November. Darker nights and Christmas racing towards us at full speed. Whether you’re a stalwart partygoer or staying in by the fire, whether you’re a ‘Christmas starts early in our house’ or a ‘Christmas starts a week before and ends before New Year’, here are a few helpful nudges for our ‘Lifestyle Storers’ regarding what might go into and out of storage this month.
We can no longer hide from it. Despite the fact that we’re all feeling the pinch, the stores are all full of goodies and Christmas is upon us!
Lifestyle storers will want a massive declutter and move out one or two things into storage to make space for Christmas decorations and Christmas guests.
Some of our previous blog posts may help inspire you with the decluttering:
· Ten tips on the way to Decluttering Nirvana (with a hat tip to Marie Kondo, of course)
· Swedish Death Cleaning (A lot less gruesome than the name implies!)
With all of us feeling the pinch, keep an eye out on our blog for some tips on which sites are out there to sell on your preloved things that you are not putting into storage.
And of course, the end of the month is time for many to get out their Christmas decorations, test the fairy lights’ bulbs, dust down the tinsel, wipe over the table decorations and generally prepare. (Some prefer to wait until two weeks before Christmas to put up those decorations – your Christmas, your choice!)
Of course, if you’re simply pragmatic about things and want to limit yourself to one storage run only this month, you may prefer to wait until your Black Friday goodies have arrived. (Yes, that annual money saving ‘spendfest’ is upon us on Friday November 25.)
Where better to hide those presents from the prodders and the shakers than in your storage unit?
Fireworks should never be held in a self-storage unit.
There is some sound advice on their proper storage here: How to store your fireworks at home safely and legally.
