Self-storage units are ideal for holding seasonal items that you only need for a few months out of the year. If you have an abundance of holiday items, you may find that you need to retrieve many of them when the season begins in earnest. Whether you’re decorating your home, preparing for a getaway, or planning a few gatherings at home, you’ll want to make sure you have easy access to the following items that you can easily move in and out of storage throughout the season.

What to Move In & Out of Storage During the Holidays

1. Home Decor

Getting your home into the festive spirit may involve some serious decorating. Tinsel, ornaments, trees, and other decorative items can easily be packed away and put into self-storage units during the year. Make sure they’re properly labeled so you can quickly and easily retrieve all of them when it’s time to give your home a winter makeover.

2. Fine China

You want to put on a wonderful presentation befitting the season when you play host to holiday guests. Placing your fine china in secure self-storage during the year ensures that it’s in pristine condition when you need it for your next gathering of family and friends. Mark it “fragile” so that there’s no danger of damage when you’re transporting it.

3. Cozy Bedding

Gone are the days of lightweight sheets. When temperatures drop, the hefty comforters and cozy blankets take on prime importance. Adding these to your repertoire doesn’t have to be a laborious chore if you keep them in airtight vacuum bags in your storage rental. This will make it easy to store several large pieces without taking up much space.

4. Winter Gear

You don’t need to fill your closets and garage with winter gear when you barely cast a second glance their way during the rest of the year. Rental storage units are perfect for holding shovels, snow blowers, skis, sleds, winter sleeping bags, thermal products, ski bags, and other cold-weather essentials that you might need for your winter vacation or a day out with the family.

5. Warm Clothes

If your closets lack sufficient space for voluminous coats and countless scarves, sweaters, and gloves, you might consider placing them in a storage unit instead. You can stack and seal them in vacuum bags if you want to maximize space, or simply place them in plastic containers with snap-on lids. Remember to include cedar balls to keep clothes fresh during the year.
