Default Where do you store your wrapping paper?

I keep mine in the hall closet. It attacks me everytime I open the door. Does anyone have a better place to store there wrapping paper?

I keep my boxes, ribbons, bows, tape and tags in the box my dd's toy box came in. It is probably 18" wide, 2.5' long and 4" or 5" high. It really works well, but it is not quite long enough to hold wrapping paper.

I store wrapping paper, tissue paper, ribbon and bows in a low plastic container under the daybed in the spare room. I like that because it is out of my way and very easy to get to when I need it.

I use a plastic storage container too. Mine stands upright though. it fits right behind the door in the spare bedroom.
I got one for my Christmas wrap too. It is kind of awkward in the garage like that. I think I want to get a flat one this year at the after Christmas sales.

I bought a compartmentalized hanging bag that was a life saver when we lived in the apartment and had very limited space. Now that we finally have a house I'm setting up a perminent wrapping station in my studio space. My Christmas wrap usually goes right in the tree box--it's the perfect size and I never misplace it.

I keep the actual wrapping paper in one of those huge plastic storage bins. The bows, bags, ribbon, etc. are all in an old 5 drawer chest that we keep in the basement for storage.
