Christmas Storage - What to do with decorations and ornaments?



Christmas is the greatest time of the year.  People all over the world name Christmas as their favorite holiday.  There’s just something about that time of the year.  Maybe it’s because kids are out of school, maybe it’s cause of the upcoming presents, or maybe it’s because you get to spend a lot of time with your family.  Whatever the reason is for you, one thing is undisputable, decorating the Christmas tree is one of the best feelings you can have.  But what does everyone do with the Christmas ornaments when Christmas is over?  Do you throw them away and buy them again the following year?  If so, that must get pretty expensive.  Why not save those ornaments and re-use the same ones every year?  Well if you’re like me, and you like to save money, that’s exactly what you’ll do.  And to do that, you’ll need to have some storage bins to put the ornaments in and get out of the way.



You can walk into my garage any day of the week and you will see plenty of plastic storage bins lining the walls and floors.  I don’t believe in wasting money, and that’s why I keep bins around.  Without these bins I wouldn’t be able to get all of my junk out of my way and it would lead to me throwing stuff out.  Now only some of my stuff is junk, but what about the stuff I don’t want to throw away?  Well that’s what I use these bins for.  

When Christmas is over, everyone is slightly depressed, and rightfully so.  But that doesn’t mean you need to get all Christmas related things out of the house and out of your mind!  Just start un-decorating your tree and put all of the ornaments into storage bins.  These storage bins will keep your parts safe from dust, particles and bacteria and will help save you money.

When next Christmas rolls around, I’m sure you’d love to be flushed with cash.  During the holidays, cash is vital.  Without money, you won’t be able to buy gifts for your family & friends, and that’s no fun.  Don’t waste your hard earned money buying the same Christmas ornaments every year.  Be smart, be frugal, and be happy… Use storage bins to keep these products tucked away in the garage!

Storage Bins for Tools and Supplies



Plastic Storage Bins & Containers are a critical component to leading a neat and organized life.  If you work with tools, you know exactly how difficult it is to keep all of them in a neat and clean space.  Typically, we don’t like to clean up after ourselves.  Usually, this means that we are always stuck searching and digging for the tools or parts that we currently nead.  What if you had specific storage bins that you used for specific tools?  Wouldn’t that make it easier for you to just toss your tools and parts into when you’re finished with them?

I think that if you want to be organized and keep track of your tools, you need to use plastic bins.  If you are going to start using storage bins, I think the best style is the stacking bins, which are also able to hang from panels or rails. If you had storage containers in your van or your office, wouldn’t you throw your stuff right in them when you were finished?  Simple storage solutions, such as stackable bins & containers, would be a great help with storing and organizing your parts.

A great feature about these stacking containers is that they can be divided.  You can keep items separated while being stored within the same bin.  These bins can be stacked on top of one another or they can even be hung on a louvered panel.  If you don’t need to stack or hang these bins, just use it as a stand-alone bin.
