One review said: "I felt guilty about spending money on something that I could easily replicate with a cardboard box and bit of time, but I am so impressed with this box. I think it’s well worth the cost. Last year many of my vintage glass Christmas baubles didn't survive, and the box I used was full of bits of glass, and a complete nightmare to sort out. This year, the ones that survived are all stored in individual compartments, and I am sure they will be ok."

We have two wreaths and these usually just get chucked up the loft, it's nice to have an actual bag to put them in.
We previously had some problems with loft condensation over the cold winter and had to throw out many decorations that were ruined by water damage.

Remember, during the month of December, when our homes are filled with matching family pyjamas and merry decorations and gorgeous ornaments, it’s easy to forget that you’ll need to take them all down and put them away again (phew!). We get it, it might not be the jolliest thing to do, especially when you do not want the Christmas spirit to end.

The last thing you want to do is leap into mid-January and realise that your old storage boxesare broken, damaged and not useable anymore.

When thinking about storing your decorations, you’ll need to safeguard them from dust, grime, and perhaps even mice (you know how they can be). Don’t just toss it all into a cardboard box or a black bin bag – these aren’t the strongest of containers, and things like baubles could end up getting squashed.

Plus, these Christmas decorations were the products that gave our home that extra sparkle, so they deserve looking after.
