Christmas storage

Trying to be organised with the extra Christmas decorations Ive bought this year. Can anyone recommend a good way to store the outside lights after Christmas we have the big plastic boxes in the loft but could do with a reel or something so they dont get all tangled up. I thought id put stuff away good last year but I hadnt and it slowed me down when getting it all out. Any tips please?

Have you googled Christmas lights storage reel, or perhaps a hose reel? I haven’t used either so I can’t comment on them. I just wind mine around a roll of clingfilm that happened to be lying on the side one year and they’ve never tangled. I’ve seen suggestions of winding around a piece of board also.

Wind lights around a kitchen roll cardboard tube, then store in an old shoe box. 🎄
