A Peek Inside My Gift Closet

I take pride not only in my gift-giving ability but also in my pretty wrapping skills; presentation is everything, right? That’s why, a few years ago, I decided to take over part of our pre-existing wine room and turn it into my little gifting space. While my make-shift wrapping station worked for a bit, it started feeling cluttered and unorganized with wrapping paper, baskets, bows, etc. strewn everywhere. I finally had Uptown Concierge (@uptown.concierge) come and help me rework the space recently to make it function beautifully and look the part as well. We added tons of much-needed organization with standing shelves, baskets, and labels from The Container Store and built shelves custom-made for wrapping paper, tissue paper, and ribbon.

Now, I keep everything from gift wrapping supplies, cards, and even some of my favorite hostess/children’s gifts on hand as not to worry if I’m in a pinch – which happens often. Keep scrolling to take a peek in my second-favorite closet and shop my favorite organization tools, chic gift wrapping, and more.

Always stocked with the perfect items to put together hostess gifts, birthdays presents, etc. Shop some essentials and my outfit.

These standing shelves added so much vertical space to a small room and they’re relatively affordable for the size. Paired with almost every size of these baskets and customizable labels, the organization makes my heart sing. I love that the baskets are somewhat sheer too, so you can see exactly what’s in them.

*Pro tip: I always keep a few of these customizable straw bags on hand with either generic phrases or names I gift to a lot for quick, but precious gift baskets. 

I have wrapping paper and ribbon fit for any occasion; baby showers, birthdays, weddings, etc. So, a wrapping paper wall was a dream come true. I found a few less permanent storage alternative to these built-in’s here and here. I might buy the over-the-door rack for extra space.

Last but not least, a home for my tissue paper. Found something similar here.
