Try IKEA Clothes Storage Boxes - Clothes Boxes - IKEA UK , Muji Wooden & Bamboo Storage Solutions | MUJI, or Dunelm Storage Boxes & Baskets | Dunelm or Set of 6 Polka Dot Packing Cubes | Dunelm.

I think you are being a bit 'rose-tinted glasses' and I would use a set of drawers.

I guess I could use plastic boxes but thought nice ones could be reused

Cheap plastic storage boxes are a complete false economy. So many have split and broken on me, especially the lids. They are horrible for landfill.

You need to buy the brand called "Really Useful Boxes". They are strong and sturdy and come in all different sizes. This is the only brand I now buy and they're so strong they will last for years and years. They're a bit more expensive but worth it.

Sorry just realised you didn't want plastic.

If you type "pretty cardboard storage boxes" into Google you'll see lots of choice. You can order tissue paper on Amazon quite easily. I bought a lot of JoJo Maman Bebe off Vinted for my granddaughter - it was in great condition.

Best of luck with your new grandchild!

Ah! I thought you were a first-time mum with visions of a super-organised nursery. Depending on the clothes and number of them, I'd use something like old shoe boxes - helps if you know someone with big feet.

Buy Strata Curve 4 x 10L Plastic Storage Boxes with Lid - Clear | Plastic storage boxes and drawers | Argos

If you want to save money/be environmentally-friendly try freecycle or freegle.

6! That's brilliant. I have lots of cousins on both sides and think it's great.
