I don’t know what the gift wrap situation is in your house, but my husband is NOT a fan of having tons and tons of rolls. In fact, he has told me that he would be perfectly happy using up an entire roll before ever buying another one.
I’m not a fan of the art of gift wrapping (I wrap presents like a 5 year old…no, seriously). But I DO appreciate having a little variety in my wrapping paper choices (or, let’s be real, my gift bag choices). So we compromise, and I only purchase 2 or 3 rolls every year to replace the ones that get used up. I show EPIC restraint during the after Christmas sales, let me tell you!
Even so, over the years all of our gift wrap supplies have grown a bit, and take up 2 boxes that slide under the bed instead of just 1. Basically, it’s a mess, and for the size house we have (under 1400 square feet) wrapping paper is taking up too much precious real estate.
The folks at Wrap iT recently asked me to try out their product designed to organize gift wrap. When it came in the mail, I set it out next to all of our supplies and thought, “Um, I don’t think so!”
So I got the storage bag, which is designed to go under your bed, or even hang up in the closet if you like. Even though I noted all the pockets and storage areas, I still wasn’t convinced that it was going to hold everything.
So then I started finding homes for everything, and little by little, my big pile of wrapping paper supplies started to dwindle.
I kept the birthday wrapping paper on one side, and the Christmas wrap on the other. The inside of the Wrap iT also had space for tape and ribbons.
The outside of the Wrap iT had a lot of pockets, and that’s where I put my boxes, tissue paper, gift bags, gift tags, scissors, markers and bows.
Yes, indeed, the Wrap iT held that entire pile of stuff. And now the space we have devoted to storing gift wrap supplies is cut in half, and instead of having to drag out two boxes any time we want to wrap something, we only have to reach for one thing.
I’ve seen it with my own two eyes, friends, the Wrap iT works! If you want to see for yourself how Wrap iT works (in 100 seconds!) check out this video.

I store it in my closet and it’s a mess naturally
I store mine in a tall garbage can with a lid
Mine’s in a garbage can in the basement LOL
I have a old plastic zipper dress bag. I put my wrapping paper in there and hang it in the extra bedroom’s closet. It works alright but takes up a lot of room I could use for clothes.
I store mine in an oversized plastic garbage bag. LOL!
We use trash bags and keep under our bed, untll, my DH took it upstairs. He said he would go up and get it when we needed it (I can’t walk up the stairs-disabilty). So when he does go up to get it, the rolls are all smooshed. Not a good way to keep at all.
Thanks for the chance,

I have in a plastic storage box
in a box
I store gift wrapping supplies in a box in the closet. It works fine during Christmas but is a pain during other times.
shoved in bags and in a closet
Right now I have an Rubbermaid container but it’s only long enough for the shorter rolls so the longer rolls are stuck in my closet which doesnt work cause the edges get damaged…..sometimes I shove rolls under thr bed where they are promptly forgotten. This would be very nice to win to have a property sized container for everything and also to keep it all together so I’m not hunting for stuff when I need to wrap something,,,,love the extra pockets for stuff….. Scissors are always misplaced at my house…..I have many pairs and it’s need unusual to need a pair and they are missing, same with tape….go into my teenage step daughters room at any time and you are guaranteed to find 3-4 or more pairs of scissors or several rolls of tape so would def keep tape and scissors in here so I’d also have them handy and never be looking…. this would be perfect to hold everything….thanks for the chance to win!
Somehow I managed to post without all my info as anynonomous so replying to my own post, this with my info so you know who posted this,,,,,sorry for the error
I think I just tossed whatever was left on top of the stacks of boxes in my outside storage unit.I will probably forget they are there at the holidays and buy a bunch more then do the same with that.I don’t think it’s working out very well,lol.I so need this!!
My husband and I store our gift wrap in a box, it works alright but there is always room to improve to better storage. That way we have more room for everything else.
My wrapping paper is scattered. Some of it went in the Christmas boxes to store for next yr and some of it is hid not so well behind my dresser.
I store gift wrap in a corner of the office closet. It WOULD work well, but my toddler always knows when there is something cool behind a closed door and loves to get in there and tear it apart.
I currently keep all my stuff in two different under bed storage bins. they’re large and bulky, but they keep the contents safe from cats and dust. unfortunately they don’t actually fit under the bed, so I store them in the attic, which makes them hard to pull out, especially when you just need to wrap up one little thing.
All my stuff is just under my bed. I need to be organized!
Currently I have everything stuffed into a corner of the closet. This does not work well at all.
Currently my wrapping items are just stored in a closet.
I have a big tub I keep mine in – doesn’t work that great
I bought one of those plastic stand-up bins only to find later that it doesn’t hold the longer rolls, then I had to but a second bin to hold ribbons, bows, gift bags, and boxes.
🙁
We store it in the closets and no it’s terrible. It falls, gets ruined and there’s no room for it in there!
I store ours in a flat rubbermaid container. It doesn’t work as well since it gets all tangled up and takes up too much space. I would love this!
I don’t store mine well.
Unfortunately, it’s all stuffed in a drawer!
I currently store extra wrapping in the closet and it doesn’t work that great. I usually need to take the outer paper off each year before using.
Tape, bows, ribbon in a shoe box and rolls sit in the corner of my closet.
My gift wrap is in a corner of my bedroom closet. It is in the way and falls down all the time!
I am currently doing the same thing you were. We store it in a slide out tub under our bed, but it is a total mess and anytime I want to wrap something I have to take everything out of the tub to find what I am looking for.
I forgot to add my name and email. This was my response
I have it all thrown in a big box. At least it is all together.
Most of it is in the laundry room
My system is not so good!
Birthday wrap, tissue paper and ribbon is in my closet. My kittens seem to really enjoy it:)
Mine is stuffed in a seldom used closet, along with outgrown toys. Needless to say, my grandchildren often pilfer in this closet, and wreck my paper!
I currently store mine in the closet. It can wind up a big mess, so it’s not working well! LOL Thanks for the giveaway!
Mine is currently shoved in a corner getting all crumpled up. This would be helpful!!
Ahh to keep it all in one place! What a concept! I think I have it in 4 different rooms. I need this!
not working good! I have it piled in my closet 🙁
I store mine in a large plastic container that doesn’t stay shut, tied up with yarn in my closet & shoved wherever I can find space. I don’t think it’s working out too well for me. LOL
I have it in a paper storage container
I just put it in a closet or under our bed
I keep everything in a couple of shopping totes bags, thanks!
on a shelf , i never find what i need
Currently my wrapping paper/bags/supplies take up a whole shelf and a half in our linen closet… so this would be amazing to have!
I just store my wrapping paper in the closet, and yep when I try to go and get it, some of it has fallen, and all scrunched up and can’t use it, so I have to cut it off…and all my tags and such I think every year, I’m going to put these up so I know where they are…and when I go to look for them I can never find them, so I go and buy more..and when I’m not looking for the ones I lost, i find them…I can honestly say my way is definitely not working for me, in fact it is a total nightmare
It’s in the corner under the stairs. Sometimes the cat bites holes in it.
I have a large plastic container. It is really bulky and kind of a pain as I always have to dig to get what I want.
I seriously need this — we store it all over the place and then some of it ends up get crushed and then wasted. I would LOVE this…thanks for sharing.
Mine is not stored very well. it is spread out across multiple closets!
I currently have wrapping paper in a bag in the closet, tissue paper, boxes and gift bags in a suitcase in the top of the closet. It’s usually a mess when I go to wrap something. And I end up hunting for scissors and tape to boot.
Mine goes in a closet. And every time I open the door it falls out. And it ends up unraveling a bit and crinkling and every Christmas, I end up going thru and cutting off all the crinkled stuff. What a waste!

I actually have a wrapping paper storage set from Rubbermaid, but it only holds short rolls and of course the majority of my wrapping paper is longer, so they just sit in a corner and fall over whenever I move boxes!

I have two separate plastic containers that I use to store my wrapping supplies. It isn’t as organized as I would like, and I often have trouble finding what I am looking for. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have a closet that I keep paper rolls an bags in
Mine is taking over a shelf in the garage and is always getting damaged. Like your find better.
I have a cabinet and 2 tubs! I would LOVE to redo my extensive storage into a more condensed one like this!!! Wow! This is incredible!!
I keep my wrapping paper in boxes in the attic, but the paper is aways getting wrinkled and torn. This organizer would prevent that from happening.
i just keep it in cabinets nad its not organized!
I have my wrap stored in a tall box it the basement and other locations around the house. Working…not so much.
my gift wrap is currently shoved in the back of a closet in my outside porch…it works, but is a mess…and my wrapping paper is constantly crinkled and ripped!
Currently I storing wrapping paper by leaning in it corners in two different closets. My gift bags are tucked in a box on the top self of my guest room closet. It’s not really working for me. I forget what I have or I don’t feel like pulling my box off the top shelf for a bag. I was trilled to find this post on Pinterest and even more excited to see it was in a giveaway. Regardless of if I win or not, I will be purchasing one of these!
I currently have gift wrap in several different locations in my home. The idea of being able to store it all on one place is great. It will also be a great gift for my daughter and daughter-in-law. Thanks for sharing this great information!!
This would be a great space saver!
This would be great! I have some rolls stored behind the railing going down the stairs, some on the wall shelf in the basement, and some in a storage container (which is not nearly big enough for all the crap i have!!)
I am currently using a plastic (under the bed) type of wrapping paper container. It works as far as keeping everything in one spot but I would love to find a better solution where I could store bags, tape, ribbon, etc in there own area not just thrown in together.
I store everything in a large gift bag and when that falls apart, I use another gift bag. A Wrap iT would be a great way to store all our wrap and gift bags, etc. Thanks.
I have two of those long gift wrap boxes. One is for Christmas wrapping paper rolls and the other is for general use. The problem is the Christmas one has little trays that sit on top for ribbon and accessories so I have to get out Christmas paper every time I wrap anything. My gift bags are all in a big bag. I have additional sheets of paper in a box.

My wrap is in an old vacuum cleaner box in our basement. It doesn’t see the light of day very often. The gift bags and tissue (what I normally use for gifts) are stored in a plastic tote which works okay except that some stuff gets shuffled around and bent. I would much rather have a Wrap It bag!
I just store mine in the closet
I currently store it in one of those totes designed for wrapping paper, except the lid does not fit on it because not all wrapping paper is created equal.
I have my gift wrap/bags in a storage container under the bed and no it doesn’t work so well…I always have to dig through to find what I need and papers end up getting bent and torn.
It’s mostly in this box designed for it, but it’s really hard to open. The rest is in a big garbage bag.
I seriously throw mine in the closet. my daughter steals it (she LOVES “gifting”). it doesn’t work 🙂
Right now we store ours in our storage building in the back yard. It’s just kind of thrown in there. It doesn’t really bother me necessarily, but I can see how it will probably get on my nerves before too much longer. I prefer my things to be organized, and currently I don’t have anything to make it be just that!
We store ours in a plastic container in a closet. It works okay but I would love it to be really easy to access and clean. Plus having everything in one place would be so helpful.
