storing away
Tucking into safekeeping
Storing away means putting something in a place for safekeeping or future use.
The phrase emphasizes removal from immediate view or access: She stored away the winter blankets in the attic.
It often suggests deliberate preservation—squirreling things away rather than simply setting them aside.
One can also store away memories or knowledge: He stored away every detail of the conversation.
