1. A set of six fridge organizers so you'll know *exactly* where your tube of cinnamon rolls is because your oven *finally* pre-heated and you're impatient.
Built-in handles make the containers easy to move around and refill. If you could use even more clarity on what's where, you can add your own labels like the reviewer did above!
What's included: Five drawers and a dedicated 14-slot egg holder.
Promising review: "I love these things so much. I just got my first apartment with my boyfriend and it looked so messy in our little fridge and now it looks really appealing and everything is easy to get to. The quality of them is so good, I’m honestly impressed. They’re very sturdy and the egg holder is so cute and holds 14 eggs!" —Faith Sperry
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $23.99.
2. A handmade sandwich plastic bag holder you can mount on a wall, slip in a drawer, or leave propped up on your counter for ultimate convenience. This way, you don't have to tell guests where they can find a Ziploc every two seconds — you can just point in a general direction.
3. A ceiling-mounted garage storage rack where you can stow away the bocce set, badminton net, and 10-foot-tall animatronic Santa you've had tucked away in your spare bedroom's closet.
Securely attach the brackets to studs/ceiling joists and the shelving unit can hold up to 600 pounds of stuff. The elevation also ensures everything is safe in the event of a flood.
Promising review: "If you're wanting storage for your garage and have 10-foot or higher ceilings, this is the ticket. Installation is involved but I was able to do it as a one-man job. I used bungee cords to hold up one end of the shelf while installing the other. It took me a whole day to install but I was particular about its position and considered the constraints of surrounding space and aesthetics. This holds a total of 16 18-gallon totes... 16!!! It occupies otherwise unused space whereas standard shelving occupies valuable floor space. This is absolutely worth the money." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $229.99+ (available in packs of one or two and in three colors).
4. A cutlery organizer that was smartly designed to save a buttload of space. Sick of fishing around a jam-packed drawer on the search for your favorite fork? Give it a cozy, reliable place to call home.
I bought this about a year ago and I'm a little embarrassed about how often I think about it. For the first week we owned it, my boyfriend and I both commented daily on what a smart design it is, how much room it freed up in our drawer, and how we wished we knew about it sooner. If you — like me — are at that stage in your late 20s where practical, problem-solving products put a ridiculously wide smile on your face, I'm sure you'll love it.
Promising review: "Fits my drawer like a glove AND holds my set for 12! Heavy gauge plastic construction that does not give even when fully loaded. This has opened up so much more space in my drawer making it easier to find other serving pieces and the odd items in that drawer. Love it, highly recommend it. Before purchasing, measure your drawers to make sure it will fit. I love that it can lie parallel to the drawer front. I was concerned that my flatware would stick out too tall for my stock cabinetry drawer, but that is not a problem." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
5. A set of 12 stretchy silicone lids so you don't have to have to search for a needle in a haystack when it comes time to pack up holiday leftovers.
6. A set of drawer organizers that can take your dresser from the chaos that is a TJ Maxx sale section to the enviable order that is The Container Store.
7. A nonskid three-tier pantry organizer ready to save you from buying yet another thing of pumpkin pie spice because yours is seemingly off exploring Narnia.
If spices are only part of your issue, it can also be used to hold extracts, canned veggies, sauces, etc.
Promising review: "I added this item to my shopping list several weeks ago and I’m so glad I finally committed to buying it. As a vegetarian, I’ve found that I have to add double the spice just to get a real kick in the dishes I prepare. Not to mention, making sure that I have all the spices that I’m going to need while being quarantining/ social distancing. With that said, my spice cabinet was atrocious before I got these racks. And I am so happy to finally be able to grab my spices without knocking over the other ones and making even more of a mess. I didn’t know somethings so small and plain could bring me so much joy. Buy it now! You will not be disappointed." —Arie M.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
8. Or a 30-spice door rack as there's no getting around the fact that your collection has outgrown its designated cabinet.
9. A shoe cabinet narrow enough to fit in tight mudrooms, entry halls, and foyers. At minimum, it holds eight pairs of sneakers, slip-ons, or sandals.
The shoe holder frees up floorspace and keeps shoes ventilated so you don't have to worry about your foot funk making its way to other rooms.
Promising review: "I needed something that was narrow enough to fit in the my entryway to hold all my shoes instead of jammed in the closet where I couldn't see them. I love this cabinet as it doesn't take up much space in the entryway, it provides a place for a lot of my shoes, and it has a narrow top that can hold items but is small enough not to encourage gathering too much stuff. It's highly functional and looks great in small spaces." —Minimalist
Get it from Ikea for $99.
10. A double-decker bread box with room for the bags of focaccia, sourdough, and ciabatta you couldn't resist while waiting in line at Trader Joe's. This way, you can keep them off your counter and out of harm's way (AKA somewhere your pup/cat can't reach them).
Promising review: "I am beyond pleased with this purchase for my kitchen upgrade! I will admit when the box showed up and I realized I had to assemble it myself I was ready to return it...But I waited and checked how easy it was to assemble. It even came with a really nice screw driver! It took my boyfriend about 10 minutes to assemble as he was watching football. (So it probably takes less time). It looks so clean and fresh. I fell in love before I even used it. I used to have a giant pile of bread, bagels, muffins, and then the usual breakfast boxes of quick grab-and-go meals and oatmeal. *Yes; it looked as bad as it sounds. (#momlife)* Now this beautiful box holds EVERYTHING PLUS!!!! Currently we have two brand new loaves of bread and a half pack if hoagie rolls in the bottom box. The top box has oatmeal and two boxes of breakfast snack bars stacked; plus a ton of extra room in front of the boxes!! This is far more than a bread box — it's a counter-saver!!!!" —Squats4Cookies
Get it from Amazon for $44.94.
11. A custom mount for KitchenAid attachments so you don't have to store them in the bowl of your mixer and then temporarily relocate them every time you're ready to bake.
Superhero DIY is a Broomfield, Colorado-based shop with 3D-printed storage solutions as well as cosplay props, costume accessories, collectibles, and more.
Promising review: "These are so amazing! I had no idea they existed. I’ve been storing my attachments in the bowl, which has not only caused scratches in the stainless bowl over time, but the extra attachments would also be loose and taking up valuable space on my counter when I was baking and only using one attachment. It was annoying! This keeps them handy, but put away and I can select the attachment I need while the others stay put. So handy. Absolutely recommend!" —Marissa
Get a set of four from Superhero DIY for $7.99 (available in eight colors).
12. A faux book display that actually hides cords and cables in its hollow interior. If your router is ruining the aesthetic of your bookshelf or media stand, this is the solution!
13. A set of two shelf risers so you can utilize *all* of your available space. A few more inches is nothing to sneeze at — I know my fellow NYC peeps can agree.
14. A macrame fruit hammock ready to home the precarious pile of lemons, limes, and cuties that's been piling higher and higher on your counter. One more and the structural integrity could be completely compromised — so might as well make the switch!
Macra-yay Macrame is an Indianapolis-based shop from Lesli Lenover.
Promising review: "The cutest ever! It has freed up my kitchen counters and given them a little fun decor at the same time. Super easy to install!" —Nikki Ferritto
Get it from Macra-yay Macrame on Etsy for $30.
15. A two pack of corner shower caddies so when your guests roll in, you have plenty of room for the 15+ travel-size toiletries they have in tow.
The rustproof stainless-steel caddies come with suction mounts so installation is easy peasy.
Promising review: "Perfect for my tile shower that had no shelving. I am able to fit a lot on the shelves with no hassle or worry they might fall. I'd suggest to hook in the baskets first to the adhesive and then remove the back of the adhesive and stick it onto the tile with the basket so it applies evenly." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two sizes and four finishes).
16. A slide-out pantry to utilize the dead space between your fridge and wall (or any appliance, really). Come Thanksgiving you may as well just use it as a place to stockpile French's crispy fried onions. 🤤
The five-tier cupboard slides around on four wheels so you can easy pull it out and push it back in.
Promising review: "Very pleased with the quality of this. I was afraid it would be flimsy, but it has feels nice and sturdy even when completely loaded with canned and boxed food. Wheels roll great. Perfect size between fridge and wall. My family has been using this daily for six months with no issues. Very happy with this purchase." —Wally
Get it from Amazon for $38.99.
17. A coffee pod dispenser you can mount right to the side of your machine or wherever else is convenient. This way, guests can brew their own cup with ease.
The two-row dispenser holds 10 coffee pods while the three-row option holds 15.
Promising review: "Fits perfect and so convenient." —Jacqueline A. Malloy
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in packs of two or three and in two colors).
18. A lightweight closet system that can hold up to 16 T-shirts at once so you can clean out what's supposed to be a "guest closet" but turned into a "second closet" for you instead.
The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business in Kelso, Washington. Check out this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!
Promising review: "Our family is growing, and I realized there's a lot of space in a closet that isn't being used. That's how I came across these, and now I have them in all the closets. They make getting clothes so easy, and now we have more space for the growing family! XOXO!" —Megan
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $16.99 (available in three colors) or from Amazon Handmade for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
19. A magnetic stove shelf on which you can stack your go-to spices, oils, and kitschy salt and pepper shakers. It's also a convenient place to dry out a turkey wishbone if your family is into that tradition.
The shelf works with both flat and curved stoves. It doesn't require any adhesives or installation and the magnets can even be repositioned for a custom fit.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four finishes).
20. A damage-free Command bottle hook you can hang your various stain removers, all-purpose cleaners, and window sprays from because when you throw them all under the sink, it's hard to decipher what is what.
And like regular Command products, they won't peel off paint once they're removed!
Promising review: "Let's face it, Command products ROCK! This was perfect for our truck camper, under the sink, to hold a small, refillable spray bottle of 409 to clean the kitchen. It has literally hung by this Command hanger for 3,000 miles now — bumpy roads, up and down hills, you name it. Everywhere we've gone, and neither the bottle nor the Command hanger have ever been found down. Still hanging in there like the day I stuck it. Works AWESOME!!!! It also keeps the bottle out of the way by tucking it up to one side under the sink. PERFECT!" —Jenn
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.48+ (available in one or two packs).
21. A chrome can rack where you can store all 36 of the Ocean Spray cranberry sauces you picked up because your grocery store was having a BOGO sale.
Promising review: "This is a terribly useful product because no can good companies have the decency to make their cans the same size with interlocking lids which means you either have to stack your vegetables one high, or play a precarious game of Jenga every time you reach for cream of chicken. Enter this thing. It uses the same footprint as the same amount of cans would, EXCEPT there is none of that precarious stacking so you don't get buried in an avalanche of pantry staples every time you make dinner. Plus, it really cleans up your pantry. Pretty inexpensive solution to a messy problem I had." —Mr.andMrs.Moreno
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
22. A velvet ottoman that's not only a great place for house guests to kick up their feet, but a secret lil' storage spot where you can stow throws. If your home barely has room for furniture, this versatile piece will come in clutch.
23. A set of under-bed storage bags so you can use the few inches under your frame to store off-season clothes and extra linens instead of just dust. (Making a mental note to vacuum under mine ASAP.)
24. A magnetic kitchen organizer you can slap to the side of your fridge and not have to think about again. It's a great option for renters since you don't have to go drilling any holes or YouTubing any videos on how to use a stud finder.
Promising review: "Small but strong. It's a perfect addition for a small (usually messy) kitchen. Now I always know where the paper towels are. The top shelf is a great place to keep often-used items (honey, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, etc.), and the hooks at the bottom work well for small pot holders. The magnet holds well — I have not had any issues with the rack sliding down the side of my fridge. I think this is a great product." —C. A. Fuchs
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
25. An over-the-door bag holder that'll come in clutch when Thanksgiving guests have eight Tupperware containers of leftovers to haul home but no tote bag to carry them in.
26. A six-piece plastic drawer organizer set to lend your junk drawer a little bit of order at least. Use the clear containers separately, stacked, or however you see fit and they'll make it a whole lot easier to find your stuff.
27. A remote control caddy you can throw over the arm of your couch so you don't have to spend precious time digging through your cushions to find it when there is Sunday night football to be watched.
28. A leather and brass hanging rack almost as aesthetically pleasing as the wooden cutting boards you'll hang from it. (But never use because then you might stain them...)

They produce ethically-sourced home goods and donate 15% of profits to causes like Together Rising, The ACLU, and Habitat for Humanity. They also sponsor school children in Guatemala where they source fabrics.
Get it from Holistic Habitat for $70.
29. A multi-slotted battery organizer because at some point in the next few months, your fire alarm will start its chirp of death at 3 a.m. and this is a hell of a lot easier to navigate than your junk drawer.
30. A gift wrap organizer for those who stocked up on a whole lotta holiday supplies. Since the bag is see-through and you can easily identify what it is, this works a whole lot better than throwing another unmarked tub in your basement or attic!
31. A set of super-strong magnetic strips to elevate beer and soda bottles so you can nix the annoying cardboard holders they come in. Plus, now you can free up an extra few inches underneath where you can slide in your XL bag of string cheese.
32. And a pack of six cord bundlers for organizing unruly appliances and electronics. No more rogue laptop chargers or KitchenAid cords lying in wait for you to trip over.
You scooting guests past the room you didn't have time to organize:
