Chaotic baubles

[Tiramisoon]

I’ve got a mixture of baubles but some of them have lots of sentimental value and I want to protect them. They aren’t uniform sizes. Every year I unpack them spread out over lots of different boxes, wrapped up with Christmas jumpers “for protection” (why?) and every year I plan to get them sorted. What do you all do with your Christmas tree baubles/ornaments? Any advice gratefully received.
(Just to be clear I won’t be taking the tree down til 6th January: I want to eek out every last drop of the festive tidings. So this counts as planning ahead!)

I've pack some in the original boxes they came in and some in small lidded boxes the size of ice cream tubs some of them ARE ice cream tubs. These then get packed into big lidded plastic crates that sit on shelves in my garage. Some baubles are wrapped in tissue paper for a bit of extra protection.

Thank you. What I’ve taken from this is that I will need to buy and eat more ice cream

Plastic tub and bubble wrap for fragile ones. An old holdall for non-fragile items.

Big plastic box on wheels, packed into a plastic drinking cup each, with bubble wrap as well.

Label everything. Put everything back where it came from on the 6th. I'm super organised

You can buy bauble storage boxes eg. Amazon.

For fragile ones I wrap in kitchen roll and store in bauble storage boxes. Or the boxes they came in if sets.

Mine are wrapped in either tissues or tissue paper, and stored in old boxes from perfume or makeup gifts, you know the kind of boxes that Christmas perfume and lotion gifts come in! Then the boxes get put into plastic crates and stored in the cupboard under the stairs. I wish I had a slightly better and more systematic way of organising them though.

I have loads of very unusual Glass baubles in all sorts of shapes and sizes. It was a nightmare sitting through the boxes to find the right ones and my DH had a brain wave. We have a few spare really useful boxes ( the huge ones) and he got the new bale of Guinea pig wood shavings and basically layered the shavings and baubles like a lasagne and filled it right to the top so they can't move. Absolutely protected, the stuff lasts for years and is only £8 for 220ltrs and smells deliciously pine-y and can be composted after I'm done with it. Win win!

Just taken our tree down this morning.
If sets they are in their original boxes and then in bigger cardboard boxes.
Individual ones are in tissue, kitchen roll (the Snowman from Aldi) or bubble wrap. Then I do as a PP and put them in nice boxes eg Jo Malone candle boxes, then sticky labels on so I know what’s what. Then in bigger cardboard boxes.
We put the tree up on 28th November so it’s nice to be clean and tidy again now.

I have a bauble storage bag, like this one

Mummyopoly that's genius! Never seen them before. Thanks for sharing.

@elQuintoConyo I love it! I'm a bit sad and like anything that organises things in the home. In addition to this I have 2 Christmas wreath storage bags and then 4 big Christmas storage bags from Rex London that I put all my other decorations in with bubble wrap - all recycled from online deliveries and it works a treat. I do the same (with different coloured bags) for Halloween and Easter and it's so easy to find everything and then pack it all away again.

Shoe box size boxes. In Some i place old tinsel on top of the decorations (under the lid). We put them carefully in one place in the loft (inside a larger box) and don’t move it all year.

We have three of these and our decorations are in the boxes they came in, with tissue paper (the John Lewis ones), or in the plastic tubs etc they came in, and stored in the loft in the larger boxes. We had to buy a third RU box this year as we went a bit mad with new decs and have a load more sale ones coming from JL this week!

Thanks all. I’ve ordered some like mummyoply’s for some and I’ll copy some of the other systems too. Obviously this is going to change my entire life and next year’s presents will wrap themselves, turkey will cook itself etc etc

I have a 35l Really Useful Box with three trays with sectio s for larger baubles. Then another sturdy plastic box filled with shoe boxes with smaller items in. All are wrapped in tissue paper.

@Tiramisoon talking of wrapping paper........ I also have one of these bad boys......

I've stolen a trick from a friend.

What you need is a wine box from tesco/asda/etc which holds six bottles. Crucially you also need the inserts. Does the same thing as the Amazon bauble storage boxes, but for free. You can get at least 18 big baubles in a box.

I have saved some of the wine boxes we had out Aldi wine deliveries come in. It has separate sections, bottle sized, and you can move them to make some sections bigger. I just wrap each bauble in kitchen roll or tissue paper and they have survived ok so far.
