Christmas ornaments are very valuable sentimentally and often monetarily as well. Most Christmas ornaments spend the vast majority of time stored away awaiting next Christmas. These ornaments need to be unpacked before every Christmas and packed back up after Christmas is over every year.

Here are a few Christmas ornament storage ideas we want to share with you.

For your brand name Christmas ornaments that come packaged in a nice gift box we recommend that you save the original manufacturer packaging and store these ornaments in their original boxes.

Also, having the original box for collectible Christmas ornaments will allow you to realize the maximum amount of money one day if you ever decide to sell your ornament collection.
