The tree
For the safekeeping of baubles and
precious ornaments, professional
organiser and founder of Mise En
Place Anita Birges (@mise_en_place_
aus) swears by the Ezy Storage 31L
Christmas ornament box with dividers.
“The reason the ornament box works
well is the dividers can be moved
around, so they’re quite versatile,”
she says. “If you don’t have much
storage space in your home, use an
underbed storage box.” For an extra
layer of protection, line it with Wrap
& Move honeycomb paper wrap.

There’s a common tree-packing
error that leads to wasted space
and cupboard chaos. “The biggest
mistake people make is trying to
fit the Christmas tree back into the
box it came in,” says Anita. “The
way it’s packaged is the way for
it to be shipped, not for it to be
stored,” she explains. Instead, invest
in a dedicated storage box. The Ezy
Storage Christmas tree storage box
is a good solution as it has wheels and
a handle like a suitcase. “It doesn’t
have to be a two-person job and you
can actually lift it up on its side and
store it vertically or horizontally,” adds
Anita. A moisture absorber such as
Dampfree will reduce the likelihood of
mould or mildew inside the box. As you
dismantle the tree, use masking tape
to label each part, and if necessary,
string to hold branches in place.
The gift wrap
The key to storing wrapping paper
is to keep the Christmas designs
together. A purpose-built storage
container like the Ezy Storage
50.5L Christmas wrapping paper
box will keep your festive-themed
gift wrap safely tucked away. If you
appreciate the art of wrapping,
consider installing a DIY wrapping
station. “Put tension rods in a
cupboard and use them as long
spools for wrap and ribbon,” suggests
Anita. “Another great place to store
it is on the back of a door using
pocket organisers,” she says. “Cut
out the bottoms of a few pockets so
that the gift wrap slides in, and keep
your tools there, too.” Store a pair of
scissors and a sticky-tape dispenser
with your kit to save you time when
there’s wrapping to be done.
