Four reasons why self storage units are perfect at Christmas time

Nov 19. 2015

In the run up to and during Christmas, you may find your home becoming more and more cramped with more items and people filling up the space. That is why self storage may be a good option for you. Here are four reasons why self storage units are perfect at Christmas time.

1. We all enjoy a surprise. Equally we all dread the moment of trying to hide presents when our kids climb on top of the wardrobe to establish precisely what they have for Christmas. It also doesn’t help when online sites actually tell your kids all the places you’re likely to try and hide their presents. If you rent a self-storage unit you won’t need to worry – even if they know you’ve got it, they can’t get in!
2. You might have a room in your house where you normally store your extra Christmas goods. However, if you’re like me, you’ll have been using the same space all year to store things that you’ve ‘tidied up’ or bought but only use from time to time. It would be wise to de-clutter in the build up to Christmas and use a small self storage unit to help create some much needed space. Once the festive season is over, you can either bring your things back to the house or keep them in the unit as part of your overall New Year clean out.
3. When the 12 days of Christmas is up, how many of us strip the tree, unclip the lights from the front of the house and stuff them in the nearest cupboard or wardrobe? How many people ruin their Christmas decorations because they don’t have a suitable storage solution? If you have a lot of decorations, a sizeable tree and other seasonal goods that aren’t going to be used, why not use a self-storage unit to keep them safe and damp free until next year?
4. Many of us play host to our families at Christmas. 2, 3 10 or maybe as many as 12 can arrive during the holiday period. Some stay for the day, others arrive on the 24th and leave three days later. However long they stay there are normally a host of bags and belongings that come with them. Whether it’s finding somewhere for them to sit or getting their things put away, your rooms become overcrowded. That problem could be solved if you declutter a week before Christmas and use a self-storage unit to create space in the short term.
