Spring Cleaning and Gift Boxes

 

Spring Cleaning and Gift Boxes


I have friend who is gift boxes mad. She is one of those ultra organized people I aspire to. This year I think she took spring cleaning and gift boxes a bit too far, or maybe that is the way to do it. I’m sharing this story firstly because I think it is worth the read and secondly to hear your opinion.
Visit our Gift Boxes page for a complete range of gift boxes.
Sandra started by choosing a colour scheme for each room’s gift boxes and planned very carefully the amount of each size gift boxes she will need.
She started with her cupboard. All her shoes are now neatly stacked in PVC or transparent gift boxes. Square gift boxes were made to fit into her shelves with underwear sorted according to colour and type. Her winter clothes are now all sorted according to scarves, jerseys, tops etc to neatly fit in the top of her cupboard with neat labels added for easy access.
She uncluttered her make up drawer with gift boxes neatly aligned keeping hairpins, ear buds, cotton wool, nail polish, eye shadow etc apart.
For her husbands cupboard she used Aluminium tins gift boxes to tidy belts, socks, underpants etc. His shoes are stacked in PVC gift boxes. Personally I hope for his sake he keeps it tidy.
The transformation I liked the most is her study. I made gift boxes for her with drawers. Once these gift boxes are stacked they take up very little space, but you can store a lot of paraphernalia in them.

With labels on her gift boxes drawers she now had a well organized scrap booking station. Paper, ribbons, embellishments and other tools are stored according to type. She used the same gift boxes drawer system, only in a different colour for all her sewing equipment, sorting patterns, material, Vilene, buttons and cotton. Her third row of gift boxes with drawers in a third colour contains all her office equipment. Paper, files, staplers etc are store and sorted for easy access.
On three shelves erected around the top of her study, she has a row of gift boxes covered in floras with all her favorite magazines. She just can’t seem to throw away anything. In all her organized madness she is also a gatherer of note.
In her linen cupboard she used gift boxes to sort her pillow case, dainty crochet doilies, sheets, towels and tablecloths. All these boxes are lined with tissue paper that she prepared with aromatic oils to set of a lovely fragrance when you open them.
Aluminium tins are used in the kitchen to keep flower, rice and other foodstuff fresh and tidy. She decorated Aluminium tins as sugar, tea and coffee holders. To add to the ambiance the used round Aluminium tins on her counter for utensils, knifes, forks and spoons.
Her store room looks like a show room with gift boxes in all different shapes and sizes to store odds and ends I’m sure she will never use again, but just have to keep for one day.
One day she said with a twinkle in her eye, she wants to organize her husband’s garage. Somehow I don’t think it will be soon.
