Last year, Annie dug up holiday ornament storage that’s actually attractive (see Holiday Storage Solution: A Non-Plastic Box for Ornaments). The boxes she found were tasteful, minimalist, and kitsch-free. This year, I set out to find more such boxes. The bulk of the storage products I came across, though, were unappealing and hokey—with the exception being ones from the Container Store. (Incidentally, it’s also where Annie found hers.)
Here, five fine storage solutions from the Container Store, from cheap to luxe:
Budget DIY
Above: The Internet is teeming with DIY ideas for ornament storage—repurpose takeout containers; use disposable plastic cups; put them in egg cartons, etc. But I like the idea of enlisting corrugated glassware dividers for the job. The Container Store’s Glass Storage Kit comes with dividers and foam sheets, and can accommodate 24 short glasses—or 24 round ornaments; $8.99. (The Moving Box is $1.99.)
Above: The pros: The 2-Tray Ornament Storage Case is zippered, has a side compartment for garlands, and features two trays. The cons? It’s made of polyester. It’s $37.99.
Deluxe
Above: A deluxe archival version of Annie’s ornament boxes, the fiberboard Red Moire Archival Ornament Storage Box looks like a festively wrapped present and features two trays, one for smaller ornaments and another for larger sizes; $79.99.
