How to set up a gift wrapping station

A gift wrapping station is a great way to save yourself loads of time and effort rushing around the house looking for supplies when you need to quickly wrap a gift or write a card. 

The clip-on basket system is an easy and effective way to keep everything neat and organised and easily accessible, so you can always find what you're looking for. It is also a great space-saver as it doesn't take up much storage space, we have ours on the back of a cupboard door! Check out the video for an in-depth look at how I set up our gift wrapping station and organise our supplies.

How to stay on top of organisation during times of change

Any change to your normal routine can really throw a curveball at how you approach your day and can wreak havoc on your attempts to maintain a state of 'organised calm' in your life. Sometimes even the smallest change in circumstances requires some sort of adjustment to your routine. 

But it's those significant life events that make the biggest impact, such as moving house, marriage, divorce, having children, children moving out, working from home, a new job, downsizing, renovating, illness or loss of a loved one. Without a doubt, these events will impact on how your home organisation, whether you had great systems set up beforehand or not.
