Merry Lenox Christmas Collectibles Storage Tips

It is safe to say the Lenox Christmas collection is a highly prized among fans of yuletide collectibles. This is why many of the Christmas era items produced by Lenox sell out year after year. As soon as they are purchased they are immediately put on display in a prominent manner in their new owner’s home. Of course, the Christmas season is only a few weeks out of the year. This means those Lenox items need to be placed in storage until the next Christmas season is upon us. There is nothing wrong with this…provided one know how to store those items properly. If not, then you may very well damage your Lenox collection and this would hardly be beneficial. So, let’s take a look at a few wise ideas on how to properly store a collection.

It is always important to select the right box to place the items in. The box should have enough space so that the merchandise does not press against itself. If it does then a number of scratches will probably occur. This would definitely not be a good situation so selecting the proper size storage box would be the wise first move. Also, it is necessary to line the box with tissues, newspaper, or cloth as a buffer to keep the merchandise from rubbing against itself. This would also cause scratches so adding “buffers” is critically important as well.

The area where you store the box should never be chosen flippantly either. Many times, selecting the wrong storage space can lead to problems. For example, if you place the box in a closet you use frequently there is the possibility that you may knock over the box. Instead, it would be better to place the box in an area that is much less trafficked. This would greatly contribute to reducing a number of potential problems.
