Ohh great question Amy! I know my Christmas stuff is in a cardboard box in the attic and needs to be checked this month to see if I need any more.

I love the idea of something like this http://www.aplaceforeverything.co.uk/shop/index.php?page=932&ret=41&searched=%2Bgift+%2Bwrap as it seems to be quite rigid and has different sections for ribbons, bows etc - I tried to find a similar product in the US and this is the nearest I could find http://www.amazon.com/Iris-Gift-Wrap-Storage-Box/dp/B000YURP72/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_8 

I'm not so keen on the hanging organizers, I find they tear after a while - what does everyone else use?

Great question and perfect timing with the holidays coming up.

I like the boxes, the ones that slide under a bed are great, they save space and keep everything neat and together.

If a bed is too close to the ground to slip the thin box underneath then bed risers work wonders.

A large Gift bags -- I put the smaller gift bags inside. Another gift bag has paper and tags. A shoe box has tissue paper in it. All go in the closest.

I put mine in a tall round plastic laundry hamper in the basement. It works great for rolls and they stay corralled! The bows can go into a zip baggie since they fall allover and that can just fit right in the hamper too...or the bows could go into a shoebox or those plastic stacking drawers. That's where I keep my ribbons.
