Any suggestions of what kind of storage to get for wrapping paper? I found a bunch on Amazon, but most of them only hold the short rolls, and I have quite a few long rolls. I'm not too worried about being able to store bows/tags/etc in there. Also, I would preger if possible to have a hard case type storage, as I will likely be moving long-distance soon. TIA!
Re: wrapping paper storage
This is what I use. I think I got them at Wal-Mart. I have one for birthday/special occasion paper and one for Christmas. I love that they slide under our futon easily, so they stay put away.

I measured my longest roll and bought a rubbermaid type bin that it would fit in.
I have two, one for Christmas wrap and another for all of the other wrap.
They look almost exactly like this. I think I picked them up at Target.

This...I actually fold up bags put them on the bottom, along with the gift tags. Then I put the rolls of wrapping paper on top. And put the tape, scissors, pens, etc into the left over space.
Then I put it under the bed in the guest room.
there's a pic floating around on pinterest about using an ikea plastic bag holder mounted to the wall for storage. Here's a pic:

I personally use a square plastic garbage can (never used for garbage, of course!) and just stick the wrapping paper in it...then I have a separate storage bin for things like bags, tissue paper, bows, etc. But I recently watched this video on Youtube...
...and at roughly 4:30, she has this white back-of-door rack that seems like it could hold any size of wrapping paper roll...*drool* It looks either like DIY thing she created, or something from The Container Store.
