So there I was, looking for a solution for long term storage of our extra bedding (sheets, pillowcases, and so forth). I’d seen a solution that was like a strong plastic bag, into which you stuff the textiles and then suck out the air, leaving a smaller, well protected package impervious to moths and damp. But where to buy such a thing? Then I thought of Wehkamp – the Dutch equivalent to the Sears (US) and Littlewoods (UK) home shopping catalogues.

Yup, the Dutch are very pragmatic about this sort of thing…

Oh. Oh, my.
Nevertheless, I always thought that watching hours of late-night
infomercials in college might someday pay off. What you are looking
for is the "Space Bag" (or sometimes "Space Saver Bag"). Amazon.co.uk
(oddly, where amazon.nl redirects me) lists a number of them – search
for "space saver" and ignore the various Power Rangers results, they’re
in there.Alternatively, look at AsSeenOnTv.com and scroll down to find Space
Bags. Not sure about their international shipping, but with the
deplorable state of the dollar, you might find that the exchange rate
offsets the shipping expense. -
Mike, terrific – thanks for the tip. I always thought that knowing the proper names for things was the key to advancement in life…
