Assuming you have a fake tree of course!

If you have unwittingly thrown away the box it came in WTAF do you store it in???

Wrapped up in an old sheet and thrown in the attic.

I used to store my old tree in two super-large catering quality black bin liners. They must have lasted about 10 years! But then a branch fell off the tree and I dumped it when I moved house. The new tree still has its box Xmas Smile

I know it's early but the recycling has just been collected and I realised too late that it contained the tree bollocksing box!

Go to any supermarket, they are bound to have a big box hanging around..

Failing that, wrap it in a bin liner.

I use wine bottle boxes for putting the decorations in (always loads of them in the shop).

The box it came in.

deaconblue · 15/12/2011 12:12

I would wrap it in two bin bags end-to-end if I had lost the box

Esta3GG · 15/12/2011 12:19

large heavy duty garden bag

CurlyBoy · 15/12/2011 12:39

I put all the branches of each size in a plastic bag and then put all of them in a big box. Simplez!

samandi · 15/12/2011 12:39

Why would you throw away the box it came in?? I'd just use a bin liner if I did I guess.

Crosshair · 15/12/2011 12:41

We store ours in the box, if I didnt have the box probably a binbag at each end.

SpaghettiTwirlerPrancerVixen · 15/12/2011 12:41

I'd use a bin liner!

JazzAnnNonMouse · 15/12/2011 12:52

I don't know why!
Because I have a little baby (first time mum) and my head is preoccupied
Or
Because I was too excited to get the tree up that I just chucked it as I'm quite an impatient bum!
Take your pick Grin

Like my mother before me, bin liners

DeckTheHallsWithPopcornMice · 15/12/2011 12:59

Bin liner - seemples :)

DoMeDon · 15/12/2011 13:01

When I threw the box away, I used garden sacks. If I made same mistake again, I would buy one of those swishy xmas tree storage boxes.

ConnorCamden · 15/12/2011 13:05

The box it came on. It would never have crossed my mind to put it in anything other than that!

BiscuitNibbler · 15/12/2011 13:26

A Christmas tree storage bag. It is huge and I can also store the front door wreath, stair garland and other fake greenery in it. Best purchase ever.
