Somewhere cool and dry, if they get damp they will die and not germinate next year.

Store them in labelled paper envelopes. I keep mine in a tin in the spare (fairly cool) bedroom, and they are fine

Mike I keep my spare and new seeds in a tin and a deep plastic tray like Sunshineband in the spare room. Same reason - it's cooler there.

Dry & cool work well.  ;)
