Yearly once I go to drag out my vacation decor, I’m met with simultaneous emotions of pleasure and dread. I stay up for adorning my dwelling with my treasured objects for the season, however inevitably brace for the likelihood that they’ve endured a knock or blow from being positioned in storage the previous yr. Certain, accidents occur, but when they are often prevented with higher, smarter storage choices I’m undoubtedly on board with that.
Particularly, my breakable Christmas collectible figurines don’t have a devoted house. When storing my cherished Mistletoe Santa figurine that my mother-in-law gave to me and my husband on our first Christmas as a married couple, I do my finest to wrap it nicely in tissue paper earlier than inserting it in a plastic tub with many different vacation objects. I deal with my nativity glass snow globe my husband gave me earlier than we had been married the identical approach. I admit storing breakables in a field with varied different ornamental vacation objects is just not one of the simplest ways.
Enter: The Simplify Vacation Figurine Statue Storage Field, made expressly to guard vacation breakable collectible figurines. I just lately tried this field out as I introduced objects out. I wished to see if it could work nicely for storage after the season. I instantly appreciated fairly a couple of particulars about this field for storing treasured vacation collectible figurines.
First, it was simple to place collectively. I simply popped it out of the plastic wrap, folded out the cardboard to make the field, and positioned the inserts, that are very thick and durable. It was very roomy — it could actually match eight collectible figurines — which is handy you probably have a number of fragile objects to retailer. Moreover, it’s extremely light-weight. I’ve excessive cabinets that my vacation packing containers are on in my basement, so lifting heavy ones is just not on my to-do checklist in the course of the vacation season, and fortunately it should by no means be with this discover.
As a result of I solely have 4 breakable collectible figurines, I plan to put smaller objects into the remaining slots, comparable to a framed needlepoint Nutcracker my aunt made and a few giant spherical glass ornaments (I do plan to make use of bubble wrap or tissue paper to cushion them throughout storage) which have additionally been rolling round in a plastic storage bin.
I additionally liked that I didn’t must wrap something in tissue paper or bubble wrap, because the partitions of the inserts have sufficient padding to maintain objects secure. Nonetheless, if you’re involved with any motion, you definitely can wrap the whole lot, like I did with the smaller objects.
The one disadvantage I discovered was that one of many heirloom Santas handed down from my husband’s grandmother was barely too tall for the field. I’ll nonetheless retailer it there, although, and simply cope with a slight elevate on one aspect of the field. In any case, there may be nothing I plan to retailer on prime of the field on my vacation storage shelf, so the truth that it was barely too tall wasn’t an enormous concern.
