Series: Organizing your Holiday Decor (Containers)

You just took out all of your Holiday decor.  Enjoy the happiness that all the merry and bright decorations bring to your home and space.  But eventually, you are going to put everything back, right? 

I want to make sure I help you think ahead and be on the lookout for what you may need to organize your items now and later. Take note that this is a list of items you’ll probably buy, but there are plenty of DIY versions of the following.  I’ll do another post soon on what DIY versions are out there for the following.  In the mean time, keep an eye out for the following sales!

Sales to be on the lookout for:

  • Wreath containers
  • Large plastic bags for wreaths (if you want to hang them vs. in containers)
  • Totes for the new stuff you got
  • Ornament boxes.  Ok, so here are my thoughts on ornament boxes.  They are wonderful IF you get the ones where each layer is separate and you can access each layer separately.  The boxes where you have to take the top layers off before you can access the bottom ones can be a pain in the behind.
  • Garland Storage Bags
  • Storage Reel for lights and garland (think what you put a water hose on so it spins in and out easily)   
  • A big roll of plastic wrap (the kind that professional movers have) to cover your tree with the ornaments OR a BIG bag to store your christmas tree. 
  • Gift wrapping stations

Where can I find these sales?

  • Your local home improvement stores
  • Home decorating stores
  • Facebook Marketplace
  • Craigslist
  • Neighbor-to-neighbor groups
  • Yard and Garage Sales
  • Estate Sales
  • Auctions

Let us know if you have found a great sale for any of the above mentioned items and where you found your deal!
