Self-Storage Units Become Santa's Workshop
We knew we had a big problem on our hands when our 12-year-old son ransacked our house looking for the stash of unwrapped Christmas presents. To keep our nosy teenager from finding the baseball bat and guitar we bought him, we decided we had to go out of the house — and into a self-storage unit — to hide the gifts until Christmas Eve.
Around the holidays, these sentiments are echoed throughout the minds of just about every parent. The storage units typically used to store business and household items are becoming temporary outposts for adults to hide and wrap gifts for kids and big-ticket items like televisions or bicycles for spouses. In Temecula, Vail Ranch Self-Storage & Postal Center bills their smaller units as "Santa's Workshops."
