Published: June 01, 2022

If you’re like most people, your holiday decorations are a hodgepodge of items that you’ve accumulated over the years. From garlands and wreaths to tree ornaments and lights, it can be tough to keep everything organized and in good condition.

But with a little planning and effort, you can pack up your holiday decor, so it stays safe and sound until next year. Here are some tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Greater Lehigh Valley on how to organize, pack and store your holiday decorations:

1. Start by sorting through all of your holiday decorations. Keep only those items that are in good condition and that you still enjoy using. Donate or discard anything that is broken or damaged.

2. Once you’ve sorted through your decorations, group them by type. For example, keep all of your tree ornaments together, all of your lights in one place, and so on.

3. Label each box of decorations so you know what goes where.

4. When it comes time to pack everything up, use smaller boxes for delicate items like glass ornaments and larger boxes for bulky items like garlands and wreaths.

5. Fill each box with packing material such as bubble wrap or tissue paper to help protect your decorations during storage.

6. Store your packed boxes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. A basement or attic is ideal.

By following these tips, you can organize, pack and store your holiday decorations so that they stay in great condition until next year. Ready for your own storage container? Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Greater Lehigh Valley a call today!
