The Best Gift Wrapping Organizers

Buying Guide for Gift Wrapping Organizers

Why buy gift wrapping organizers?

It’s super helpful when all of our gift wrapping essentials are confined to one organized space. With dedicated pockets for ribbons, bows, tape, and scissors, you won’t have to dig through a box or bin to make sense of a cluttered mess. If you’re not a fan of traditional wrapping paper, the pockets in your organizer can be dedicated to gift bags or gift wrap alternatives that are better for the environment. And you can seamlessly access every gift wrapping essential within seconds, which is perfect if you’re wrapping a last-minute gift. Some gift wrapping organizers fit perfectly into a closet, resting neatly on a shelf or hanging from your closet organizer, while others are more portable for gift wrapping parties, PTA meetings, or charitable functions. Lastly, rolls of wrapping paper can unroll or get damaged when they’re out in the open, so putting them into an organizer just makes sense!

What should you consider in gift wrapping organizers?

• Size and Capacity: You’ll want to be sure your new gift wrapping organizer can fit all of your gift wrapping essentials. Whether you prefer to keep just a few rolls handy or you love to have lots of dedicated rolls of wrapping paper for every occasion and season, there’s a perfect wrapping paper organizer that should fit your needs.
• Pockets: Many gift wrapping organizers feature pockets that you can use for bows, ribbons, tape, scissors, cards, tags, and decorations. The number of pockets you’ll need depends on how many accessories you like to keep on hand.
• Storage Location: Another thing you may consider when choosing a gift wrapping organizer is the location in which you’d like to store it. Many people choose to store gift wrap in a closet or underneath a bed. And gift wrapping organizers are made to neatly fit into these spaces, whether they hang in a closet or have a flat profile for squeezing underneath a bed. Some even have handles and secure zippers so you can keep them in the trunk of your car if you travel or if you volunteer to wrap gifts for a charitable organization.

How do you neatly wrap a present with wrapping paper?

If you’re able, start with a square or rectangular gift box because wrapping oddly-shaped packages are far more arduous than wrapping a traditional box. And make sure to work on a flat surface. Working on a larger table is better for your back, but if you need to, you can work on a hard floor. Unwrap enough wrapping paper that it doubles the length of your present, and make sure your box is face-down. Then, fold your paper over, making a crease where your paper intersects. Tape down one side of the paper and cut off any excess from the other side. Fold and wrap the second side, then secure that with tape as well. Then, pinch down the paper on the edges of your box, creating two triangle shapes. Tape down the triangles neatly, one at a time, for a neat wrap. Finish it off with a bow, twine, or ribbon if you like, and don’t forget to add a tag.
