Sterling Pear Signature Ornament Storage Box

This giveaway has ended thank you, everyone for entering! Carla from Twitter (@carlastamps) you are the winner! You will receive an email from me shortly.

Since my first son was born I started collecting yearly ornaments for him, a tradition that has grown as our family has.  When my children leave the nest I plan on passing on to them their ornaments and perhaps other decorations I save for them over the years. In all these years I have been on the lookout for the perfect box to keep these ornaments in.

There are several options out there for storing ornaments and I almost settled on a clear plastic bin, however I really wanted this collection to be special and wanted a box that was of heirloom quality. That is why I was so excited when Sterling Pear contacted me and informed me about their Signature Ornament Storage Box an offered one for a review. I was more than excited! This was exactly what I had been looking for and by the pictures on their website it looked like the perfect option for me. In all honesty though, it is hard to see something online and know what quality you are getting and when this particular item regularly costs $149.00 I might have passed on the basis of not being able to see it first hand before ordering.

With that being said I have to let you know that when this box arrived it met and beat all of my expectations! I was floored. Now I can get pretty excited about storage but this one is special. My husband sometimes snickers about my love of storage but even, he was impressed by this box. What’s so special you ask?

First of all you can see from the photos at the beginning of this post that this box is absolutely beautiful! If you didn’t have hidden storage space this ornament storage box would be pretty enough to leave out on a shelf or under a table.

This box holds up to 52 ornaments and as you can see leaving ample space for each ornament. You can’t tell by the pictures but the bottom is padded slightly to protect the ornament. I might add a little bit of bubble wrap for the smaller breakable ornaments but even without it the box itself is sturdy enough that is won’t cave in on the ornaments. The sides and corners are reinforced and while I don’t suggest standing on the box and jumping on it, my daughter did start getting rough with it and sat on it a couple of times and nothing gave.

We have three floors of storage here! The top section for smaller ornaments has it’s own lid and fits perfectly on top of the other sections. The middle stores slightly larger ornaments and the bottom houses sections with dividers that can be moved for larger ornaments and decorations. I will have more than enough room for all of my children’s ornaments and then some. They will have a nice collection by the time they are ready to fly the coop and will have enough room for some of their own decorations as well.

Attention to detail was taken when making this box right down to the ribbon handles for the inside compartments. I am so very pleased that I now have a quality storage option for collecting our children’s ornaments in. We will be getting boxes for the other two kids as well. I want them each to have their own box and I don’t doubt that this one will be strong enough to pass on to the next generation as well.

When we thought about the cost compared to the quality we were pleased with the price in the long run. We figure we generally spend $10-15 dollars for each of our keepsake ornaments and it is well worth the money to store this collection properly over the long term. I am very pleased with this heirloom quality ornament storage box!
