Juegoal Christmas Tree Storage Bag
Just because they're artificial doesn't mean they don't need TLC. Faux trees are often placed in boxes that break apart and lead to missing pieces — and what can you do with a Christmas tree that's missing its limbs? With the Juegoal Christmas Tree Storage Bag, you can preserve the shape and quality of your artificial tree so it can be used from season to season. It also protects your tree from damage, dust, and moisture, and can easily be kept in your garage, basement, closet, attic, or wherever it fits your storage needs. Also available in green for $12 (was $15). Measurement: 65 x 15 x 30 inches.
This satisfied customer wrote, "I am using it for my 7.5 foot Christmas tree. I love the toughness of this product. It's definitely worth it."
Christmas Ornament Storage Box With Adjustable Dividers
I know it's tempting, but it's also not a good idea to stuff holiday decorations into cardboard boxes marked "decorations." Everything will get smashed and worse — mixed up and smashed. The Christmas Ornament Storage Box is a surprisingly chic-looking solution. This tote that comes with storage boxes and dividers will keep everything safe and organized and ready for next season. It even has a small box for ornament hooks! So stop combing through the creepy attic to find your decorations — pick up this organizer for just $28.
Christmas Figurine Storage Box with Zippered Closure
With the Christmas Figurine Storage Box you can keep up to eight figurines safe and sound. Cardboard dividers minimize scratches and breakage, so your special pieces will be ready to show off on Easter, Halloween, Christmas and more. Both ends of the organizer have sturdy hand grips for easy lifting; the longer handles on the sides let you safely carry it up and down stairs or from room to room. Also, the cheery holiday colors let it blend in with the decor, so there's no need to hide it! A sophisticated yet exciting addition to your holiday storage, and Amazon's Choice for nutcracker storage.
"I needed a way to ensure my priceless keepsake Christmas memories would be safe year after year," reported this shopper. "Shoe boxes with tissue paper just were not going to protect them forever. These boxes are exactly what I needed."
Tidy Tight Storage Loop Straps
Tidy Tight Storage Loop Straps keep your cords, cables and lights secure and safely away from each other. The D-ring on top allows you to hang it vertically, and the five securing straps are equally spaced apart. The storage loop has side buckles that allow each strap to be tightened, fastened or unfastened whenever you need them.
This reviewer gushed: "Finally a good way to organize and store my extension cords! Excellent use of vertical space, easy to access and I'm able to keep them all together!"

This clutter-free customer who titled their review, Christmas is now organized wrote, "I never thought I would be so excited for a wrapping paper organizer! This thing is amazing, it holds the extra-long paper as well as shorter ones. There are clips to hold your paper in place and pockets for bows, ribbons or labels. 100 percent recommend!"
Premium Christmas Light Storage Bag
Imagine putting away all your lights, knowing you'll be able to take them out next year neat and tangle-free. The Premium Christmas Light Storage Bag does that for you. With three spinning reels and a clamp that fits inside a durable bag, you can rest assured your lights will be kept safe and ready for another go-round! Each spool reel stores up to 150 feet of wire, 125 feet of mini lights or 150 feet of extension cords.
The set contains three reels for winding your lights that allow for quick and easy storage and installation when it's time to put up your lights for the holiday season.
Take it from this customer: "I just bought Christmas lights for the new house. I really didn't want to fight tangled-up strands of lights this year. Received my new storage bag and the same night I wound up my new lights on the reels. Hanging lights this year will be really easy. Looks to be a very good storage bag and the reels worked great. Highly recommend."
