Make sure to follow our advice if you want to make sure your ornaments are protected in storage so you don’t have to worry about replacing them the following holiday season.

  • Group similar ornaments - ornaments that have similar size and theme should be put away together in the same box or container
  • Don’t skimp on containers - use ornament-specific packaging boxes and materials to minimize or prevent damage. You can buy boxes or even DIY your own
  • Wrap ornaments - you can use tissue or bubble wrap to wrap your ornaments to provide additional protection to your ornaments during storage
  • Proper storage - don’t store in extreme climates such as hot or cold temperatures and avoid moisture. Instead, put your ornaments in an area that is not only dry, but relatively cool such as a well ventilated basement or closet
  • Stacking your boxes - Put boxes with lighter, more fragile ornaments on top of boxes with sturdier ornaments

All of our ornaments come with ribbon, string, or metal rings so you can hang them as soon as they are received.
