My kids are pretty spaced out in age. I have two teenage boys, a 7 year old boy and a sweet toddler for a girl. I spend a small fortune buying the kids the things that they want so I want to be sure to get as much use out of it all as possible. My blog is all about using a storage unit to keep things around the house organized and keep your kids interested in the toys that you have spent your money on. You will find tips for storing clothes to be handed down to the younger kids and so much more.
Are you tired of your family finding their holiday presents before it's actually time to hand over those gifts? Does it seem like at least one relative has a sixth sense and will be able to find anything no matter where you put it in your home? Sometimes finding these presents is an accident, but sometimes it's the result of a concentrated effort to locate the goods. Regardless, this can be a frustrating experience for both you and the gift recipient. In order to keep your secrets safe until the last minute, you might want to consider getting a storage unit to keep things in. This will keep things away from prying eyes until the right moment, but before you go out and rent a storage unit, here are some things to consider:
Size: Even if you're planning on storing something as large as a bicycle, a personal storage unit need not be big to be useful. If all you need it for is the occasional storing of gifts, the smallest sized storage unit should be sufficient for your needs. On the other hand, maybe you're also planning to use it to store holiday decorations during the rest of the year. In that case, you might be in need of a slightly larger storage unit, depending on exactly what decor items will be stored there.
Access: Not every personal storage facility is going to have 24-hour access. Many of them only allow access during normal business hours. Some only offer extended access if you pay extra to be able to do so. If you're going to need to play "Santa Claus" late at night, you may want to opt to find a facility that will let you into your unit whenever you want to get in. Otherwise, you might have to take the gifts to the home of a friend or another relative one or two days before the actual holiday.
Location: The nearest location to your home isn't always the most convenient to get to nor the least conspicuous. If you want to hide your gifts until the very last minute, you may want to choose a facility that's in a particular direction even if it's a little further away than you'd normally like. For instance, if your children are old enough to know that you never travel a particular direction either when going to or coming home from work, they might be suspicious if you suddenly start doing this in the days leading up to Christmas. Choosing a facility that is in the same direction as your workplace might mean a little extra travel but allow you to be more secretive in the long wrong.
