Avoid Christmas utensils stress
Who does not know this, Christmas is approaching with giant steps, and no package has yet been packed, the (big) children have long since seen what is unpacked in the storeroom since the beginning of December. The question only "does it belong to me ...?", But one wants to have it as it did in his own childhood, and Omi is always happy when the Christkind façade is held up.
Personally, I could immediately do without the packaging, but it takes the magic and small children are already so sweet when they see the many packages with great wondering eyes. (Tip in advance: for my 4-year-old grandson, who gets several related toys, I've numbered the packages this time! So it can not happen that the accessories are first unpacked and leaves a question mark.
But until then the pure horror of stress is still waiting: do I have enough wrapping paper or, for all those who play it safe every year and buy different rolls of new paper: O my God, far too much paper, I would have been there and there and in still had the box and in this drawer ...
First, it is really advisable to buy a utensils box (at Tchibo gabs the recently, very practical except for the storage nets for various tapes and cards, etc.) - then you can ever collect all the gift paper rolls and store all the tapes in one place.
tip
What was so annoying every year for me again: I always had the greatest chaos in some already started tapes and the band had to be unthreaded before you could start packing.
I have now found an adequate solution. This year I mistakenly bought 100 pieces of small organza bags online, assuming that it would be bigger, since they only cost 2 euros, so I did not send them back. Now, unexpectedly, a new mission has come up for her: I now put each roll of gift ribbon into an organza sack and let out only the free end look out, so nothing can knot or get tangled up with other ribbons or scissors or loops, you pull gently and the band comes out beautifully. Everything nicely stowed and still space-saving, on top of that pretty to look at. I have given a few adhesive finishing loops in a leftover larger organza bag.
Do not forget: always reach into the rollers and roll from the inside! (But what is not so important with this tip).
By the way as a tip
You can also put bath balls in these sachets, bath salts with additives such as herbs or lavender flowers, which are also so gladly given away by colleagues at Christmas, you never know how you should ever use, since you with such baths, although gorgeous Smell, but always the bathtub has filthy: bottled an organza sack and already there's no problem anymore. Likewise, you can use the very small ones as teabags ... so I have enough applications in which I can use the erroneously purchased 100 pieces.
All beautiful and stress-free Christmas and remember: lock the cat in the other room before gift wrapping!
