Christmas is meant to be joyful, filled with laughter, twinkling lights and the smell of something roasting in the oven. But let’s be honest, by mid-December, your home can feel like a festive obstacle course. Between decorations, presents and last-minute purchases, there never seems to be enough space to spare.
That’s why self storage is a lifesaver at Christmas. With flexible storage solutions from us at Wigwam, you can keep your home organised, stress-free and ready for friends and family without tripping over wrapping paper or knocking over the Christmas tree.
Make Space for Friends and Family
Hosting over the festive season is exciting, but it’s much more fun when your home is clutter-free. Temporarily storing bulky furniture, clearing out spare rooms, or storing out-of-season décor in a storage unit can instantly transform your home into a space where everyone can relax.
If you need packing boxes or supplies, check out our packaging deals to help make the job quick and stress-free.
Short-Term Storage for a Stress-Free Home
Short-term storage is perfect during the Christmas period when homes suddenly feel smaller than usual. Your belongings remain safe, easily accessible and out of sight, leaving you with more room for festive fun rather than furniture rearrangements.
Keep Surprises Safe Until Christmas Day
One of the best parts of Christmas is the element of surprise, but curious eyes, especially little ones, can ruin it in seconds. Self storage over the Christmas holidays gives you a secure place to hide presents until the big day.
Simplify Post-Christmas Clean-Up
After Christmas Day, there’s the chaos of packing away decorations, your prized Christmas tree and other seasonal items. A dedicated storage service makes this task far less painful. By storing items that you only use once a year, you can keep your home organised and clutter-free. Think of it as giving your decorations their very own holiday.
A Welcoming Home for Everyone
Extra room for friends and family is a real gift. By storing non-essential items in a unit, you free up bedrooms and common areas for guests. Whether it’s setting up an airbed in the lounge or creating multipurpose spaces, a decluttered home means everyone can relax.
Imagine enjoying your festive break without the stress of cramped spaces. Visit any of our locations around the UK and let us help you make your holidays more manageable.
The Benefits in a Nutshell
Using self storage during the festive season gives you:
Valuable space for entertaining
A secure place for gifts and decorations
Short-term, easily accessible solutions
A clutter-free, stress-reducing home
Room to welcome friends and family

Excellent service from Wigwam Self Storage Lincoln. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional from start to finish. The storage unit was clean, secure and easy to access. Everything was explained clearly, and the whole process was quick and straightforward.
I would definitely recommend Wigwam Self Storage to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place to store their belongings. Great service!
I have dealt with both Selina and Sascha, in person and via email. The service each of them has provided has been excellent and makes me feel that I have made the right decision to use Wigwam's services.
I have used the storage at Cheltenham for nearly two years now and have always been glad I made the change from a large facility in Kingsditch. I recall leaving a glowing review of Casey and his team when I first took on the unit. Just yesterday I left a less than complimentary review but have discovered my frustration at the time was due to misleading info I obtained over the Internet and nothing to do with Wigwam. So that review is withdrawn and I continue to recommend Wigwam as a convenient town centre facility, well run and utilising a high tech, easy to use entry system.
I can no longer recommend this storage facility after being a customer here for a few weeks. The lift to the second floor has been broken for some time, and this is a serious problem - the stairs are too narrow to get anything remotely large up to your unit, which makes storing bigger items essentially impossible. For me, that defeated the main purpose of renting a locker here.
On top of that, the dolly trolleys are meant to be returned to a designated point after use, but in practice no one does this, so you end up hunting for one. Most of the time they’re left in a separate building I don’t have access to, meaning I have to walk around 50m through corridors and up stairs carrying my belongings just to reach my unit. I reported this to reception and was told they’d return the trolleys to the proper point, but nothing has changed.
Parking is another issue - the boxing gym attached to the building also uses the car park, so it often feels crowded.
Only use this facility if you’re desperate. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.
Good experience so far ! Staff Helpful and available if any issues ! Appreciate the discounted offered for 8 weeks, so took advantage of that ! wish it was longer !!! Easy to navigate the site with easy access and facilities !
Fantastic idea to use an app to gain entry. Once set up it's so easy to use and saves faffing around with keys and security fobs. My first visit was a revelation and is a definite encouragement to keep going back. Well done Wigwam!!
All the team we've dealt with at Wigwam have provided fantastic customer service with some lovely personal touches. Our storage unit and the surrounding site is clean, well maintained and good value for money. I would definitely recommend.
Great storage facility, would highly recommend. The process of booking and accessing the unit was really straightforward and customer service has been excellent.
