Wrapping gifts is one of my very favorite things about the holidays (in fact, I’ve mentioned before that one of my dream jobs is to be a professional gift wrapper in the mall during Christmas). I love searching for cute gift wrap and coordinating the ribbons and embellishments to match my holiday decor….in fact, I probably obsess over it a little too much. I wish I was one of those people that could throw a present into a gift bag with some tissue paper and call it done.

I tend to make simple things like wrapping gifts as difficult and time-consuming as possible. Which is why after spending a couple nights sitting on the floor in the middle of the guest bedroom surrounded by crumpled gift wrap and a tangled mess of ribbon, I’ve decided that my next house will have an entire workspace dedicated to wrapping presents. In fact, it will look exactly like this:

And I will be smiling just like that lady because it will be organized bliss in there, I tell you! I bet her bows always turn out perfectly and she never even runs out of tape or shirt boxes on Christmas Eve.

However, until I’m able to have an entire present-wrapping workshop like Santa, I will need to find creative ways to maximize the space I have to its fullest potential. This organizational eye candy has me excited to whip my gift wrap storage into shape after the holidays:
