Holiday Gift-Wrapping Station Guide
With the holiday season coming up, now is the perfect time to create a DIY gift-wrapping station in your home. Having a dedicated space with organized supplies can make gift wrapping easy and enjoyable. Using essentials from ACE Hardware, you can set up a functional wrapping area that stays neat and ready all season.
Here’s how to set up a simple and organized gift-wrapping station that makes holiday prep stress-free:
-
Find the Perfect Spot
Choose a convenient, quiet space in your home, like a corner in your home office, spare room, or garage. A dedicated spot means you can keep everything in place and avoid setting up and taking down supplies every time you need to wrap gifts.
-
Get a Compact, Sturdy Table
A reliable surface is key for smooth wrapping. The Lifetime Personal Folding Table (26 inches) is an excellent choice, featuring a powder-coated steel frame. Its compact, weather-resistant design makes it a great option for both indoor and outdoor wrapping spaces while providing enough room for wrapping paper, ribbons, and supplies.
-
Organize Wrapping Supplies with Storage Bins
Keep all of your supplies in one place with the Megabox 155L Transparent Storage Box. This large, high-impact plastic bin is ideal for holding wrapping paper rolls, ribbons, and even larger items like gift bags. Its clear design allows you to see everything immediately, so you can quickly find what you need.
-
Add a Trash Bin for a Tidy Workspace
Wrapping often leads to scraps and empty tape rolls, so having a trash bin nearby is a must. The Eko Stella Step Bin 30L is a great choice, with its brushed stainless-steel finish and hands-free step-pedal feature that keeps your workspace neat without any hassle.
-
Invest in Sharp, Multi-Purpose Scissors
A good pair of scissors is essential for wrapping. Maped Universal Scissors offer a pointed tip for precise cutting and an ergonomic grip, making it easy to cut paper, ribbons, and other materials without straining your hand. This will ensure every gift looks neat and professionally wrapped!
-
Use a Pegboard for Additional Storage
If you have wall space near your wrapping area, consider installing a pegboard to hang smaller items like scissors, tape, and gift tags. ACE Hardware has a variety of hooks and containers that attach to pegboards, giving you easy access to frequently used items and freeing up your table space.
-
Pack Away Everything Neatly After the Holidays
Once the holidays are over, pack your supplies into the Megabox MG-961 & MG-960 BOHO Series Storage Bins for easy storage until next year. Stackable storage bins like these not only save space but also protect your supplies from dust and damage, keeping everything organized for the next wrapping season.
Setting up a gift-wrapping station is quick and affordable with these essentials from ACE. With your dedicated station, you’ll breeze through holiday wrapping without the mess or stress.
