Solution

The inherent magnetism of any magnetic substance tends to decrease with temperature and pressure. These external influences interfere with magnetic ability of a magnet by altering its physical structure and configuration.

So, in order to avoid that and keep the general properties constant we generally keep magnets in wooden box and protected from direct sunlight.
