The Benefits of Self Storage for Playdates
Playdates are an excellent way to socialize your children and have wholesome fun for the entire family. It also takes a lot of planning and foresight, since there are so many logistics. How many attendees will there be? What supplies will you need? And more importantly, where will you put everything once you get it? While the first two questions vary on a case-by-case basis, we can help you with the third. It may surprise you that renting a storage unit to prepare for a playdate can help tremendously. So, what are the benefits of self storage for playdates? We will outline it below.
Extra Space
When you schedule playdates, you will have a ton of kids and adults there, since playdates involve multiple families. The last thing you need in a situation like this is a lot of clutter. So, what do you do? The answer is to put anything that you do not need immediately away in a storage unit. This is particularly important if you have indoor games that require props, such as a small basketball hoop or a bean bag setup. Storage allows you to keep your valuables while leaving you enough space to have fun.
Convenience
You can also put your playdate essentials in a designated area in your rental. Try arranging the furniture or games you want to put there, stacked vertically, and ensure they are in clear bins so you can easily see them. This helps save time because, on the day of the play date, the last thing you want is to rummage around in boxes for an hour trying to find things for the party. No need to worry! Your valuables will be safe and secure. Most units have security surveillance and fences to keep your belongings safe and sound.
Storing Toys
Who wants toys all over the floor? Store them instead. Storing toys in self storage is the best way to keep them all in one place. We recommend dusting and cleaning them ahead of time and storing them in a plastic bin to prevent dust and grime accumulation. They will be waiting for your return on the big day.
