Extra Space Storage in Spring offers secrecy for Santa’s Helpers
Extra Space Storage in Spring has always provided families with a place to store their treasures, but this holiday season they also offer a way to keep gifts secret from nosey loved ones.
“We’ve discovered that our storage units are the perfect place to wrap holiday gifts, or keep wrapped and unwrapped gifts. They’ve become a secret workshop for Santa’s helpers,” said Robin Jacobi, site manager. “Whether you have big-ticket items or snooping kids, the secret hiding spot allows local families to keep the element of surprise this holiday.”
According to Jacobi, Extra Space Storage has facilities for both residential and commercial storage solutions, including seasonal needs.
The self-storage units are perfect for holiday decorations, such as the 8-foot, pre-lit Christmas tree. In addition, the units provide a convenient storage space for businesses in need of a space to keep additional holiday inventory.
Extra Space Storage has a trained, professional on-site resident manager, state-of-the-art video surveillance and alarm systems.

Humble dressbarn collects toys, brings holiday magic to children
In an effort to bring holiday magic to disadvantaged children this year, dressbarn is launching its first Toys for Tots Drive from December 8th to December 12th.
During this time, local dressbarn stores, including the Humble location at Atascocita Commons, will encourage residents to donate new, unwrapped toys for the cause.
To show their heartfelt thanks, the store will give customers who donate a 15 percent coupon off a regular priced item, said Renita Ester, District Sales Manager for the local store.
“We want to spread that holiday cheer to those who are in need, and this initiative really helps us to do that,” Ester said. “For several years, the Toys for Tots program has delivered a message of hope to needy youngsters that motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. We at the Humble dressbarn location are proud that the company has decided to take part in this effort and are so happy to be a part of this great mission this year.”
According to the organization’s Web site, the objectives of the Toys for Tots program are to help disadvantaged children in the United States experience the joy of Christmas, play an active role in the development of children, unite members of the local communities in a common cause during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign, and contribute to better communities overall in the future.
“We really hope that the Humble community comes together to give to children who are really in need. Just the thought of knowing that they are giving a child hope this Christmas season should be heartwarming,” said Vivian Behrens, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for dressbarn, inc. “Thanks to the customers who donate, we’ll be able to give smiles to children nationwide this holiday season.”
