However, here are some hacks that are totally a bang for your buck. Enjoy!

Christmas Wrapping Paper Organisation

Organise a wrapping paper station while the holidays are still a long way to go.

 A tad helpful! No wrinkled wrapping paper anymore! 

 With these multi-purpose trays, organising your wrapping paper and other stuff would be easy-breezy. 

 Yep, this hook-and-pole setup is a lot of help. 

 And this plastic container with mini receptacles to hold your ribbons is also a must-have. 

 Not so frugal but a gift-wrapping corner like this could definitely help. May it be Christmas, Valentines, birthdays or anniversaries. 

 This wrapper holder is a fancy addition to your home. I mean, really. 

 

Yep, a plastic cabinet with labels will do nicely! 

And THIS.

Christmas Decoration Organisation

Sort your Christmas balls by colour and place them inside different translucent boxes. 

Wind up your Christmas lights in wide sheets of cardboard or cartons. 

Or you could place those pesky (and shiny!) balls inside a used egg tray. 

Or in apple containers. 

Or your could leave the balls hanging. Lol!

Place Christmas chains inside a huge plastic bottle. 

Or put them inside plastic cups before putting them inside the boxes. Serves like a tray. 

These multi-purpose plastic boxes are really useful for organising your Christmas decorations. 

Christmas Tree Storage

Not really a hack but your precious Christmas tree should be placed in this red bag with wheels right after the holidays.

Or remove bulbs from their sockets and place them inside mason jars.

You could also use your old hangers as a Christmas lights organiser. 

Or choose to have bendy hangers instead.

These wooden pegs could also help you out.
