Gift Wrap & Card Bar

Wrap It Up & Spread Some Cheer!

Get ready to unwrap the fun! Our “Winter Card Bar & Gift Wrapping Station” is the perfect way for residents to tie up loose ends—and their gifts—with ribbons, laughter, and community spirit.

How to Host:

Set the Scene:
- Transform the clubhouse or community lounge into a cozy, festive workshop with tables for card-making and gift wrapping.
- Add warm lighting, soft holiday music, and a hot cocoa or cider bar to enhance the atmosphere.
Create the Card Bar:
- Provide blank cards, envelopes, markers, stamps, stickers, and festive paper (see shopping list below).
- Include a “Sentiments Station” with example greetings for inspiration.
Gift Wrapping Station Setup:
- Offer a variety of wrapping papers, ribbons, bows, tags, and tape.
- Encourage residents to bring a few small gifts to wrap for loved ones (or for donation if paired with a giving drive).

Why It works:

Encourages Connection: Residents mingle while crafting, sparking genuine conversation and community bonding.
Eases Holiday Stress: Provides a practical yet enjoyable outlet for last-minute wrapping and card writing.
Boosts Engagement: Fun, hands-on events create memorable experiences that strengthen resident satisfaction and retention.
Low Cost, High Impact: Simple supplies and decor go a long way in creating a warm, festive community vibe.
