list of necessities to keep in your gift wrap station

As this was a birthday week in my house, I did a lot of gift-wrapping. Most things I had, but there were a few things I realized I needed to replenish. With the holidays drawing near, now is the time to start to stock up on the gift-wrapping supplies. Here are the items that every gift-wrap station should contain:

  • Variety of wrapping paper – girl/boy birthday, wedding, baby, Christmas (or your winter holiday)
  • Gift bags – same as above for variety, and different sizes
  • Tissue paper – white will go with everything
  • Gift boxes – collapsible for easy storage
  • Curling ribbon
  • Bows
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Paper cutting tool – I love the slim little one from scotch 3M
  • Labels, Gift Tags, and Gift cards

  • How about keeping some actual gifts on hand too? Sometimes it's a last minute invitation, or you ran out of time, or you just plain forgot. Over time you could build up a stash of gifts such as picture frames, gift cards, puzzles, etc.

  • Great list! I love to keep a large variety of tissue paper
    on hand. Sometimes small items look their best in tissue paper, and you can use 2 or 3 colors and prints for larger ones.

  • I love this! I like keeping silver, white, and black wrapping paper on hand in bulk... Then I can get creative with the ribbons. Plus, I'm never out of a specific style, like 'girl birthday'! Also, I send a lot of cards, so I keep them close to!
