Holiday storage tips
Are you doing the holiday hosting this year? If so, follow these tips to make things a little easier and a lot more organized:
- Plan ahead: School plays, work parties, family dinners, and other commitments eat up a lot of time. Track everything you’ll be attending and know what, if anything, you need to bring.
- Declutter and store: As you decorate your home, declutter along the way. Don’t need it? Get rid of it. Anything you do need to keep should be safely put away in a storage space.
- Don’t overbuy: Whether it’s for you or family and friends, don’t buy too much. That way, you keep more money in your pocket and more free space at home.
- Create a gift wrapping area: If you wrap gifts in the bedroom, kitchen, living room, and basement, you’ll have scissors, tape, and ribbon scattered all throughout your house. Dedicate one section of the house to handle your gift wrapping needs.
