Christmas light storage made simple
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is right around the corner, and we can’t wait for all the gorgeous decorations, delicious treats, sparkling lights… and did we mention delicious treats? And while the holidays are a special time of year for all those reasons and more, there is the small and unpleasant matter of untangling the Christmas lights that formed into a giant messy ball since last season. But you don’t have to worry about what you’ll do with your tangled collection of lights ever again! Mini Mall Storage has tips and tricks for expert-level Christmas light storage that’ll make decorating for the season an absolute dream. Let’s get into it.
Specialized storage solutions
If you invest in a good set of Christmas lights, it makes sense to want to protect them while they’re in storage so they’ll be in good shape for years to come. But everyone knows what happens when you try to store multiple strings of lights, or any kind of wires, in the wrong container. Chaos somehow ensues, and the wires become crossed and tangled, creating a real pain to sort out. That’s where specialized storage solutions like storage reels or light boxes come in!
- Christmas light storage reels
There are a few different kinds of storage reels out there, from larger wheels to simpler handheld prongs that you wrap your lights around. Light reels come in varying degrees of fanciness, depending on your needs and budget. Which one you choose depends on how long or how bulky your string of lights is. Larger, wheel-like storage reels are typically better for longer strings of lights and have raised sides to offer added protection against impact during storage. A handheld prong might suffice if you have a smaller set.
- Christmas light storage boxes
Light storage boxes are plastic bins with several removable reels to wrap lights around. They do a great job of storing multiple strings of lights while also keeping them separated. They’re usually clear, so you can easily see what’s inside, making them a great option if you have several strings of Christmas lights that you need to keep organized and sorted. Bonus! Light storage boxes are easily stackable, making it easy to keep all your holiday decor organized all year round.
Christmas Storage
You may have accumulated a lot of stuff to achieve that perfect seasonal look, from twinkling lights and festive garlands to cherished ornaments and unique collectibles to seasonal hand towels and kitchen items. Invest in good-quality storage containers to keep your seasonal treasures organized and protected. Ornament boxes are perfect for safeguarding delicate ornaments. At the same time, sturdy storage bins can accommodate larger items like wreaths and artificial trees.
Once the holiday season wraps up, carefully package all your holiday decor so it’s easy to identify and ready for use again next year. Make Christmas light storage a breeze by investing in specialized solutions like reels or boxes to protect your lights and keep them tangle-free.
