Gift-Wrap Station in a Bin

Make wrapping easy (and mobile)

The fastest way to keep holiday wrapping fun is to make it portable. One clear bin = move from kitchen island to bedroom floor to the tree without hunting for tape or tags. When my brain starts spinning with all the to-dos, I pause and reset—sometimes more than once a day—because I’m over-excited (and a little anxious!) for the season. This setup channels that energy into an easy win you’ll use all December.

Where to Stash the Bin

• Primary: coat closet floor or laundry room shelf (easy access, out of sight)
• Bedroom: under-bed box for late-night wrapping
• Entry bench: if you wrap gifts for delivery/pickups
• Car trunk (temporary): for on-the-go gifting days—bring it back inside after

Wherever it lives, it should take 10 seconds to grab and go.

How to Use It (fast workflow)

• Pull the bin to your workspace; start a two-song timer.
• Wrap in batches: cut all paper first → tape → ribbons → tags.
• Keep scraps larger than a postcard in a folder for minis; recycle the rest.
• At the bell: toss trash, restock tape if low, pack everything back in the bin.

Kid-Safe Scissors (Duplicate Set)

Little helpers make it merry—but they also love your good scissors. Add a second, kid-safe pair plus their own tape to a labeled pouch. They can cut ribbon, stick tags, and decorate gift bags while you handle the sharp tools and box cutter. Everyone stays productive (and safe). 🎄✂️

Bin Label Set — Cut & Tape

Print, cut, and tape to pouches/boxes so everything finds its way home. (Tip: use clear packing tape as a lamination.)

For baskets, punch two holes in each label and tie with twine. For pouches, tape along all sides for durability.
