PREPARING FOR HOLIDAY STORAGE: HOW TO STORE DECORATIONS & GIFTS SAFELY

Holiday Storage


Storing Holiday Items

The holiday season brings joy, festivities, and an abundance of decorations and gifts. However, after the celebrations, the challenge of storing everything safely begins. Proper storage is crucial to ensuring your cherished holiday items stay in excellent condition, ready for next year’s celebrations. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to store your holiday decorations, gifts, and more effectively—with some help from Modern Storage®. 1. Sort and Declutter Before packing, take the time to sort through your decorations and gifts. This is the perfect opportunity to declutter and donate items you no longer need. Create three distinct piles: Keep: Items you love and will use again. Donate/Sell: Decorations or gifts in good condition that no longer fit your style or needs. Trash: Broken or worn-out items that can't be repaired. Sorting ahead of time reduces clutter and ensures you’re only storing what matters most. 2. Clean Before You Store Dust off ornaments, wipe down surfaces, and wash any fabric items such as tablecloths or stockings before storage. This prevents dirt, dust, and mold from building up while in storage. A little extra care now will ensure your decorations are fresh and ready when you retrieve them next holiday season. 3. Label Everything and Use Quality Packing Materials Effective labeling is essential for hassle-free holiday storage. Label each box or bin with specific descriptions like "Christmas Lights," "Ornaments," or "Gift Wrapping Supplies." This helps you find items quickly when you need them. Investing in quality packing materials is also crucial: Plastic Bins: Opt for clear, lidded bins to easily see the contents. These durable containers protect against moisture and pests. Bubble Wrap & Tissue Paper: Use bubble wrap for fragile ornaments and tissue paper for delicate decorations to prevent damage and breakage. At Modern Storage®, we provide climate-controlled units that protect your items from moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring that even your most fragile holiday decorations remain in top condition. 4. Store Gifts Wisely If you purchase gifts in advance, storing them correctly ...
