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..

Thanks bunnyhop I’ll have a look. I definitely want a wreath bag. I’ve been lusting after a wrapping paper box for years now. Maybe this years the year to get organised.

I must say i am petrified of spiders and until this thread had literally never even considered they might be hiding in my wrapping paper.

I thought it was going to be a glittery Facebook shite thread! But no, I actually do have one of these. The Really Useful box one.

Last year I also got a bag with all spool things in for Christmas lights too. That was epic, unpacking that bad boy this year. No tangles!

I read the title of your thread and thought ‘probably me’.
I was right.
I’ve a hanging one, keeps all the papers and bows together, (plus a pair of scissors and some tape hidden from the rest of the family where the thieving gits never think to look)

Ooooh @TheFifthKey any chance of a pic or link?

Just spent twenty minutes untangling. Xmas Hmm

Halloweenallyearround · 13/12/2018 12:36

I just want to say 'thank you for
This post' it's blowing my mind Grin
My dp always has a giggle at me for how organised my Xmas decorations are - but I didn't think there where actually organised bags!
Out with the cardboard boxes in with the organisers!

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 13/12/2018 12:41

I’m in the minority here. I don’t own one and have no plans whatsoever to get one.

OutPinked · 13/12/2018 12:48

I think they’re a good idea. I bought lots of wrapping paper in the January sales and it sat in the car boot for months before DP decided to throw it in the garage. I dug it out last week and it’s ruined Angry.

TheFifthKey · 13/12/2018 15:21

This is what I have but they're out of stock everywhere apparently!

Ooooh that's a thing of organisational beauty there @TheFifthKey......I'm jealous.

90mammasophie · 13/12/2018 15:37

I'm quite tempted to get something like this!

Our wrapping paper just gets shoved in a corner of spare room. By the time I need it again it's all ripped by the cat. And heaven knows where the cello tape is. This could be neatly tucked away under a bed or something.

90mammasophie · 13/12/2018 15:39

I'd also like a storage box for spare presents.

Ruth Langsford has a second ironing board set up in a spare room which acts as a wrapping station. No bad backs because you raise it to a comfortable level.

I like a storage solution and would use the storer if somebody gave me one. But I wouldn't buy one. My rolls are in a cupboard in a spare room.

Kescilly · 13/12/2018 16:08

@90mammasophie that’s what we do with ours. It’s from IKEA and has a handle so we can easily pull it out from under the bed when we need it. It’s been nice having everything stored together and then we don’t keep buying extra bits because we can’t find them/don’t know if we have any.

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 13/12/2018 17:32

Yes I use my ironing board to wrap too!

The things I learn from MN! Xmas Smile
