DealDash Tips for Organizing Your Home After the Holidays

Now that everyone has opened their presents and scooted the relatives out the door, it’s time to get organized! The winter holidays are done, let’s get organized!

The holidays bring so much joy, but let’s be honest, they can also leave behind a mess. Between the influx of gifts, leftover decorations, and an abundance of holiday cheer packed into every corner, your home might feel more chaotic than cozy. January is the perfect time to reset and restore some order. With a little creativity and a practical approach, you can reclaim your space and start the year feeling refreshed. Read on for some organizational suggestions from DealDash.

Pack Away Decorations for Many Holidays to Come

Start by tackling the holiday decorations. While taking them down might feel bittersweet, proper storage will make your life so much easier next year. Invest in clear, labeled bins so you can easily identify what’s inside when the holidays roll around again. For delicate ornaments, use egg cartons or old shoe boxes for safe keeping. Strings of lights can be wrapped around sturdy pieces of cardboard to keep them tangle-free. Dedicate a specific space, like a closet or storage shelf, to hold all your festive treasures, so they’re out of the way but easy to find.

Sort Through Gifts and Declutter

Next, address the pile of new gifts that your family has accumulated. This is an excellent opportunity to sort through what you already own. Encourage the kids to donate toys they’ve outgrown or no longer play with, it’s a great lesson in generosity and makes room for their new favorites. For adults, think about donating clothes or household items you haven’t used in the past year. Many local charities or shelters accept gently used items, making it easier than ever to pass on the things you no longer need.

Create Storage Solutions for Everyday Clutter – DealDash Can Help

As for the clutter that inevitably seems to take over every surface, consider creating designated “zones” in your home. A basket for stray toys in the living room, a small tray for mail and keys near the door, and a catch-all bin for odds and ends in the kitchen can help keep things tidy. For items that seem to migrate everywhere, like craft supplies or school materials, use stackable bins or portable caddies to contain them. This way, everything has a home, and cleanup becomes a breeze.

If you’re looking for storage solutions, DealDash has them! From baskets and bins to shelves and containers, DealDash is the place to go for all things organization. Check out the selection, and try to picture how they would look in your home.

Recycle and Start Fresh

Lastly, don’t forget to recycle where you can. Wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, and holiday cards can often be recycled, reducing waste while clearing your space. Take a moment to teach kids about sorting recyclables, it’s a small but meaningful way to start the year on a sustainable note.
