Device for storing gift wrapping articles
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a device for storing gift wrapping articles comprising: a hollow cylindrical body having open end portions and defining an inner surface and an outer surface between the open end portions; a pair of annular flanges extending radially outward from the outer surface at the open end portions; and a centerpiece disposed circumferentially along the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical body. The centerpiece comprises a central recess, and a plurality of cut out channels extending radially from the central recess to the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical body to form a plurality of truncated pie-shaped sections. The hollow cylindrical body is capable of holding multiple layers of a first gift wrapping article (multiple layers of ribbon) on the outer surface between the annular flanges. The truncated pie-shaped sections are flexible enough for removably receiving a second gift wrapping article (a wrapping paper roll) through the central recess.
