### Christmas break
Sync your family's calendars around days off and vacations right now. Both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are on Thursdays this year, so it may be necessary to puzzle a little extra for continuous holidays this year.

### Activities
This year will be a different Christmas for many. Think about some new activities that replace the traditional ones. Instead of a mulled wine party for the whole family, a Zoom or Facetime alternative with prizes for the craziest Christmas sweater and best background decor?

### Christmas presents
Create a note per family member on your mobile with gift ideas. Grandma mentions she needs to charge the electric toothbrush every day, note New electric toothbrush in the list Christmas gift ideas for grandma. Uncheck what has been bought and save the rest of the list for the next gift opportunity.

### Christmas food
Create a checklist of Christmas food as it comes up. The colleague at work mentions his super good kale pudding at lunch, add it to the checklist of Christmas food to try.

### Christmas card
Have a rolling list on your mobile phone from year to year with who will receive Christmas cards so you do not have to invent the wheel every time. Maybe physical to Aunt Gerd and Uncle Åke who appreciate snail mail and fun interactive digital to other family members?

__When the piles of leaves stack up outdoors, the piles in the entryway also start to grow. Hats, mittens, scarves, overalls and boots. Here you get some tips that will set you up for success in keeping the hall organized in autumn and winter.__

### Pack away summer
Make a season switch. Make room for winter clothes by packing away summer flip-flops, swim bags, float aids and thin jackets. Set aside a place elsewhere at home for what's not in season and alternate spring and autumn. Maybe a guest room closet, some storage boxes in the attic or in the basement.

### Sort and store
A few baskets in a row can do the trick to create order and then keep it. Choose to designate one basket per family member with all their socks, mittens, scarves and hats. Or one basket per category, everyone's hats in one, everyone's gloves in one, etc.

### Hook it
It's easier to keep order when you can reach. A few extra hooks at a height where even the shortest in the family can hang their things can do the trick.

### Label it
In order for not only you to keep things tidy in your newly organized hall, label with name or category so it becomes clear to others where things belong.

### Keep away the gravel
A nice broom set in the entryway makes it easy to quickly sweep together the gravel that shoes and boots bring onside and you don't have to walk around in it.

### Drain and dry
Place a shoe tray in the hall and mount a boot dryer above so you can easily let drip off and dry out wet shoes and boots.

### Corrall 
Set up a small basket or box in the hall where you and other family members can drop keys, coins and other small items that otherwise easily float around. Both easier to find and easier to keep clean around it.

### Mail station
Set aside a place in the entryway for mail and other papers that are brought home. Magazine holder, letter tray, wall pocket. Set a time each week when what's inside is reviewed, handled and recycled. Fika with mail on Sundays!

__If you choose to pack your things yourself when you move, we want to give you some smart packing advice and tips that save you time, protect your valuables and your back.__

## Storage areas
Start in the storage areas; basement, attic and garage. Sort out what needs to be discarded or donated well in advance of your move.

## Porcelain and glass
Wrap your plates standing upright with paper in between. Then fill the box with less delicate things. Wrap glassware with packing paper and place it in the box.

## Books
Books are heavy! So pack the carton in half with books and then fill it with light things. The boxes should be volume-filled but weigh MAX 20 kg.

## Pictures and plants
Place your smaller paintings in open boxes. Pack your flowers and plants in the same way.

## Dressers and cabinets
Don't forget to empty the drawers in the heavier dressers. Lightweight furniture with less delicate content need not be unpacked but can be moved as they are.

## Flammable substances
Be sure to submit solvents, paints, etc. to the recycling station if you do not want to move it in your own car.

## Keys and medicines
Take medicines, keys, remote controls, chargers and other things that you cannot be without in your personal hand luggage during the move.

## Labeling of cartons
Mark the boxes carefully so that it is clear where to place them in your new home. Place the label on the side and not on top as the boxes are often stacked on top of each other.

## Appliances and home electronics
Disconnect and package all appliances and other home electronics to be moved.

Did you know we can help you both with the move and the packing? Let us help you! Read more about our [Moving services](https://www.hemfrid.se/en/moving-service "Moving services").

 Packing advice for your move


__Safety at home is always an important issue. Before the holidays, it will be extra relevant. Our security expert Dick Malmlund gives his best advice and tips.__

## Security at home during the holidays
The thief looks for everything that indicates that no one is in the home and probably will not come home in a few days. Here are Dick Malmlund's best tips on measures you should consider and that make a big difference to the thief staying away.
 


__Trick the thief__
- Set timers with irregular lighting of indoor lighting
- Arrange sounds from inside the home, for example with a radio on an irregular timer
- Have someone mow the lawn and park their car on your driveway



__Pause the mail and be a little secretive__
- Change address temporarily or request a break in newspaper subscriptions
- Ask someone to empty your mailbox, have your mail forwarded or pause the mail delivery so that mail is not visible in the mailbox or inside the door
- Do not write on social media that you are away
- Do not let your answering machine notify that you're on holiday
- Do not connect your intercom to a mobile number that notifies that you'e on holiday

## Burglary protection
- Make sure you have good door locks and window locks
- Install alarms and surveillance cameras
- Install external lighting on villas


## Prevent identity theft
One type of crime that applies all year round but that increases during the holidays is ID hijacking. To make these more difficult, Dick Malmlund recommends three free services that you should use.

- [Block unauthorized address change](https://www.skatteverket.se/privat/etjansterochblanketter/allaetjanster/tjanster/sparraobehorigadressandring.4.361dc8c15312eff6fd123f5.html "Skatteverket") at Skatteverket so that your fraudster can not change address.
- [Order the address lock](https://www.adressandring.se/private/watch?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz5DWodaa6QIVAcKyCh2-cgeHEAAYASAAEgI6M_D_BwE "Adressändring") at Svensk Adressändring. This is so that no one can change the postal address and forward or pause your mail.
- [Register for digital mailbox](https://kivra.se/privat "Kivra") at Kivra. That way, you get most of the letters digitally and, above all, you get much faster credit information, which can be a sign that someone is trying to shop or take out a loan in your name.

Also go through your credit cards and note card numbers and phone numbers where you should call in the event of loss or theft and do not store mobile phones and credit cards together.

Safety at home is always an important issue. Before the vacation season, it becomes extra current. Tips from our security expert.

__During this flu season we want to give you some tips that are good to know and that you can use when we are not in place .__

## Right cloth for the right area
Use Hemfrid's color-coded cloths for the different areas at home, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Wash them frequently and make sure they are freshly washed before your next cleaning.

## Clean the remote control
Don't forget to clean the remote, it can spread the cold virus. With the help of a cotton swab you can access between the buttons!

## Wipe salt and pepper dispensers
Wipe off the salt and pepper containers in the kitchen often, they easily accumulate bacteria.


## Wipe the refrigerator handles
Do not forget to wipe the handle of the refrigerator frequently to avoid bacteria.

## Wash your hands
Wash your hands and children's hands carefully when you get home. It's recommended washing for 30 seconds. Sing Swedish childern's song Björnen sover twice!

## Wear clean socks
Put on the kids clean socks when they come home from preschool and you avoid bacteria from outside, at home.

## Put away the bag
Look out for a place for your bag that is not in the kitchen. A lot of dirt and bacteria come with it from the outside.

__Here are our best Christmas gift ideas!__

## For you
Treat yourself to a cleaning subscription for Christmas. As a gift for the whole family or why not for yourself if you are in charge of most of the cleaning in your house.

A Christmas gift for a simpler and more sustainable everyday life.
