The holiday season is here, and what better way to maximize the space in your new or used than by turning it into a cozy gift-wrapping station? With a few clever tricks and a touch of holiday spirit, you can make wrapping gifts in your new or used RV both festive and efficient, as well as keep your best holiday secrets truly under wraps, and allowing you to keep your home clutter-free from late night gift wrapping sessions. Say goodbye to cluttered counters and tangled ribbons—here’s how to get your RV holiday-ready!
Create a Wrapping Zone
First, choose a designated wrapping spot. The RV dining table or kitchen island are both perfect options. Cover the surface with a holiday-themed tablecloth or a protective mat to prevent scratches. Having a defined workspace makes the wrapping process feel more organized and enjoyable, plus it keeps you from scattering supplies throughout the RV!
Organize Your Supplies
To keep your wrapping station neat, invest in a storage caddy or a plastic bin with compartments for paper, bows, tape, and scissors. Command hooks work wonders for hanging scissors or small bags of bows right on your RV’s wall or cabinet. If you’re planning to wrap multiple gifts, pre-cut ribbons and tags to save time. These little touches make your RV feel like a true holiday workshop!
Make the Most of Small Spaces
In a smaller space, staying organized is essential. Utilize the RV’s vertical storage options—shelves, hooks, and even the backs of seats are all fair game. You can use a shoe organizer on the back of a door for rolls of wrapping paper, ribbons, and tags. Compact drawers or collapsible boxes can also help keep everything in place without eating up precious room.
Add Festive Decor
Turn up the holiday cheer by adding a few decorative touches to your RV. String up mini lights around your wrapping area, or place a small wreath above the wrapping table. Not only does it make the space feel more magical, but it also puts you in the holiday spirit while you work! Keep your Spotify tuned to festive music or play your favorite holiday movies in the background while the fireplace keeps things toasty. And keep a few ready-to-make warm drinks – like single-serve cider, coffee, tea, or cocoa pods – handy in the RV kitchen.
Transforming your RV into a gift-wrapping station is a creative way to make the most of your space this holiday season and put your RV to good use in the off-season.
