Consider the living space and storage conditions of the recipient
For residents of small-sized apartments: If the recipient lives in a small-sized apartment, the storage space is often limited. At this time, gifts that are small in size and easy to store should be chosen. For instance, give a delicate foldable pop-up book. Compared with heavy traditional books, it can present rich content when unfolded, but when folded up, it is just a thin copy and doesn't take up much space. For instance, foldable storage baskets are also a good choice. When not in use, they can be easily folded and placed in the corner, and when in use, they can hold a lot of items, meeting the daily storage needs.
Residents of large-sized apartments: People with ample living space have relatively loose storage conditions, but they may also encounter problems such as scattered items that are difficult to organize. In response to this situation, you can give some large gifts that have classified storage functions. For instance, a multi-layered large storage rack can categorize and store clothes, sundries, etc., making the space neater and more orderly. Or a storage box with multiple compartments, which is convenient for storing clothes or seasonal items of different seasons.
Combine the recipient's daily storage habits
People who like to categorize and store things: Such people are accustomed to carefully organizing items by category. Then, it would be very practical to send some storage items with separation or labeling functions. For example, a jewelry storage box with multiple small compartments, each compartment can hold different types of jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc., making it convenient to search for and take out. Or, a set of file storage boxes with label stickers can enable the recipient to categorize and store files, materials, etc., and attach corresponding labels, making them clear at a glance.
People who tend to store things randomly: They may not pay much attention to the classification of items and prefer convenience and speed. For such people, it is advisable to choose some storage gifts that are large in capacity and easy to stack. For instance, a large canvas storage bag can be used to hold large items such as clothes and quilts, and can be piled up freely under the wardrobe or bed. Or a stackable plastic storage box. Multiple boxes can be stacked together to save space and hold a lot of things at the same time.
Consider the storage characteristics based on the type of gift
Scattered small items as gifts: If the gift is composed of many small items, such as jigsaw puzzles, building blocks, etc., the storage issue should be considered. It can be given to the recipient together with a special storage box. The storage box can be chosen in a style with partitions, which is convenient for storing small items of different shapes or colors separately, avoiding loss and confusion. For instance, when giving a set of colored brushes, you can pair it with a pen holder with multiple sockets, allowing the brushes to be neatly arranged. This not only looks beautiful but also makes storage convenient.
Seasonal or holiday gifts: Gifts like Christmas decorations that are only used during specific seasons or holidays need to be properly stored during non-use periods. You can give a storage bag with compartments. Place the Christmas tree ornaments, colored lights, etc. in different compartments to prevent them from getting entangled and damaged. Or a storage box with a lid can be used to store items such as Santa Claus dolls and Christmas stockings to prevent dust contamination.
Pay attention to the expandable storage capacity of the gift
Stackable or combinable gifts: Choose gifts with stackable or combinable functions that can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual storage needs of the recipient. For instance, some plastic storage drawers can be used independently or stacked in multiple units to increase storage capacity. When the recipient's items increase, they just need to purchase a few more drawers to stack them up, which is very convenient. For instance, modular storage racks can be freely combined according to the size of the space and the number of items, meeting different storage scenarios.
Adjustable space gifts: There are also some storage gifts whose internal space can be adjusted to accommodate items of different sizes. For instance, a wardrobe partition with movable partitions allows the recipient to freely adjust the position of the partitions according to the length and quantity of the clothes, thereby rationally allocating the space in the wardrobe. Or a retractable bookshelf that can be extended and retracted according to the number and height of books, making full use of the space.
