Sleigh the Season!

By: Stefani Langone of Sterilite Corporation 

 

The holidays can be a whirlwind; decorating, buying gifts, hosting, cleaning, running around from here to there in the bitter cold all while having the same Christmas carol stuck in your head.  That’s bound to make anyone a little crazy!  The good new is, with a little planning and the right storage solutions (wink, wink) you can not only make this holiday season easier, but also set yourself up for a stress-free experience next year! Addieplusthree-steriliteholidaytotes

Totes serve as an ideal “one stop shopping” solution for larger, hard to store décor.  The 18 Gal. Tote features a lid that snaps tightly to the base so contents will stay safe until next year.  Their convenient size allows a lot to be stored, and their stacking ability help maximize your space!  Not to mention, the holiday colors help you easily identify exactly where you left the tote the year prior-it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
