Time to pack away the Christmas tree with these top 10 storage options
The silly season is officially done and the new year is here, which means it's time to take down the Christmas decorations – all of them, every last bit.
But perhaps the worst part, besides putting it all up in the first place, is finding a convenient, dry, dust-free place to keep all your baubles, tinsel and, of course, the massive tree for next Christmas.
Instead of chucking it all into a garbage bag and hoping for the best in 11 months time, why not invest in dedicated, more structured storage options. From ornament boxes, tree covers and festive bags for all your Christmas bits, your future self will thank you for keeping all your items together.
