throughout the year,in advance of when you need them? I don’t do a lot of advance gift shopping but if I happen to see something I think someone will like for an upcoming birthday or something, and especially if it’s a good deal, I will get it. But where to keep everything? I re-purposed some baskets I already had, to corral smaller items together and they will live on the top shelf in my closet.
I also brought my file box for cards to keep with the gift wrap stuff in the closet. It made sense to me because you give cards too, sometimes with a gift.
