A gift wrap organiser/storage tube.... Someone does because it's out of stock!!

Really? My half used tubes just get shoved in the wardrobe until they're next required..

I have a gift wrap drawer. It contains rolls, packets, tissue paper and emergency card stash. Tape and scissors are stored in a smaller drawer above with pens and post-its.

I have one of them too (as well as the roll bag) Alas I don't have a space in my new house for the rolls so that has to be stored in the loft.

But I have a drawer as above, so I guess you win some, you lose some. I really want the RU box but I really don't have anywhere for it to go.

Yes, I have all my cards, wrapping paper, bags and ribbons etc all stored in bags like this. It's saved me a fortune over the years.

My wardrobe is full up so no room for the hanging shit, so to speak.

Bunnyhop1502 · 12/12/2018 20:05

OP not only do I have the wrapping paper organiser, I also have the matching tree bag, wreath bag and bauble organiser. You want Christmas storage porn, you come to Bunnyhop Xmas Grin

I store mine in the Ikea plastic bag holder, my very own 'Ikea hack'.

Betsy86 · 12/12/2018 20:11

I have a flimsy one thats falling apart now.... really want a sturdy one that holds lots..... inspired by this thread lol

canigetaliein · 12/12/2018 20:15

I have this version & actually store my decorations in a few of these.

I’m not half as organised as I wish I could be though.

oh where do I sign?

Mine are shoved neatly under the wardrobe.

hotchocolate86 · 12/12/2018 20:22

There’s a wreath bag? Where do you buy such a thing?

Bunnyhop1502 · 12/12/2018 20:24

I got the whole lot from one of those crappy homewear catalogues! Studio maybe?

user1468942365 · 12/12/2018 20:25

neverunderfed that's genius! I'm all over that idea! Couple of pretty Sharpies and voila. I love you!

Dothehappydance · 12/12/2018 20:49

Oh yes I have a wreath bag as well - that may well have been Betterware, my first roll bag came from them.

I have a baubles storage box as well, I think that possibly came from Morrisons one year, it has a compartment layer on top and then space underneath.

Never bothered with a tree bag as I still have the original box.

katseyes7 · 12/12/2018 20:51

l keep all my wrapping stuff in one of those under-bed boxes. They're long enough and don't take up any cupboard space.

TheLastNigel · 12/12/2018 20:54

I'm not fussed on the wrapping paper but does anyone know where you can buy a study box with dividers specifically for fancy bauble storage?

Betsy86 · 12/12/2018 20:54

bunnyhop baubls storage porn has got me genuinely laughing out loud. Aswell as really hoping i can build a organised porno stash of storage like yours Grin

Figmentofimagination · 12/12/2018 21:05

I have the same wrapping paper box as canigetaliein.
I also have a bauble box (just bought this year), but it's a collapsible one from home bargains. It's supposed to hold up to 64 baubles over 4 layers. I only managed to fit 3 layers in as some baubles were bigger than the spaces, and I put bubble wrap between the layers to protect them more. I'm still happy with it though as I've managed to get rid of so many cardboard boxes (mainly Disney store gift boxes) that can only fit up to 3 baubles in.

Oooh I want one!

Bunnyhop1502 · 12/12/2018 21:23

@Betsy86 I live for storage! My DF has offered to build me some fitted wardrobes after Xmas. Can you imagine?! Row after row of baubles arranged by colour then size then level of glitter. I’m swooning slightly.

Betsy86 · 12/12/2018 21:25

bunnyhop can i move in Xmas Smile
That sounds amazing!!!

Bunnyhop1502 · 12/12/2018 21:30

@Betsy86 absolutely. We’ll fit you a bunk in the tinsel section.

willowstar · 12/12/2018 21:44

I have not one but two of the very useful boxes for wrapping paper. One for Christmas wrapping paper, the other for birthday and other general wrapping situations. I store sellotape and scissors in there too. I didn't used to do this sort of thing until I had little children who got invited to lots of birthday parties and I had to be a bit more organised.

Zevitevitchofcwsmas · 12/12/2018 22:03

Omg I was astonished when I saw ikea down them. My paper is currently ripped jutting out of an annoying cupboard falling all over the place. As soon as I can I'm getting my hands on this simple beautiful wrapping paper kit!

Zevitevitchofcwsmas · 12/12/2018 22:05

Busy I love it! The only thing that puts me off that one is spiders can get into it
