BaubleStash is a calm, private home for the Christmas ornaments you actually own. It helps you answer three everyday questions:
- Do I already own this?
- Which box is it in?
- What does the original packaging look like?
You do not need to be technical, and you do not need a barcode for every ornament. Start with one ornament and add detail as you learn it.

The three habits that make BaubleStash useful
- Add the physical ornament, not just the design. Each real ornament is a separate copy with its own condition, notes, box, and photos.
- Name boxes the way you actually think about them. “Hall closet — Box 3” is more useful than “Box 3.”
- Take photos before you pack things away. Packaging photos are often the fastest way to identify an ornament later.
What BaubleStash will never do on its own
- It will not publish your private ornaments or photographs to the shared catalog.
- It will not open a website just because a QR code contains a link.
- It will not delete your inventory when Plus expires.
- It will not pretend a device-only photo was backed up to the cloud.
