I recently bought something designed for storing gift wrap and accessories. I like it but there is not a good place for varying sizes of gift bags except to just put them under the rolls of wrapping paper. I don’t want to try to hunt from under the rolls. I am now considering a hard plastic upright container just for the rolls of wrapping paper. Do any of you use that type of storage and if so, do you like it?

I actually keep my bags in the upright roll wrap container, too. I put them all into one large bag, and stand them up behind the rolls of wrap.  |

The few rolls I have are upright in a plastic trash bin. The bin sits in the closet.

I have an under-the-bed type of shallow, lidded storage bin. I don't actually keep it under the bed though, it's in a storage area.
I like it because it can hold all my folded bags and tissue paper and some bows, but it's not too heavy or massive. It's probably about 3 ft x 2 ft x 6 inches deep.

We keep our Christmas wrapping paper in one of the hard upright containers. It works great…just as long as you don’t have an extra tall rolls.

I actually just found what I think is the perfect solution for me. I got an upright laundry bin from target that is on wheels. I only have a few rolls of wrapping paper on hand (we won't talk about Christmas wrap lol, that's another storage story!). I have the rolls in the bin, a large gift bag with other gift bags in it, a small bag with ribbons, and a hard sided gift box with tissue paper. www.target.com/p/wire-rolling-laundry-hamper-brightroom-8482/-/A-84207338#lnk=sametabIt moves around really easily and has everything contained. It works for me/my space better than the other 10 solutions I've tried. If I felt the need I could use a bungee cord to make a holder for rolls of wrap, but so far so good. |

I have a cupboard in my craft room that is dedicated to gift bags. I put one of those metal cookie sheet dividers in there, and separated them by occasion. Could that work for you? In a cupboard or shelf?

I have an upright container for rolls and two plastic containers for bags (one for Christmas, one for everything else)

I bought an upright cylindrical container for wrapping paper, but then I had nowhere to put the container! I have now set aside one long drawer in the wardrobe in the spare room to store wrapping paper. It's the perfect place.

I started a thread about gift bags and gift wraps a couple weeks-ish ago.
There were some great ideas post on it.
Let me see if I can find the thread and bring it back to page one for you.
