As the festive season wraps up, the joy of unboxing Christmas decorations next year depends on how well you pack them away this year. Without proper storage, your cherished ornaments and artificial trees could be at risk of damage.
Let’s explore the top five common Christmas storage mistakes and how you can avoid them with our high-quality storage solutions.

Using Cardboard Boxes
The Problem: While they may seem like a convenient choice, cardboard boxes aren’t designed to withstand dampness or pests. Over time, they can collapse, leaving your decorations vulnerable to breaking or getting ruined.
The Solution: Upgrade to our Christmas Ornament Storage Chest. With space for between 72 and 96 ornaments, each snugly housed in its own compartment, it’s perfect for keeping your decorations safe from damage. The sturdy design ensures they stay in pristine condition year after year.
Poor Labelling
The Problem: Nothing’s worse than digging through unlabelled boxes to find a specific bauble or string of lights. Without clear labelling, set-up becomes chaotic and time-consuming.
The Solution: Keep your holiday decor organised with our Medium Ornament Storage Chest, which makes it easy to separate items by type or colour. Add clear labels, and you’ll know exactly where everything is when December rolls around.
Overpacking
The Problem: Squeezing too many decorations into one box increases the risk of breakage. Fragile items, like glass ornaments, are particularly susceptible.
The Solution: Avoid the heartbreak of broken baubles with our specially designed storage chests. With dedicated compartments for each ornament, there’s no need to overpack. Our storage chests are designed with efficiency in mind, keeping items separate and protected. For ease, we recommend our rolling storage chest with wheels and a handle.
Not Storing Artificial Trees Properly
The Problem: Artificial trees can last for years, but improper storage leads to bent branches, dust accumulation, and even mould.
The Solution: Invest in our Christmas Tree Storage Bags, designed for 6 ft to 7.5 ft trees. These durable bags provide a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and pests, ensuring your tree stays fresh and ready to dazzle every year.
Forgetting About Accessibility
The Problem: Stacking heavy boxes in hard-to-reach places makes decorating more stressful than it needs to be. Decorations buried at the back of a loft or garage may not even see the light of day!
The Solution: Store smart with stackable solutions. Our storage products are designed for convenience, allowing you to keep everything tidy and accessible. Place frequently used items at the front for easy access when the season begins.
