Beer case inserts as Christmas ornament dividers

Raise your hand if you've still got to take down the Christmas tree! For you, a relevant hack from Tracy (contributor of what must be at least 50 great hacks over the years):

Okay… hopefully you won't go out and buy a case of beer just for this hack :-) but it just so happens that Miller puts their bottles in a cardboard box with dividers ("aka" inserts) that look very similar to the ornament dividers you can purchase in the stores.

I'm thinking that the cardboard holders for beer bottles could do the same job. As could light bulb packaging and some fancy fruit delivery boxes (I got a box of Harry & David pears once and you'd swear the things were as delicate as Faberge eggs).

Any other creative ideas for reusing packaging to store Christmas ornaments?
