18 Brilliant Storage Gems That'll Organize All Your Christmas Decorations (Including the Tree!)

"Here's one lesson I learned the hard way: Invest in appropriate storage for your holiday decor. I used to shove my decorations (ornaments, twinkle lights, garland, etc.) haphazardly wherever they fit in my small apartment. But when it came time to set them up the following year, I either couldn't find what I was looking for, found them covered in dust, or, worse, damaged beyond repair - which led me to spend more money in the long run."

"Because ornaments come in all shapes and sizes, you'll want to look for modular storage pieces that can be adjusted to fit all the pieces in your collection (think: containers with adjustable dividers, or bins with stackable trays that you can add or remove as needed). How to Store Christmas and Seasonal Wreaths One thing you don't want to do is try and squeeze your wreath in a square box. It'll lose its shape and you'll risk damaging any of the delicate baubles on top. Instead, go for a round storage bag sized right for your wreath. Bonus points for ones made of a resilient, moisture-proof material!"

"How to Store Christmas Trees There are a couple of things worth considering when shopping for Christmas tree storage. Think about where you typically store your tree and how much space you have. Depending on your limitations, the right tree storage may require disassembly. You may also want a bag with wheels for easy maneuvering if you store your tree in a separate location, like a storage unit or basement."

Invest in appropriate storage for holiday decor to avoid lost, dusty, or damaged items and unnecessary replacement costs. Use modular storage pieces with adjustable dividers or stackable trays to accommodate ornaments of varying shapes and sizes. Store wreaths in round bags sized to preserve their shape and choose resilient, moisture-proof materials to protect delicate decorations. Consider where trees are stored and available space; some trees require disassembly for storage. Use a wheeled tree bag when storing trees in distant locations like basements or storage units to simplify handling.
