Save time and ensure perfect presentation by storing all your wrapping supplies in one accessible place. Look online or in the organization section of your favorite retail store for "Gift Wrap Stations" that you can hang over the door or in a closet-or create your own using an under-the-bed tote or large plastic bin.

Once you've chosen the right container for your needs and space, stock it up with all the essentials using this helpful shopping list:

___ wrapping paper

___ tissue paper

___ gift bags

___ bows

___ ribbon spools

___ raffia

___ gift tags

___ stickers

___ double-sided tape

___ scissors

___ paper cutter

___ ribbon curler

___ shrink wrap

___ markers/pens

Check your club warehouse store or party store for a "bag of bags" that contains an assortment of gift bags in various sizes.

If you have a greeting card organizer with blank cards for every occasion, be sure to store it nearby.

If space allows, keep some creative containers, like round tins, faux-takeout cartons, wicker baskets and organza bags on hand. Buy them new at a party store, or recycle what's been given to you.
