Our children are already grown and have both feet on the ground, but their memories will remain even after he has moved out
As parents, we are there for our children right from the start. Experience their first steps, are at their side when they have grief and worries and will help them with all concerns and questions about life even after they have moved out. As long as they still live with us at home, everything is still the same as before. But once they have learned to stand on their own two feet, it usually doesn’t take long for them to start their adventure in life with their first apartment of their own. By then, not only will one or the other non-disposable toy have accumulated, but dozens of other memorabilia, furniture and belongings have also been distributed in the previously shared household. But what things should you keep and where can you store them when you move to a smaller apartment?
Children’s toys for the next generation
As a parent, you don’t want to automatically part with all the memorabilia after your child has moved out. Well-preserved children’s toys can also be rediscovered and used by future grandchildren, for example.
After they move out, some children even insist that their parents stow their favorite toys or mementos from their teenage years away and keep them for later or a second use.
Preparation is the be-all and end-all
In order to find all the memorabilia in perfect condition even after years of storage, it is important to pack them well and store them clean and dry. Only then can their own children, years later, rediscover themselves with the same toy that mum and dad used to spend their time with and go on playful adventures.
What to do if things cannot be taken to the new domicile?
Since your first apartment is usually not very big, the fully packed boxes have to stay in mum and dad’s basement for better or worse. Luckily, if there isn’t room for it at home either, there are numerous accommodation options nowadays so that you don’t have to part with your childhood memories. In the following, we present you the most popular and uncomplicated accommodation option in today’s world.
A basement with lots of space and easy access
Since the basement at home, whether in the former parents’ house, with friends or in your first own apartment, is usually not the best way to store your belongings, the self-storage trend is becoming more and more popular worldwide.
What is self-storage?
Self-storage is a trend that spilled over from the USA to Europe. You store your belongings in specially rented storage boxes. In 1958 Patrick Collum started his own self-storage company. Since then, this trend has grown in popularity. In 2018 there were already more than 3,792 self-storage warehouses in Europe.
What advantages does a self-storage warehouse offer you compared to a normal basement?
- A good self-storage warehouse is heated and well ventilated. In contrast to the basement, no mold can form. A good self-storage is above ground.
- Available quickly and easily for drastic life events.
- Even with little living space, there is enough space to not have to throw anything away.
- Flexible rental period and access whenever you want.
- Short or long term accommodation of your beloved belongings.
- Ideal for people who often change their place of residence and don’t want to be too stressed about moving.
- Perfectly suited for employees who travel a lot and for a long time because of their job and are rarely at home.
- Inexpensive storage option for small businesses and online shops.
Conclusion
Moving out of the parental home does not immediately mean that you have to part with all of your favorite items. By renting a self-storage box, you can keep your belongings or emotional childhood memories and toys safe and dry even if your apartment itself does not offer much space.
