Benefits of renting a small storage unit for the Christmas period
Is it your turn to host family Christmas this year? You may live in a small apartment and have minimal room, or you may have a pergola or sunroom that’s full of ‘junk’. Finding the space to fit all your family, friends and food on Christmas Day can be difficult. But, don’t stress, a small storage unit could be the perfect solution!
Renting a small storage unit over the Christmas period can benefit you for many reasons, plus it’s super affordable and convenient. If you have the job of hosting Christmas Day, you want to impress. So, let’s discuss why a storage unit will solve all your storage problems and help you ace Christmas day!
Reasons to rent a small storage unit over the Christmas period
Create space for guests
If you’re needing to make room for guests, storing furniture in a short-term storage unit can be a great way to do this. You may be hosting Christmas Day in your sunroom or pergola and it may be cluttered with random unused items. Or you may use one of these areas as a home gym, meaning there’s probably equipment cluttering the space. Furthermore, Store away whatever isn’t needed on Christmas day and you’ll find yourself with a lot more space to work with.
Clear out the spare rooms
You might find yourself needing extra space for friends and family to stay over. Often homeowners will have one or two spare rooms that are the designated ‘junk’ rooms. Aka ‘i have nowhere else to put this’. If this is the case for you, temporarily move all of that stuff into a self storage unit – you might even leave it there for good!
Once your spare rooms are clear, you will need to purchase sleeping materials. If you’re on a budget air mattresses can be a great alternative to buying a bed.
Hide presents from your children
Another great benefit of renting a small storage unit during the Christmas period is having somewhere to hide your kid’s presents. Storing them in a self storage unit will not only keep them hidden from your kid’s, but also from any pets that like to chew things up. Avoid putting presents under the tree and running the risk of them being ruined by the family dog. Store them in a self storage unit – all problems solved!
In addition, you can also utilise the space in your storage unit for wrapping Christmas presents. It can be hard to find time at home when no one is around. Wrap the presents in your storage unit, that way no one will see and ruin the surprise. Then you can leave them in your self storage unit until Christmas Day.
Who to store with?
When looking for short term self storage during the Christmas period you want to ensure you choose a reliable and trustworthy storage facility. You also want a facility that offers month to month storage contracts rather than yearly.
Some important factors are:
- Safe & secure
- 24 hour access
- Pin coded gates
- Month to month contracts
- Pest free
In addition, Store Ur Stuff is an Adelaide storage facility that would be a great choice for short term Christmas storage. We offer a variety of storage unit sizes as well as month to month contracts. Meaning you can rent a storage unit for the time needed then finish your contract. However, you may realise how convenient self storage is and decide to continue on your contract after the Christmas period!

It’s good that you point out that a self-storage unit can be beneficial for freeing up space in your home at Christmas time. I want to have family visit this Christmas, so I’m considering renting a storage unit to keep some of my extra furniture. I’m going to look for a good self-storage facility in my area.
Thanks for helping me understand the benefits of renting a self-storage unit. I find it amazing to learn that you can use these to store items as big as furniture! My friend is looking for a place where he could hide his action figures and I believe this is perfect! I’ll go ahead and suggest this to him so he’d be able to hide them before his clients drop by his home!
It’s interesting to know the benefits of renting small self-storage units for the Christmas period. Since we have a spare room for junk items, I thought about following your suggestion to rent a facility instead to clear out the space in case we have visitors during the holiday period. Hopefully, I can find a reliable provider here in our area.
It’s cool that you mention that self-storage units are a great place to hide Christmas presents. My wife and I want to keep our kids from finding out what they’re getting for Christmas, so I’m thinking about renting a self-storage unit. I’m going to search for a good self-storage facility in our area to use.
Your information about storage is very helpful! We bought a lot of lawn ornaments for the season this year. I’ll find a storage facility that can keep our ornaments safe.
I like that you mentioned that storage units are a good place to hide presents from kids and pets! I can’t tell you how many times a Christmas present has been chewed up by one of our dogs. My son is also in the stage where he tries to break into his Christmas presents early so we got to find a place out of the house to hide them.
