No room for clothes!

Many of us here have been Christmas shopping lately. I know I have! I have been for months actually. I keep all the gifts in my closet. After my shopping excursion yesterday I walked into my room with my bags and realized that after I put those ones in I was out of room! My husband has his 52" TV in there as well, because our bedroom is not huge and our bed faces it. So he decided that was a good place. Last night I hauled everything out at started wrapping. I figured if I start now I won't be rushing to do it last minute like I normally do! Do you wrap as you shop or just put it away for later? Where do you store your gifts? I need to find a new place!

I put the gifts I buy in the closet in my room and in the bottom drawer of one of my dressers. I don't have much shopping done yet, so I have plenty of room left for right now. I normally wait to wrap mine until Christmas Eve.

I used to wait until Christmas Eve too but nobody ever helped me. I would not get to go to sleep because I would stay up all night wrapping stacks of presents.

I have most of my shopping done as well. I usually wait until I'm ready to pack my presents before I wrap them. I have tho mail most of my gifts) so I tend to wrap all of my gifts when I am ready to do my mailing. I may still buy or make a few items last minute of friends or relatives who live in town and these of course get wrapped rather last minute. I store my gifts in my office/sewing/guest room. My husband and I live in a relatively small apartment (about 900 sq ft) and we have to make use of every square inch. Fortunately we have no children or elderly parents living with us, however our daughter and her family visit once or twice a year and the two grandchildren spend a couple of weeks each during the summer. So it is something of a squeeze.

I used to wait too. For some reason I feel motivated to get it all done this year.

Maybe you need to de cluster things that you no longer need and give them or throw them away. I have a small room which we keep our unused items in it. HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. © ronaldinu 2008
