Abstract
A portable gift wrapping center includes a storage compartment having a storage area for accommodating rolls of wrapping paper and accessories. A primary lid is hinged to the back wall of the compartment and defines a centrally located shallow storage area for writing paper, cards, etc., with the top surface of the primary lid defining a plurality of orthogonal grooves. A secondary lid, hinged to the primary lid, for enclosing the shallow storage area. A plurality of foldable legs are hinged to the bottom wall of the compartment to allow the table to be raised to a desired height in the deployed position or stored under a conventional bed in the retracted position.

A portable gift wrapping/stationary center for storing wrapping and stationary supplies and facilitating their use comprising:
- a) a rectangular storage compartment having a bottom wall and front, rear and side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall and terminating in a peripheral rim;
- the storage compartment including a main storage area for accommodating a plurality of rolls of wrapping paper;
- b) a primary lid hinged to the back peripheral wall of the compartment for pivoting between an open and a closed position and defining a additional centrally located shallow open storage area therein for holding sheets of writing paper, cards and writing instruments, the top surface of the primary lid defining a plurality of orthogonal grooves therein;
- c) a secondary lid hinged to the primary lid for enclosing the storage area formed within the primary lid, the top surface of the primary and secondary lids providing a flat work surface for supporting an article to be wrapped;
- and
- d) a plurality of foldable table legs pivotally connected to the bottom wall of the compartment adjacent the side walls to allow the table to be raised to a desired table height or folded to allow the table assembly to be stored under a conventional bed.
A portable table assembly for storing wrapping paper and accessories and facilitating the use thereof comprising:
- a) an integrally molded rectangular storage compartment having a bottom wall with front, back, and opposed side walls extending upwardly from the bottom and terminating in a rim defining an open top, the storage compartment providing a main storage area for accommodating rolls of wrapping paper and at least one separate storage area for accommodating a utility module, the storage compartment defining at least one receptacle on a side wall thereof;
- b) at least one lid hinged to the back peripheral wall of the compartment and forming a top flat work surface with orthogonal grooves therein;
