Putting away Christmas décor might not be the highlight of your holiday season, but take cheer. With the right storage containers, packing up your tree, wreaths, and stockings is quick and easy. Read on for our simple holiday storage ideas, then sit back and enjoy the new year.
Artificial Christmas Tree Storage
Your Christmas tree might be artificial, but it still requires a little TLC to keep it looking its best. Christmas tree storage bags are an easy way to keep your artificial tree clean and dry in the off season. If you have the space, opt for a vertical storage bag with built-in tree stand – these styles preserve your tree’s shape and will lead to less fluffing next year. Suitcase style bags, however, work as well if you need to store your tree horizontally on a shelf. For more details, read our guide on how to store a Christmas tree.
Christmas Garland & Wreath Storage
Keep your Christmas wreaths in tip-top shape with sturdy wreath storage bags. These circular cases come in multiple sizes and are specifically designed to fit a single wreath. As for garland, invest in plastic storage boxes with locking lids. These boxes are ideal for stacking so you can save space and avoid crushing individual branches.
Christmas Ornament Storage
Christmas ornaments are often delicate, which unfortunately means they’re also easy to break. Christmas ornament storage boxes are designed with small cushioned compartments for individual ornaments and a sturdy outer casing. Separating ornaments also means less time detangling messy strings and paper clips next year.
Christmas Light Storage
Christmas light storage reels are the gift that keeps on giving. Similar to a spool of thread, these reels keep string lights from tangling in storage – a huge holiday win! Pair these reels with a clear plastic container to keep everything clean and in one place.
Wrapping Paper Storage
Keep your wrapping paper, ribbon, scissors, and tape in one place with a Christmas wrapping organizer. These suitcase-style designs are portable and easy to store in a closet or spare room. If you’re short on space, however, opt for a clear plastic container you can store under the bed.
