Tip for broken baubles: Use them in your wreaths - you can position it so you can’t see the breakage! Then no need to lose the sentimental value ☺️

Top tip for packing Christmas decorations - breakable balbals - get a large ridge plastic container say 50L for a large tree. Line bottom with bubble wrap. Then wrap each decoration in a tissue! Each one. A normal tissue you would use for your nose. Keep the tissues from year to year so little wastage. And just pop them in the box. You should have little breakages. And really special ones should be tissue wrapped and popped in a smaller shoebox - again placed in a large ridge box for long term storage in a loft etc
