Tidy Up After Halloween: Reset Before the Holidays
Halloween is over — but the mess sometimes lingers long after the costumes are put away. Before holiday stress starts to build, November is the perfect time to refresh your home and get organized for the busy season ahead.
Organize and Store Halloween Costumes
Sort through costumes while they’re still top-of-mind. Keep only what can be reused, donated, or repurposed for dress-up. Store favorites in a clearly labeled bin so you can easily find them next year — no frantic searching required!
Declutter and Pack Away Holiday Decorations
Wrap delicate items carefully and store them by category: indoor décor, outdoor décor, lighting, etc. Labeling bins now means a faster setup next October — and less clutter in the meantime.
Create a Smart System for Halloween Candy
Instead of letting sweets take over the kitchen and kids’ rooms, contain them in one bin or basket. Donate extra candy or freeze it for future baking. A simple system keeps the sugar stash under control.
Refresh the Entryway and Outdoor Spaces
Remove pumpkins, porch décor, and remnants of trick-or-treat night. A tidy entryway sets the tone for a more organized season.
