Set up a Gift Wrapping and Mail Station [Holidays]

[Field Nurse]

Cut down on holiday stress this year by setting up a station for gift wrapping and holiday mailing. Last year was the first year in my life I didn't wrap a single present the week of Christmas, let alone on Christmas Eve, and I chalk that up entirely to having a gift wrapping station. Over at the holiday-loving blog Organized Christmas they have a guide to setting up a wrapping and mailing center in your home whether you have an entire room to dedicate to it or a temporary space on half a kitchen table. Many of the tips center on temporarily repurposing household objects for double duty as wrapping aides:

Long, low molded plastic boxes with storage for bows and gift cards slide easily under beds or on a linen closet shelf. An over-the-door shoe bag will keep scissors, bows, tags and ribbons visible as you work.
​

Even if you live in a studio apartment, it's still possible to convert a bed into a temporary gift wrapping station by placing a heavy sheet of cardboard on the bed to protect it from your fast and furious wrapping paper cutting. Have your wrapping paper well organized, but still wrap presents like you did in second grade? Learn how to properly wrap a gift.
