Valentine’s Day: Storage – An Unusual Present

Valentine’s Day: Storage – An Unusual Present

We’re all feeling the pinch right now. So the pressure to do something special is even more pressing than usual.

And we’re suggesting storage as a fabulous gift for Valentine’s Day for your partner or yourself.

It’s not as mad as it sounds                            

Here are five ways to make it part of the best gift ever:

1.       Decluttering

A good declutter can change your life, leaving you clearer space and even, perhaps, a little better off (Watch this blog for more on selling your second hand items.) So why not give your loved one or gift yourself a hand made voucher book with some hours of specific help to declutter, and some storage space to put the things he or she or you wants to keep but doesn’t really have space for? Thoughtful gift!

2.       Redecorating

You can’t afford to upgrade top a bigger property, but want more space/an upgrade.

A month or two of storage while you redecorate together will get the job done faster, things won’t get damaged or covered in paint splashes – that could be the next best thing to moving a new home.

3.       Reform or Renovate their home

Maybe there’s a wall they or you have always wanted knocked through. Maybe the bedrooms begging for an ensuite. Maybe the dream is an extension.

There’s no easier way to make it happen than to book some storage and finalise the plans on Valentine’s Day!

4.       Plan a holiday

Time to start saving and planning, but why not buy a map of the World, a journal and wrap them up? And while you’re gone, storage is one of the easiest parts of the logistics to help sort out your things while you’re away. If you need planning tips for your holiday, we also have those too - just click here.

5.       Help them become a Lifestyle Storer

We often talk about ‘lifestyle storers’ here at easyStorage – people who use storage to keep their lives in order on a month to month basis, whilst keeping their homes decluttered and clear.

Mostly they arrange for a changeover of goods once a month, meaning that the right things go into and out of storage for the season.

And because easyStorage comes in at around half the price of traditional self storage, and both delivers and collects, it really is the gift that keeps on giving. They’ll thank you all year, not just on Valentine’s Day.

When you hear the word "hoarding," it may sound like unusual human behaviour. But if you dig deeper, at least from a psychological perspective, it is a disorder that can affect a person’s life, be it emotional, physical, social, or financial. The good news is, this type of disorder can be treated. According to the American Psychiatric Association, two types of treatment can be done with hoarding – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication, each type applies depending on the severity of the case.

Babies are one of the greatest gifts every family could have as they bring the utmost joy to every home, especially if you’ve been waiting for them for so long. Raising a baby is one of the toughest jobs in the world, but fulfilling at the same time. As expectant parents, brace yourselves for a lifetime responsibility. And take note, there's no day off. You are expected to take care and love your child unconditionally, prepare a home where he/she can grow safe and nourished, and too many on the list that I guess you, parents, already know by heart.
