   Purchase a gift wrap organizer. There are many kinds to choose from, you decide which one you need according to price, amount of supplies that you have and available storage space in your home.

   You will need regular scissors and craft scissors, gift wrap tape and mailing tape, a glue gun and twist ties. Purchase rolled wrapping paper, cello bags, gift bags, gift boxes and tissue paper in a selection of white, solid colors and pastels. That way every season and occasion is covered. Add to the organizer; seasonal and all occasion stickers, rubber stamps (with an ink pad) and glitter pens to use on your bags and wrap to personalize it for the recipient and season.

   Have on hand in your gift wrap organizer; cellophane sheets and bags, various kinds of ribbons (curling, satin and raffia), pull bows and cone bags for sweets and drink mixes. Save baskets and other containers that you receive with gifts in them if you have the storage room. Reuse them to make gift baskets for others.

   Put a small book in the organizer to keep a record of your gift giving. Record in it; the date, who you gave the gift to and what the gift was. That way you won’t be in danger of giving the same gift twice to someone. Stock your organizer throughout the year as seasons pass. Buy supplies during the after season sales and you will be all set for the following year. Save old holiday cards and trim them to use as enclosure cards for gifts.
