1. Think Ahead: Keep Only What Brings You Joy
Were there a few ornaments or decorations this year that didn’t spark joy? It might be time to let them go! Consider donating or repurposing items that no longer fit your style. At Gigi Seasons, we believe your holiday décor should reflect you and bring happiness every time you look at it.
Pro tip: Pack the decorations you’ll want first next year—like your tree stand or favorite lights—at the top of your storage bins or in easy-to-reach spots.
2. Tame the Tangle: Find a System for Lights
Christmas lights are the ultimate love-hate relationship. They bring the magic, but they can also bring the knots! This year, try a storage solution that keeps them organized and protected. Whether you use a cord reel, wrap them around cardboard, or store them in individual bags, make sure the bulbs are secure to avoid next year’s dreaded “half-lit strand” situation.
3. Protect Your Ornaments: Handle with Care
Your ornaments tell the story of your holidays—each one deserves a little extra care. Use tissue paper, bubble wrap, or foam to cushion fragile pieces, and group similar shapes together. Store them in small boxes within larger bins, and always place them on top of heavier décor to keep them safe.
4. Label, Label, Label!
Save yourself the headache of searching through box after box next year by labeling everything clearly. Whether you use clear totes or traditional cardboard boxes, knowing exactly where your garlands, tree skirts, and ornaments are stored will make decorating next year a breeze.
