Dumfries Self Storage isn’t just a stopgap when you’re moving house or for long-term storage if you’ve downsized or if you’re a student on the move, or for your inventory if you’re a business – it’s just as ideal for storing everything including the kitchen sink for re-gifting and/or repurposing at a later date.
Let’s unpack this some more.
Dumfries Self Storage and re-gifting
A load of old tat at birthday or Christmas from those serial bad gift offenders needn’t be the end of the world. Think of it as an opportunity. Why not store it with Dumfries Self Storage and re-gift it at a later date?
According to a fairly recent survey by Finder.com of 2,009 British adults, clothing and accessories topped the list of most unwanted gifts (25.03%), followed by cosmetics and fragrances (17.63%), household items (11.49%), food and/or drink (8.07%), literature (7.47%) music (6.47%), with technology (5.24%) coming in last.
The study also said that 23.20% do the polite British thing and keep the gift but never end up using it, while 22.50% decide to re-gift them but this can take time so storing them in the meantime to maintain their quality and so that they don’t get under your feet or damaged before the right occasion arrives makes perfect sense.
You’re also more likely to sling them in a fit of temper if they’re taking up precious storage space at home and then regret it.
Then there’s the 21.87% that donate their unwanted gifts – and if this is you, why not store them first until you find the time or know where exactly you want to donate them.
Or you might want to get a bit of a collection together to sell as a part of a wider fundraising initiative.
Repurposing your stuff in storage
Repurposing stuff gives it a new lease of life and keeps it out of landfill.
Self Storage is the ideal solution for storing furniture or anything else that your instinct tells you can be repurposed.
You might choose to repurpose your stuff by starting a wee sideline business?
Or will you try your hand at a spot of upcycling in the future?
You can also repurpose items in your unit as storage facilities to make sure that you’re utilising every last inch of it.
Might sound obvious but if you’re storing a fridge, it has precious room inside that can be used to hold books, DVDs, ornaments in addition to the shelves in your unit.
Just keep the door open to keep air circulating through it.
This also applies to desks, dressers and any other household items that contain a lot of empty space. Even cleaned-out bins can provide the perfect space to hold tools and other outdoor items.
Suitcases and trunks are likewise a great way to keep on top of your self-storage organisation.
