Christmas Ornament Storage TipsÂ
When removing the ornaments from your Christmas tree, it’s a good idea to have some tissue or bubble wrap on hand. It’s important to wrap fragile ornaments and baubles in an extra layer of protection to keep them safe inside your chosen storage box. Our decoration and ornament storage boxes include dividers to prevent movement and accidental chipping. Â
Â
Pro-tip: Put ornaments with similar colours and themes together in the same area of your storage box to make it easier when decorating next Christmas. Â
Â
How to Organise and Store Christmas LightsÂ
Tree lights are the most problematic type of Christmas decoration. They always get tangled, no matter how much you try to do to stop it. Always detangle your Christmas lights before packing them and take the time to test your lights to ensure they’re all working. Change out any broken light bulbs and use a light reel to help neatly wrap the strings together. Place your Christmas lights back into their original box or ornament bag. Â
Â
Storing Christmas Wreaths and GarlandsÂ
Wreaths and garlands can easily get damaged or lose their shape if not stored correctly. A waterproof wreath and garland storage bag keeps them protected and in good condition.Â
 Â
Â
If you have multiple storage bags for wreaths and garlands, add a label to the front of your bag to make it clear which items are inside. It’s a good idea to add tissue paper between your wreaths and garlands, especially if they have baubles or decorations with glitter or sequins.Â
Â
How to Make Next Christmas Easier with Storage TipsÂ
Make it easier to find your decorations next Christmas by clearly labelling everything. We recommend storing your Christmas tree and decorations in a cool, dry area of your home to protect them against dampness. Stack the heaviest boxes at the bottom and take extra care with fragile baubles. Â
