Ep 041: Wrapping Station Organization

Whether gifts are your love language year round or just for the holidays, I suggest ways you can have an organized wrapping station anywhere in your space!    On this episode, I start with sharing some holiday themes we’ve used and encourage picking wrapping paper and gift bags to coordinate with any themes you may choose for your upcoming holidays or special occasions. This will allow your beautifully wrapped gifts to become part of your decor!    When you have a designated space in your home for wrapping presents, you can shop ahead and have gifts awaiting every occasion, or grab those last minute deals and wrap them thoughtfully and quickly on-the-go!    No matter how large or small your space, it’s possible to create an organized wrapping station in a closet, cabinet, drawer, door, wall, or even in the trunk of your car! Having proper organizers like drawer dividers, over-the-door hangers, moveable wall mounts with baskets of all sizes, under-the-bed containers, or an umbrella stand to hold all those long rolls of paper in place is the key to wrapping station organization.    There you can include some additional accessories like tape dispensers for your wrist, scissors and wrapping paper cutters, double-sided tape, gift toppers, gift cards, ribbons, bows, tags, batteries, and pens and markers to personalize all your fun surprises!    Highlights from this episode: {5:37} Having a theme for your holiday gift wrapping {9:10} Shopping for smaller gifts all year round to take the pressure off at the holidays {10:02} Creating a space at home to store gifts until they’re ready for wrapping {10:30} What a socially distanced holiday looks like when planning your shopping {12:19} Using over the door organizers {14:44} Extras to add to your wrapping station {17:27} How wrapping station organization can be all year round {19:19} Putting together a basket of gift toppers {23:33} Putting thought into how your gifts are wrapped no matter the cost {25:39} How to organize your wrapping paper rolls {29:40} Using rods for ribbons and paper Mentioned on this episode:   Kid gift and activity ideas to keep them busy while you wrap, like Mad Matter, Kinetic Sand, and activity trays to contain the mess while they create.
