1. An over-the-cabinet organizer to abolish all "where the HECK should I store this cutting board?" dilemmas, and so you can easily identify (with your eyes) which ones are the meat cutting boards vs. the vegetables to prevent cross-contamination.
Promising review: "I love this rack; it's great for storing my cutting boards!" —Mary Eckland
Get it from Amazon for $14.47.
2. An expandable shelf that transforms your under-the-sink mess (no offense) into a place in which you actually know where everything is. You may have even found a couple of dishwashing tablets in the process.
Promising review: "These things are AWESOME! Super easy to assemble, and I love that you can extend the length and move the shelves however you want. It makes it so easy to fit these selves into different cabinets throughout your house." —Ms. Alison M. Osborn
Get it from Amazon for $19.87.
3. A tea bag organizer because — honestly — how many tea boxes are cluttering your cabinets right now? How difficult is it to find the SPECIFIC tea you're looking for? Maybe not THAT hard, but this baby will make it 10x easier to store.
Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes, which I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this holds about nine boxes of tea. I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
4. A mounted stemware holder that deserves a champagne toast since they're so great at, well, holding your champagne flutes and wine glasses.
Promising review: "This rack-mounted easily, and holds 18 stems without trouble! This is the perfect way to have glasses handy." —K. Govocek
Get it from Amazon for $15.91.
5. An adjustable rack you can mount on your kitchen wall OR hang over a pantry door. Plus the rack stores everything you can think of: drinks, condiments, sauces, jams, and the jar of Nutella your sister keeps stealing.
6. A rotating stainless steel holder for the large spoons that would jam any drawer you even ATTEMPTED to store them in, and it'll be super easy to access while you're in the kitchen cooking up something amazing.
Promising review: "This utensil holder is just the right size for keeping a number of tools at hand. I like the fact that there are three dividers to keep things from getting tangled up, and the swivel base rolls very smoothly and prevents scratching my ceramic stovetop. Plus, the stainless finish blends in perfectly with my kitchen." —M. Oborny
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
7. A bakeware rack with adjustable dividers so you can fit your largest muffin tin to your smallest cookie pan without any problem, and you can save space in smaller cabinets.
Promising review: "We loved this so much that we bought a second one immediately! This works great for circular pans, cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Plus, it has non-skid feet which is a big plus!"—Organization Freak / Hobby Cook
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
8. A pull-down spice rack so you'll automatically reach for the cinnamon without wading through five other spice containers.
This tells you the exact location of all your spices (Sporty, Posh, Scary, Baby, and Ginger, included).
Promising review: "This is the best investment I've made! I'm a little on the short side, and it's hard for me to see all my spices without having them fall out all over the counter while looking for a particular spice. This lets me pull all my spices down, see them all at the same time, and it keeps my cabinet much neater. I am probably going to be ordering a second one!" —Vintage Nana
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
9. A coffee caddy to transform your kitchen into Starbucks itself, without any of the chaos that comes with going to the actual store.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this product! It holds everything I need. Its not bulky, so you can have it on top of your counter, island, at your desk, or wherever. It truly hold a lot!" —Victoria Cardiel
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
10. A heavy duty organizer perfect for storing larger pans so you don't have to keep placing them in the oven for extra room on your countertops.
Promising review: "Before I bought this, I would have to stack my cast-iron pans on top of each other, which meant I had to lift one pan to get to another one. Now, they are neatly organized in my cabinet and I can very quickly go straight for the exact one I need — without having to pick up the whole collection. Very sturdy and tolerates the weight of the whole collection without giving. Love it!" —Dawn Whitt
Get it from Amazon for $29.85.
11. A multi-purpose shelf that can store everything from paper tower rolls and spices to dish soap and gloves because cooking is hard, but cleaning up after yourself is harder.
Promising review: "This is great for a small kitchen with limited counter space. It's easy to hang, lightweight, and functional. I use the shelf as a spice rack for salt, pepper, and those items that I use on a regular basis, so there's no need to rummage through the spice cabinet." —April Weston
Get it from Amazon for $15.75.
12. A two-tier corner shelf because corner space is all too often WASTED space. Make the most of it! Turn it into additional storage so counter clutter can vanish.

Get it from Amazon for $24.12.
13. A sink caddy with draining slots to filter out excess water. Plus, it has super strong suction cups that will actually stick to your sink. Nothing worse than placing your clean sponge on the caddy than to have it fall to its death in your sink.
Promising review: "This is the only caddy I've found that keeps your sponge from sitting in a pool of water. It drips right into the sink, it's SUPER easy to clean (you can just throw it in the dishwasher if you're feeling lazy), and it fits perfectly. I've had mine for quite a while now and I love it." —Amanda Ivans
Get it from Amazon for $8.69.
14. An expandable organizer because your utensils need a permanent home. Every spoon should have a room (and every fork, knife, and can opener).

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
15. A bamboo wine rack that can hold up to six bottles of your favorite reds and whites. When not in use? Just fold it up and stow it away easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Promising review: "This is a great wine rack: not too expensive, folds when not in use, and looks fine in its natural finish. This is a great deal all the way around." —Allan G. Weaver
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
16. A mug tree that gives prime real estate to the beautiful, wonderful beings that allow us to drink coffee or tea, because tea lovers should not be forgotten.
