Do you know what time it is? It's the holiday season between Christmas and New Year's. Festive seasons are full of cheer and surprises. It is an opportunity to gather friends in one location after a long day. We crave togetherness and wait for a tear.
The exchange of gifts is the mainstay of festival celebrations. Presents, decorations, family stays, and, in general, less storage in your home can be a significant issue.
What is the answer? Self-storage appears to be the answer. You can store gifts and unused or extra items. If you plan to be a host, Storage Choice Gladstone may be able to help.
Here are six reasons why self-storage can be a lifesaver during the holiday season
Clear the way for overnight guests
Spare rooms are frequently overrun with clutter. Excess furniture and unused belongings can store in a self-storage unit to make more room. It allows you to roll out the trundle beds, saving your guests from having to book a hotel room or sleep on the couch. It also means you'll have more time to spend with your loved ones – and less time tripping over their luggage on the living room floor!
Make room for entertaining
It can be not easy to seat everyone at the same table or even in the same room when you have a large family. Remove any sideboards, desks, or shelves that aren't used to keep everyone together. Leave them at a self-storage facility until the party is over. You'll gain a lot of space – and Aunt Doris will no longer have to sit at the children's table!
Keep gifts away from children
We understand how difficult it is to conceal gifts from children, especially when they are significant. So, where do you hide that dollhouse or bike without being discovered? A storage unit! It's small, inexpensive, and easy to access, and having a bike-shaped present sitting in the garage won't ruin the surprise.
Store decorative
Christmas decorations occupy a lot of room. You might have two trees, boxes of decorations, fairy lights, and lawn reindeer cutoutsBut what happens when you're done with them? Consider long-term self-storage if your storage spaces are small or humid. Your decorations will be free of dust and moisture – and far away from prying fingers that could break them.
Seasonal furniture should store
When guests arrive, you can never have enough tables and chairs. Please place them in a self-storage unit to keep them clean and out of the way.
Keep valuables secure
It can be devastating when someone breaks an heirloom vase or spills a drink on your favorite rug. Remove any treasured items that could be damaged, stolen, or lost by children or unruly guests to avoid this. Place them in temporary storage until the holidays are over.
Do you require a cost-effective and secure storage solution?
There's no denying that the festival season can be stressful. However, you can reduce stress by using smart self-storage before, during, and after the event. It can help declutter spare rooms, expand entertaining areas, and protect valuables from damage. Contact our helpful staff if you need to store furniture, decorations, or gifts over the holidays. It makes accommodating parents or children during the holidays difficult. But don't stack them in a dusty garage or on an open verandah.
