2. Gift wrap holder

Create a pretty display of wrapping paper by stashing the rolls inside the Variera dispenser. You can also hang it inside the closet door for easy storage and access. Use another dispenser to store ribbons. You can poke the ends out of the holes.

3. Winter woolies

Keep all of your winter woolies together by storing them in the Variera. You’ll be able to see all of your gloves, scarves and hats and have easy access to them.

4. Organise cleaning supplies

Hang the Variera sideways and use it to store sponges, brushes and gloves. You can hang spray bottles from the holes.

5. Yoga mat and kit

The Variera bag dispenser is the perfect size for a rolled yoga mat. Hang it on the back of your door or inside your wardrobe.
