This is a great way to fundraise around the holidays. The holidays are a busy time for many, offer to take something off their “to-do” list by providing a gift wrapping service. Folks wait while you wrap their gifts or, to save time, drop them off and pick them up later. This requires a fair amount of organization as you want to make sure that everyone gets all of their presents received. Set your prices according to the size of the wrapping needed.
Prep Steps:
1. Contact your local party store or craft shop and request a donation (or discount) on wrapping paper, tape, and ribbon.
2. Recruit volunteers to help wrap gifts.
3. Determine where the gifts will be wrapped
4. Determine how much you will charge to wrap each gift.
5. Create a system for wrapping gifts so that none get misplaced.
6. Advertise. Advertise. Advertise.
Materials Needed:
1. Wrapping paper
2. Scissors
3. Ribbon, tape
4. Table
5. Boxes
Helpful Hints:
• This is PERFECT during the holidays, or around Mother’s/Father’s Day, but advertise your service year round.
• Barnes & Noble frequently sponsors this service for local clubs and projects around the holidays. Check with your store manager to see if your local store participates.
