Wrapping Paper Storage

Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these (or similar) in the UK? I have searched everywhere on the internet and in shops and can't find one anywhere. It just looks so handy and will keep all the wrapping paper in order.

I can only find them for sale in the US, but some places don't ship to the UK and the places that do will charge a fortune for delivery to the UK.

Thank you!

Betterware do something very similar.

I have to be honest and say that my rolls of wrapping paper are stacked / stored in a corner of my cupboard in the long plastic bags that I was given when I bought them. I then keep any bows and string in another little plastic bag.

Or there's this?

I've just searched the Betterware site and found this: http://www.betterware.co.uk/images/items/p12003363.jpg

It's only £2.99 and is just what I'm looking for (and it's so much cheaper than the Lakeland one).

Thank you!

Me too rchddap1.

I'm also a bit cheeky and when I bought a roll of wrapping paper from Woolworths, I asked the assistant if I could have a couple of spare (extra long) plastic bags.

I've found that the high street chains of card shops are very expensive for birthday/wedding wrapping paper. I buy mine from a back street sweet shop instead.

I store mine in bin liners, on top of the wardrobe, at least its out the way and keeps dust free x

I know what you mean. I try and get a lot of my Xmas paper in the January sales and then store it until next year.

This year however, I've bought Xmas paper that can double up as birthday paper throughout the year (for example, plain silver paper, paper with stars on). I got most of mine from the BHS sale where I paid 90p for 5 metres of really nice quality stuff (was £3 before Xmas).

Last year, I picked up three packs of 60 gift tags reduced down to 8p each in Asda, so they'll last me a few Christmases.

I saw a great tip for this on the Flylady website.

One of the members suggestions was to keep wrapping paper in a spare suit hanger. Hang the hanger in the wardrobe and use the main 'body' part for the wrapping paper rolls. The pockets are great for scellotape and scissors / tags etc.

Hi all,

I'll move this over to "I wanna" to see if we can get any more help there.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.
