Customized Gift Wrap Center

We love The Container Store Customized Gift Wrap Center because it fits so well into different types of spaces. This solid wrapping paper organizer can easily slide under a bed or sit stowed up on a closet shelf until you need it.

It includes four different accessory boxes to accommodate everything from ribbons and bows to tags, scissors, and tape. You can slot those in, then leave the other side of the organizer open for plenty of space to hold the wrapping paper itself.

Canvas Gift Wrap Organizer

Looking for an affordable gift wrap organizer? We love the Honey-Can-Do Canvas Gift Wrap Organizer for its abundance of space and extra storage compartments. You can neatly zip gift bags and tags under the flap in the transparent compartments, and it also comes with removable inserts that allow you to restructure the interior in the way that makes the most sense for your storage needs. Access it easily in any closet or under a bed by grabbing one of the two handles.

Gift Bag Organizer

Storing gift bags is rarely easier than with this over-the-door organizer. If you like to collect all of the bags that you receive during the holidays to regift them later on (no shame in that!), this organizer will help you keep tabs on your inventory.

This double-sided hanging organizer is equipped with 18 clear pockets to stash up to 150 gift bags, tissue paper, and labels without getting them wrinkled.

Classroom Keepers Poster & Roll Storage

Made of glossy recycled corrugated cardboard, the Classroom Keepers Poster & Roll Storage is equipped with 16 slots for wrapping paper, though you can repurpose it to hold rolled-up posters or art supplies just as easily. Thanks to its tall sides and relatively minimal footprint, it can fit easily in any closet or corner, and takes up little space.

Double-Sided Hanging Gift Wrap Organizer

Live in a small space or lack closets to store your gift wrap? The Freegrace Double-Sided Hanging Gift Wrap Organizer is a slim, two-sided wrapping paper organizer that keeps all of your supplies organized and stored conveniently away anywhere you have hangar space.

Its 360-degree hanger lets you can easily adjust it when you’re grabbing your wrapping. And unlike with the Jokari, there are a variety of compartments here for paper, bags, tags, bows, ribbons, cards, and any other embellishments.

Utility Gift Wrap Door & Wall Rack

The Utility Gift Wrap Door & Wall Rack turns any chaotic pile of supplies into a neat hub on the back of any standard 7-foot door. It’s made of metal, and you can customize the arrangement of the mesh baskets and board to hold your rolls of gift wrap vertically, hang bags by their handle loops, and hook on tape and ribbon spools.

Just keep in mind that this wrapping paper organizer isn’t extendable, so make sure you measure before you buy. We recommend this one if you want a more permanent storage solution that doesn’t look slapdash.

3-Tier Metal Rolling Utility Cart

For some, wrapping gifts is the craftiest thing they do all year. But if you’re a DIY enthusiast and want a more permanent complement to your workstation, a properly organized hub like the 3-Tier Metal Rolling Utility Cart can keep your supplies organized and at the ready. The wheels let you trundle it whee you need or want it, whether you’re wrapping in the living room or making your way to your craft room.

It includes storage hooks and trays that attach to its pegboard side, so you can shift them from one tier to the other to accommodate your supplies. (Each shelf can hold a whopping 20 pounds,) It also has two round magnetic boxes that you can twist open for extra storage.

For use as a wrapping paper organizer, an armful of rolls can nestle into a cubby at the bottom.

Craft Storage Cart

No matter what the occasion is, the Honey-Can-Do Craft Storage Cart has the space you need for all of your present prep. It’s made of solid wood, so it’s sturdy and can double as a legitimate piece of furniture. And the wheels let you shuttle it from room to room.

This wrapping paper organizer can hold about six rolls in the very back, and its open-shelf setup allows you to see at a glance what you already have in your collection. The three drawers let you keep smaller bits and bobs corralled neatly together. Just keep in mind that assembly is required and may take some time.

Wrap N’ Craft Plastic Storage Container

Deceptively simple in appearance, the Wrap N’ Craft has a couple of tricks up its plastic sleeve. The large compartment at the bottom holds wrapping paper, while the smaller one in the lid can store tools like scissors and tape.

The container can accommodate up to 30 rolls of wrapping paper. Plus, you don’t have to worry about your paper getting wet or ripped, thanks to the sturdy plastic construction (which also allows you to see exactly what’s inside.)

Gift Bag Wrap and Craft Organizer

Traveling home for the holidays or a special occasion that will require a lot of wrapping? This TreeKeeper Gift Bag Wrap and Craft Organizer is designed like a rolling suitcase for easy transport.

Besides being great for travel, it has myriad compartments and four zippered pockets that allow you to store —among other things — 14 rolls of wrapping paper and six XL-size ribbon rolls.

Gift Bag Organizer

This collapsible bag is shaped more like a tote with long handles, making it a great travel companion. It also has multiple outer pockets to quickly stash everything from scissors to ribbon to tape. And the top zippers shut for keeping everything inside and out of the wind and rain (if you need to take it outside).

Iris Clear Card Keeper

Ever had to pass up getting the perfect card just because you found it months too early for the occasion? Well, the genius Iris Clear Card Keeper gives you a convenient place to discreetly stow all of your holiday, birthday, and greeting cards without them getting lost at the bottom of a drawer somewhere.

You can label its six adjustable, tabbed dividers according to recipient or occasion, and the clear plastic build lets you see exactly which cards you have in your selection.

What to Consider

Available Storage Space

Chances are, unless you have a lot of extra storage room in your home, you’ll probably be stashing your wrapping paper organizer in a closet. And if you have a lot of stuff in there competing for space, your paper can wrinkle and easily rip if something brushes up against it. If you have ample shelving, you might be able to accommodate a long, horizontally oriented organizer like The Container Store Customized Gift Wrap Center. Or, if you have plenty of floor space, an upright organizer like the Honey-Can-Do Craft Storage Cart could be better suited to your purposes.

If neither of these solutions works, then check out some of the hanging or over-the-door wrapping paper organizers in this guide, like the Freegrace Double-Sided Hanging Gift Wrap Organizer.

Organizing Purpose

Many of the best wrapping paper organizers are all-in-one products with spots to store your gift labels, ribbon, tape, scissors, tissue paper, and anything else you need to wrap the perfect gift. If you’re starting from zero, we highly suggest looking into these multipurpose boxes and carts first.

However, other products are mono-taskers, best for holding just gift wraps, bags, or cards. These can help enhance an existing setup that’s already working for you, allowing you to expand your collection instead of crowding everything in one place.

In this guide, we’ve included many different types of wrapping paper storage options to fit in cabinets and closets, big and small. They can hang, roll under the bed, store neatly on a shelf, or easily prop up whenever a gifting opportunity arises. Plus, many of them can hold much more than just wrapping paper. (We’re talking ribbons, tape, scissors, bows, and gift bags.)
