You've got the right storage boxes and are ready to pack up your precious antiques and collectibles, but what else do you need?
These goodies will help keep your valuables in tip-top shape.
Moisture Muncher Silica Gel
Is humidity a problem where you live? If so, stick a few of those silica packs in the plastic bins. This will stop some of the moisture from getting into your pieces.
Acid Free Tissue Paper
The best thing for your special glass ornament is to wrap it in acid free tissue paper or nestle it in shredded tissue paper. Store these valued pieces in a temperature controlled area (extra bedroom closet?) in sturdy boxes.Compressed Air Can
Clean and dust the stuff off before storing it away! If you have a fragile piece, e.g. a glass ornament -- use a soft painters brush. But for the items less fragile, compressed air works terrific!Goo-Gone
Use it to take off the sticky residue from tags and labels. Clean off marks, etc. Just be sure to test on an inconspicious spot to make sure it doesn't remove the finish.Wreath Storage Bags - 25"
How fancy do you want to get? This plastic bag will store and protect your wreath up to 30". Or you can do like I do and wrap it up in dry cleaner plastic sheets.Deluxe Titanium Collection Wreath Keeper
If you're into looks -- I love this wreath keeper. It has handle, nylon zippers and even an identification card to fill out. A little too organized for me, but it sure will add style to your storage closet!More Storage Ideas and Picks for Christmas Collectibles
