4 Reasons to Use a Storage Unit this Holiday Season

Published: November 08, 2021

You may already know that a portable storage unit can benefit you if you’re moving, but did you know it can also make your life easier during the stressful holiday season?

The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day can be very hectic as you make time for shopping, cooking, hosting parties, and decorating for the holiday season. All these festivities can lead to a messy and cluttered home, while elevating anxiety instead of spreading holiday cheer. 

A local storage company like UNITS of Baltimore can serve as your secret helper this season. Here are four reasons to use a storage unit during the holidays.

Hide Christmas toys

If you have children who make it their mission to hunt in closets and basements for their Christmas gifts, hiding them in a storage unit is a great option. This is especially helpful if you do your Christmas shopping early to take advantage of deals, such as those offered during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Getting a unit early allows you to stow away items for as long as you need them hidden, so everyone can enjoy a big surprise on Christmas morning.

Make room for guests 

If you don’t host guests often, your spare room might have become a walk-in storage closet over the course of the year. You may use the room to store boxes, items you haven’t had the chance to install, or even allow your children to take it over as a playroom! 

If your family and friends plan to spend the night for the holidays, you’ll need to clear out the guest room to make space. It can be stressful trying to find places to put all the items that made their way to your spare room, especially if you don’t use the items frequently. You can save yourself time by placing loose, bulky items that you don’t need right now in a storage unit.

Declutter for events

We all want to make the best impression and keep a neat home for visitors and ourselves, so the holidays are a great time to finally move those appliances you purchased but haven’t set up, yet or those golf clubs you’re waiting to use in the spring. You can safely store infrequently used items that have been lying around into a new storage unit and even eliminate the travel time by requesting a portable one be delivered straight to your door. You’ll free up extra space in your living areas and take something else off your plate. 

Store decorations items after the holidays

When the holiday season is over, an affordable, weather-resistant storage unit is an excellent place to store your holiday decorations, gift wrap, boxes, and bows in a safe place for next year. Find a unit that’s large enough for your artificial Christmas tree, foliage, figurines, and lights so they stay organized and out of the way for the rest of the year. You’ll be relieved they’re all in one place next year and you don’t have to push them out the way as you search for other things you need more frequently in your basement or garage.
