4 Reasons why a visit to Store & More should be on your Christmas to-do list

When professional organisers sing our praises as THE go-to store for all things Christmas, we think that is pretty high commendation and enough motivation for South African shoppers to take note. Whether you’re looking to elevate the storage and decor solutions in your own home this holiday season, or are ‘Santa’ when it comes to buying gifts for others, Store & More believes ‘tis the season to be organised with our range of festive decor, entertaining essentials and seasonal storage solutions. 

Here are 4 reasons to make Store & More your first stop for all things Christmas:

#1 Shopping for Christmas accessories

December holidays are synonymous with a joyful and vibrant array of festive accessories that make this time of year truly special. From the classic red and green stockings – waiting to be filled with surprises – to fun headgear like Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and elf ears, there’s no shortage of items to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

But holiday preparations and organisation are just as important, with the kitchen becoming a hub of creativity. That’s where we come into play with baking kits and cookie cutters that shape sugar cookies into stars, trees, and gingerbread men. (Why not store the cookies in a Christmas-inspired cookie jar?).  

And what is Christmas without beautifully designed wrapping paper and greeting cards? 

We haven’t forgotten about the kiddies. Keeping little hands busy is as easy as DIY craft sets that let children create their own ornaments and decorations; adding a personal touch to festive traditions. 

#2 Shopping for Christmas decorations

We don’t care if you subscribe to the official tradition of only putting up your tree and decorations 12 days before Christmas or if the tree is ready to come out on the 1 December or perhaps straight after Halloween!

The timeless beauty of Christmas decorations is a heartwarming sight that fills our homes with festive cheer each year. The twinkling lights, glittering ornaments, pretty wreaths, tinselled trees and fragrant candles are all welcome touches of seasonal magic.  

Here are our tips for creating a festive wonderland in your own home:

  • Start by selecting a colour scheme that resonates with your personal style, whether it’s traditional red and green, elegant gold and silver, or something more unique. 
  • When decorating your Christmas tree, begin with the lights – evenly distributed from top to bottom – followed by ornaments and garlands or tinsel
  • For a cosy touch, incorporate fragrant pinecones and cinnamon sticks into your wreaths or as part of your table decorations. 
  • You can never have too many candles at this time of the year. 
  • Don’t forget to add personal touches like handmade ornaments or cherished family heirlooms. 

#3 Shopping for Christmas gnomes

There is something quite enchanting about December in the Northern Hemisphere. So why not embrace the charm of Christmas gnomes as a celebratory nod to wintry festivities? Also known as Scandinavian or Nordic gnomes, they are a delightful and fun trend in holiday decor. 

These darling little figures – inspired by Scandinavian folklore – have gained popularity for their whimsical and festive appearance. Typically crafted with a cone-shaped body, pointed hats, and long white beards, they often carry traditional Christmas items like presents, stockings, or even lanterns.

Christmas gnomes are also known for their playful and mischievous personalities, which make them an endearing addition to any holiday setting. Traditionally believed to bring good luck – often dressed in festive red and green attire – they symbolise joy and merriment during the holiday season. 

The festive gnome trend has grown in popularity due to its adorable and versatile nature, making it suitable for tabletop displays, wreaths, and tree ornaments.

Here at Store & More, we have transported these decor gnomes from the north as part of our collection of decor options

#4 Shopping for Christmas storage solutions

Christmas ornaments and decorations are an investment that are generally kept and reused. Finding the best seasonal storage solutions can help ensure that your holiday ornaments remain in pristine condition year after year. Keeping your Christmas stuff organised will also save you time and frustration.
