So many Christmas decorations–so little time to hang them!

Christmas wreaths, lights, garlands, ornaments and stockings–all are lovely expressions of your holiday spirit.  But when not hung up in time for the season, they become clutter.

Good intentions can turn into Christmas clutter when you accumulate decorations without acquiring simple solutions for hanging them up.  Luckily there are now a number of easy-to-use Christmas decoration holders.  Here are five excellent examples that don’t require any nails-or-screws installation:

  • If your tree is overflowing or you just want to highlight a special ornament, consider the Christmas Ornament Stand.  Constructed of thick metal wire with a black finish, the elegant arched design has a side base for stability and is under 6 inches in diameter so it can fit on almost any surface.
  • The cast iron Holiday Stocking Hanger lets you safely hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace mantle without the need for screws, nails or hooks.   A decorative iron pinecone anchors a single hook that securely holds fully stuffed stockings.
  • The Adjustable Garland Hanger is an over-the-door holder that can hang up Christmas lights, long strands of garland or a decorative wreath. It adjusts to fit any door from 34 to 52 inches wide, and locks into position so you won’t have to worry about it falling down; and with no screws or nails, your door will remain undamaged.  All sizes of garland will hang perfectly on the decorative center and outer hooks to frame your door for the holidays. The center hooks are also perfect for hanging wreaths of any size for every season.
  • Command Outdoor Light Clips are a damage-free way to string your lights around a door, up the siding, under the soffits, around a window, or along the gutter all without nails or screws. Using a new formulation of the revolutionary Command™ Adhesive, these hooks are specially designed to hold strongly outdoors–and like all Command™ products, they remove cleanly with no holes, marks, stains or sticky residue.
  • Over-the-door Wreath Holders are available in several styles and finishes to accent almost any type of door.

A festive wreath on the front door is one of the simplest ways to decorate for the holidays. But when the season’s over, storing that wreath isn’t quite so simple.  Easy to crush, bulky, awkwardly shaped…it can be a challenge to keep a wreath safely tucked away without it taking up a lot of space.

Luckily there are now several types of wreath keepers designed to address those issues. So you won’t have to spend a lot of time “re-fluffing” your wreath next Christmas, here are three space-efficient holiday wreath storage solutions:

  • The Wreath Storage Bag with Direct Suspend Handle offers crush-proof storage in a space-saving design. It featuresWreath Storage Bag with Direct Suspend Handle Image a “direct suspend” handle with an interior clip that connects the outer handle of the bag with the frame of your wreath, so when you hang the bag, the wreath floats inside. This preserves the wreath’s shape by keeping it from being compressed against the bottom of the bag.  The zippered case is large enough to accommodate up to 36-inch-diameter wreaths, and has a padded carrying handle for easy transport.
  • For even larger wreaths, the Christmas Wreath Storage Bag is available in three sizes: 36, 48 and 60 inches.  It comes nestled inside a round zippered bag with a handle, which attaches inside the wreath keeper itself to provide extra storage space for Christmas lights and other decorations.
  • For smaller wreaths (24 or 30 inches in diameter), the Wreath Storage Container is a good choice.  Designed to stand upright, it’s made of heavy-duty plastic; one side is completely transparent so you can see your stored wreath. Six latches around the sides keep the container securely closed, and a large handle at the top makes it easy to carry.

More holiday wreath storage solutions are also available.
