Do you shop places like Target and Hallmark for great after Christmas sales on gift wrap? I find you have to go on the 26th to find the best rolls. You can store your rolls in this Clear Gift Wrap Organizer so they’ll be ready for next year!

With the clear vinyl walls, you can see what’s inside without having to pull it all out. Easy to clean, just wipe with a damp cloth and towel dry. This organizer has the capacity to store 25 standard 30″ rolls of wrapping paper, but can also store tissue paper, ribbon, and other wrapping supplies as well. Designed with a zippered top, you can easily access your wrapping paper throughout the year.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
