Holiday Decoration Storage with Valley Storage
Handle Trees With Care
A Christmas tree is one of the many holiday decorations that need to be securely packed in their boxes to avoid damage. If your artificial tree can move inside its box, its branches could bend and needles could fall off. Take your time folding in the branches and condensing the tree. Wrap the tree in bubble wrap or twine to hold it together and protect the limbs as you move it into the box and pack the box away.
Pack Ornaments in Padded Boxes
Ornaments are highly breakable, especially if you have heavier materials like glass. More fragile ornaments should be wrapped individually in bubble wrap or newspaper. Plastic ornaments should stay OK as long as you include some padding so they cannot crash around. You can use towels, old t-shirts, and other supplies that are already in your home to fill the extra space in the boxes.
Wrapping Paper and Gift Bags
Whether you choose to store your wrapping supplies at home or in your storage unit, you should pack your supplies in a moisture-proof bin. It will keep your paper products’ quality intact for when you need it again. We recommend storing away in self storage the holiday decorations that you use only once a year, so you can leave your immediate storage space free for important day-to-day belongings.
