Abstract: A device and method for storing wrapping materials, measuring and cutting wrapping paper with a cutting tool, and hand wrapping items. The device includes a platform with a work surface having a pair of sides and grooves at predetermined locations between the sides. The platform is supported at a predetermined height by a plurality of storage compartments. Some of the storage compartments have been adapted for holding wrapping paper, some include drawers adapted for holding related materials and tools. The device allows a user to take an item to be hand wrapped and place it over the surface, where an amount of wrapping paper to be used to cover the item to be hand wrapped can be determined from the numbered grooves on the work surface. The amount of wrapping paper to be used may be cut by sliding the cutting tool along said grooves.
