A device for storing wrapping paper, said device having a body with a width, the body having a front and a spaced apart opposite back, a left side and a mutually parallel and spaced apart right side, the left side and the right side being perpendicular to the front, the front, the back, the left side, and the right side joining to a planar base, an opening through the front providing access within the body, a lid placed upon the body and resting upon the front, the back, the left side, and the right side, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a spindle assembly within said body and oriented parallel to the width of said body;
• said spindle assembly having a centered shaft and at least three spindles, said at least three spindles equally spaced about said shaft and parallel to said shaft;
• wherein said spindle assembly is adapted to present a selected roll to a user of said device;
• and,
• wherein each of said spindles is adapted to release paper from a selected roll upon pulling by a user.

A device for storing wrapping paper comprising:

• a spindle assembly, having a centered square shaft and six spindles equally spaced about said shaft and parallel to said shaft;
• said shaft having an elongated, slender shape, a square cross section, a length, and two opposite ends;
• two mutually parallel and spaced apart covers, each cover having a flat, round shape;
• each of said ends of said shaft connecting to one cover;
• each of said spindles having an elongated, slender, cylindrical shape, a left end and an opposite right end, an end cap upon said left end and a movable cap upon said right end, and at least one grip;
• each of said covers having a center square aperture to receive said shaft and a plurality of round apertures in registration with each of said spindles;
• six gears, each of said gears entering of one said round apertures of one cover and connecting to each of said end caps, said gears being coplanar;
• a further six gears, each of said gears entering of one said round apertures of the other cover and connecting to each of said movable caps, said gears being coplanar and mutually parallel to the first of said six gears;
• two mutually parallel and spaced apart racks, each of said racks having a rounded internal opening, said opening having a plurality of teeth extending radially inward;
• wherein the plurality of teeth of one rack mesh with said six gears and the plurality of teeth of the other rack mesh with the further said six gears;
• wherein said spindles rotate simultaneously and in the same direction and said spindle assembly rotates in one direction;
• two mutually parallel and spaced apart plates, each of said plates having flat, round shape;
• each of said plates having a center square aperture to receive said shaft and a plurality of round apertures in registration with said plurality of round apertures in one of said covers;
• one of said plates receiving six of said gears each of said gears entering of one said round apertures of one of said plates;
• the other of said plates receiving the further six of said gears and each of said gears entering of one said round apertures of the other of said plates;
• said shaft extending outwardly through the center square aperture of each plate;
• each of said racks having at least one pawl operatively engaging one of said gears;
• two knobs, one of said knobs connecting to said shaft proximate one of said plates, and the other of said knobs connecting to said shaft proximate the other of said plates, said knobs cooperating with said plates, said racks, said gears, and said covers to rotate said spindle assembly as a user turns at least one of said knobs;
• six rectangular docks arrayed upon one cover in registration with said movable caps of said spindles;
• each of said movable caps having a rectangular recess that receives one of said docks in cooperative engagement wherein said movable cap remains upon said dock during usage until a user separates said movable cap form said dock for loading wrapping paper upon one of said at least three spindles;
• wherein said spindle assembly is adapted to present a selected roll to a user of said device;
• and,
• wherein each of said spindles is adapted to release wrapping paper from a selected roll upon pulling by a user.
