Extra Space Storage offers Secrecy for Santa’s Helpers

Extra Space Storage has always provided families with a place to store their treasures, but this holiday season they also offer a way to keep gifts secret from nosey loved ones.

“We’ve discovered that our storage units are the perfect place to wrap holiday gifts, or keep wrapped and unwrapped gifts. They’ve become a secret workshop for Santa’s helpers,” said Buck Brown, SVP Marketing for Extra Space Storage. “Whether you have big-ticket items or snooping kids, the secret hiding spot allows local families to keep the element of surprise this holiday.”

According to Brown, Extra Space Storage has facilities for both residential and commercial storage solutions, including seasonal needs. The self-storage units are perfect for holiday decorations, such as the 8-foot, pre-lit Christmas tree. In addition, the units provide a convenient storage space for businesses in need of a space to keep additional holiday inventory.

Before packing up the decorations, consider these holiday storage hints:

1. Wrap your Christmas tree with plastic or put garbage bags over it to keep the dust off.

2. Save tubes from wrapping paper and wrap strings of light around the tubes. Make small slits at the ends of the tube in order to properly secure the plug.

3. Store ornaments in bubble wrap, old towels or egg cartons.

4. Be wary of storing light colored decorations in newspapers; the ink may bleed.

5. Place candles in old socks to keep from being scratched.

6. Label boxes of decorations for easy unpacking next holiday season.

7. Hang wreaths by nails or store in hard containers to maintain shape.

8. Wind up ribbons and pin at end to prevent knotting.

9. Dispose of damaged Christmas lights before storing; it will be harder to remember which ones don’t work next year.

10. Put Christmas tree stand and decoration essentials in a box labeled “Open First.”

Extra Space Storage, the second largest self-storage organization in the United States, offers a safe, convenient place to store goods at reasonable rates and with professional service. The properties have trained, professional on-site resident manager, state-of-the-art video surveillance and alarm systems.
