It is never too early to get a jump on holiday shopping. According to the National Retail Federation, approximately forty percent of Americans begin their holiday shopping in October before Halloween. It makes sense to start your holiday shopping early because you may have to visit a lot of different stores, search for good buys, or you may have a lot of individuals to buy gifts for - and all of this takes a lot of time and money. For many gift givers, it is virtually impossible to do all of your holiday shopping in just a single weekend, or even a single week. Many people choose instead to spread their holiday shopping out over the two months leading up to the holiday season. Once you have purchased the perfect holiday presents, where are you going to keep them until the holidays? What if the presents are overly large, or awkwardly shaped, or are difficult to hide? What if you have a lot of gifts to store until the holidays? What if you have children who are notorious for snooping around the house for holiday gifts, or a significant other who has a bad habit for hunting around the house for hidden presents? If you want to keep your holiday presents a surprise this year, why not consider temporarily getting a storage unit where you can stash the presents until it's time to give them. Storage units are great for this reason because they allow you convenient access with convenient hours to make sure your gift-giving is kept secret. A Better Way to Store Decorations After the holidays always presents a challenge for people who like to decorate their homes. A storage unit isn’t great just for holiday preparation; it can also be helpful as you take down the tree after the season ends. Many people end up with a tangle of lights, an awkwardly sized christmas tree box, blow up lawn decorations, and random tubs full of bulbs, tinsel, and ornaments that your mother has gotten you for each year of your life. With all of these items, basements and garages always seem like the viable option, but storing your Christmas decorations in these places increases clutter and the likelihood of breakage. Instead, the better options is to a store them in a place that doesn’t make your house any busier than it already is. You also want to make sure they are in a convenient place where you constantly have access to them. The only place in Alhambra where you can keep your items for home decluttering while still having access to them is a storage unit. This options gives you peace of mind, the assurance that you items won’t break, and the most affordable option for your needs.
