Save the original box to preserve your ornaments value, but don't use it for storage. Delicate ornaments need to be kept in a rigid container. Look for a container that's designed for storing fragile pieces. A divided liquor box is perfect and you can often get one for free. Pad the inside of each compartment with bubble wrap or some cushioning material, but do not let it touch the ornament directly.
Plastic can stick, especially if it gets warm.
Try recycling all that used gift wrap, it's perfect for padding and will save time and clean-up too. Wrap each ornament individually, but do not use newspaper because the ink can come off on the ornament. Use tissue paper left over from gift bags and wrapping. Use old, but clean cotton socks to store small, fragile pieces. So try these few Better Living tips and you can be sure that your investment will pay off in many years of holiday pleasure.
