Store children's things with self storage
Where do I put all that children’s clothing and toys? Next time, try self storage
Time just flew by as it always does. The children are out of the house and you are left with piles of dusty boxes full of toys. Don’t worry, it’s like that for most families. Time really does fly for all of us.
However, even if your children have barely reached adolescence, they do not need all those children’s toys. It has also been a long time since any of those clothes have fitted. Like grandma always says: “They grow up so fast!”.
For this reason, we must share a hard truth with everyone: It is important to part with old things.
There are several reasons why. Firstly, it creates space for new things, keeps your house or apartment tidy, and the more you part with old things, the more you can concentrate on the present and your current family situation.
The way how to “separate” from your old things is different for everyone. Lager.de will present you with a number of options on how these things can be reused or moved out of your home.
The options
The first option is to give things away. Whether you have friends, acquaintances, or neighbours – most people will know a family with a child at the right age or a child that will be the right age soon.
There are always people who will be glad about free things. Making other people happy is a positive emotion that will, in turn, make you happy as well.
If you don’t have a family around you that fits the description, there are other options. You can always sell what you don’t need. Use one of the well-known online platforms to do so, flea markets or thrift stores. The advantage here is that you can earn some extra money.
The third option is quite similar to the first one. This option will make you feel good without personally having to know a family needing clothes. You can donate your children’s clothes and toys.
To do so, seek out charity shops or charity organisations dedicated to improving the life situation of less well-off families. You will make some children very happy.
The fourth option depends on the time you have on your hands and your creativity. Have you heard of upcycling? It means taking old things and giving them a new purpose by redesigning or enhancing them.
Colourful children’s shelves, for example, can be spray-painted or varnished and be turned into a completely different shelf that can be used anywhere in your home. In times of throwaway culture and people calling for more sustainability, this is an important step in the right direction.
Speaking of which! Sustainability is a very important topic at Lager.de. You can tell by taking a look at our business model. Lager.de is a self storage company offering a new concept.
Self storage is always an option
The self storage principle involves renting storage units to store all the things you don’t need or cannot store at your home. The storage units are available in many different sizes. Businesses, too, use self storage to create additional warehouse space or to externally store office supplies.
Lager.de is also a worthwhile investment into better storage of your children’s clothes. If your family isn’t complete yet or your relatives plan on having kids, you can put the children’s items into storage without giving them away.
That way, you create more space at your home and the toys and clothes stay in your possession.
Lager.de offers flexible opportunities for renting self storage units that might come in handy. If you need more space at some point, upgrading to a larger serlf storage box is easy. Just let us know. The same goes for downgrading.
If you need less space, we don’t want you to pay for an empty box either. Compared to other self storage companies, there is another key difference here at Lager.de. All our units are located in an outdoor storage park.
The storage units are outdoors and not built into a stuffy warehouse facility. Of course, the self storage units are closed while offering great temperature conditions for your belongings.
Moreover, this type of self storage is often somewhat cheaper than ordinary storage units. Security is very important to us at Lager.de: Only authorised customers can access the premises, which is under video surveillance. Every box is additionally secured with a lock. There is also a security service for the self storage park.
If you decided, storing your belongings at Lager.de is a good idea, here’s another tip for you: Make sure to sort your things first so that you can find them later.
Clothes can be sorted based on age or size, toys according to the condition they’re in. It also makes sense to separate clothing and toys according to their intended use.
Lager.de is looking forward to you.
