"  First step: Set aside one day for the task. Choose an afternoon or evening in mid-December (earlier if you need to ship packages long-distance).  Use an ironing board as your work surface. But before you wrap, organize presents by category (family and in-laws, friends, etc.) and fill out gift tags to avoid mislabeling. Don&amp;#039;t go overboard with frills. People will be just as pleased with a simple presentation. Recycle materials you find around the house. Use the Sunday comics for toys. Cover travel gifts with maps. Wrap books, software or DVDs in shelf paper. Dress up grandparents&amp;#039; gifts with your children&amp;#039;s artwork. Use fabric scraps (trim with pinking shears) for cosmetics and fashion accessories. Stock up on gift wrap after the holidays, when prices are marked down. To store rolls, slide tubes through the loops of an empty plastic six-pack holder and stack on a shelf or in a tall plastic barrel. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
