Preparing for the Holidays: Seasonal Storage Solutions in Oklahoma

Fall is finally on its way! Now that the nights are growing cooler and the days are becoming shorter, everyone across Oklahoma recognizes the signs: The holiday season is fast approaching.

Halloween kicks off the holiday season, and many people already have their skeletons, ghosts, tombstones, and cobwebs ready to go for the spookiest night of the year. From there, we quickly transition to Thanksgiving, the winter holidays and Christmas, and then finally New Year’s Eve! All these wonderful festivities are a lot of fun, but they also bring with them a sea of inevitable clutter in the form of decorations, costumes, ornaments, gifts, wrapping paper, and all the stuff you need to have on hand when you have guests over. Fortunately, this is where self-storage in Oklahoma can save the day, ensuring that each celebration is seamless, joyous, and clutter-free!

Why Self-Storage is the Holiday Gift You Need

Imagine the holidays without the clutter. You’ll no longer experience the stress that comes with finding that one box of special ornaments or the frustration of trying to untangle that knot of holiday lights. You’ll have plenty of space for everything with room left over to host guests and prepare holiday feasts. You can have all that and more with a little help from Storage ‘R’ Us!

As we head into the busy holiday season, Oklahoma self-storage offers you the perfect solution. Think of it as a holiday haven—a place to organize and store your cherished seasonal items until their time in the spotlight arrives. As the bats and witches come down and the trees and tinsel go up, you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips, always right where you need it, and always out of the way.

Anticipate the Arrival of Guests

The holidays mean more than decorations and gifts. They mean family gatherings, often with friends and loved ones flocking together from all over the country to join the festivities. With everyone coming over, though, our homes need to be guest-ready, both inside and out.

For starters, this means ensuring that there’s ample parking space, especially when wintry weather looms. Shifting the boat, jet skis, garden equipment, and pool paraphernalia from the garage may be essential, and you can put all that and more in Oklahoma self-storage, ensuring your guests have space and your belongings remain protected from the elements. But parking is only the first step of preparing for holiday guests. You may also want to clear out that guest room or open up space in the hall closet for winter coats. Not to worry!  Self-storage can help with that, too!

Secret Santa’s Workshop

Do your kids always manage to find all their presents, no matter how well you hide them? Not anymore! While you’re at it, say goodbye to those last-minute gift-wrapping sessions and say hello to organized, stress-free preparations. Sure, they still might happen after midnight on Christmas Eve, but we don’t judge.

A climate-controlled storage unit can not only help keep surprise gifts safe from prying eyes, but it can also act as a personal gift-wrapping headquarters. Making gifts for some of the folks on your list? You can use your storage unit as Santa’s workshop to craft to your heart’s content—all without your prospective recipients being any the wiser.

Factors to Consider for Seasonal Storage

Self-storage in Oklahoma can be a lifesaver in so many ways, but like most things, you get out of it what you put into it. You’ll want to consider certain factors to help optimize your seasonal self-storage experience. Here are a few:

• Climate-Controlled Storage – Depending on what you’re planning to store, you may want to invest in a climate-controlled solution. These can help protect your most precious belongings from the extremes of temperature and humidity that often come with the holiday season in Oklahoma.
• Drive-Up Access – If you’re planning to unload a Christmas tree or some of those larger lawn decorations, you may want to ensure that you’ve got a unit that offers drive-up access. This means that you can pull right up to the door of your unit, which makes loading and unloading a breeze!
• Outdoor Vehicle Storage – The holiday season is the off season for most boats, RVs, and many other large vehicles. Fortunately, Storage ‘R’ Us also offers outdoor vehicle storage that can help get them out of the way while still ensuring that they’re ready for their next adventure!
• Moving and Packing Supplies – To get the most out of your storage unit, you’ll want to keep your stuff organized. Most self-storage facilities sell packing and moving supplies, such as cardboard boxes, labels, markers, or packing tape. The staff can help with recommendations for how best to store your belongings.
