Over the years, I’ve discovered that setting up a dedicated wrapping center in November can be a real game-changer during the holiday season. By organizing everything you need in one place, you can quickly wrap gifts as you buy them. This prevents a massive pile-up right before Christmas, when things tend to get the busiest.

Key Items for Your Wrapping Center:

Make sure you have plenty of the essentials ready to go:

• Wrapping paper
• Tissue paper
• Boxes
• Gift bags
• Tape
• Ribbon
• Gift tags

If you followed our October inventory checklist, you should have already stocked up on these items. And if you’re making your own gift tags, now is the perfect time to check that off your list! If you missed my previous post, I shared how I made my own custom gift tags.

Other Must-Have Items:

• Scissors: I recommend keeping a couple of pairs handy—I always seem to misplace them!
• Package toppers: I love adding a personal touch by making something that doubles as an ornament for each gift. If you’re looking for ideas, Stampin’ Up! offers a great kit for making package toppers. You can check out my post about it here.

By setting up your wrapping center early and keeping it well-stocked, you’ll be able to breeze through your holiday wrapping and avoid the last-minute rush. Happy wrapping!
