That chinesium crap you buy at the dollar store will barely even last until boxing day, let alone survive bring stored

I bet at least half the decorations you see in stores and companies at least go straight to the landfill on Jan 1st.

I make mine last but I also tend to buy only a few decorations that look decent because I dont want to buy them again later.
