There are seven cutting boards in different colors, and they're also labeled with a small graphic that shows what to cook on what board. Several reviewers also noted that they're easy to clean, so everyone in your home should be able to use these to keep the food safe and then clean them right after use.
Promising review: "I like this set of boards, because it's a good habit to separate vegetables, meat, bread, etc. while processing food. Fruit will never smell like onion or fish. Salads will never get any traces of raw meat. It's just safe. Also, I cook a few times a day and don't use the dishwasher each time after each cooking. The boards are easy to clean, which helps. And they are colorful, too. A little injection of good mood never hurts." —MS

Promising review: "This item is pricier than the other options, but if you want something that will do the job and last, stop looking and just purchase this. There are plastic structures built into the sides, and plastic bases that you can easily pop in and out, so you feel comfortable stacking them even if one may not be full. These things fit quite a few of my bulkiest jackets and then some. I'm very pleased with this product!" —Iona C.

Promising review: "When we have so many internet addresses and passwords to remember, it gets really hard — especially when you get older and have trouble remembering what silly password you gave something. And we are supposed to change or update passwords from time to time, so this is a great tool to help us do that. It certainly makes more sense than scribbling on a random piece of paper on your desk and then misplacing it. The trick, however, is to not misplace the book!" —Carole P

You can label your darks, whites, work pieces, and linens, and then wash whichever bag is full first. These labeled bags will also help you find that ~one~ dirty clothing piece that you want to wash individually to wear again before the next big laundry day.
Promising review: "So I purchased this to organize and create a laundry system. Up until this point, I used one basket for everything. Wow. What a time-saver this has been. I now do wash when any baby (2) or adult (2) are running low on their clothes. My husband is size L or XL and just one of the bags held one week's worth of clothes. This most definitely simplified my laundry." —Mackenzie

It'll hold up to 10 pairs of shoes and has 8-inch wide pockets. Reviewers praise its high quality, but if you're looking to save a little cash *and* space, here's another 10-shelf shoe organizer with 5-inch pockets for under $20.
Promising review: "It’s beautiful, I love it!! I bought this shoe holder to replace the shoe holder I currently have. It’s much like this one, except it was flimsier and has fewer pocket holes. I love the feel and texture of this one! The canvas feels very sturdy, and the color is beautiful too! I also have three extra cubbies for shoes that I didn’t expect! The base is fantastic because the boards are sewn into the fabric with seams, which is a sign of high quality! The height and width are great too because I can fit my heels in here. I just organized them like you would in a shoe box, laying down, and they fit perfectly!! Definitely recommend this to anyone who is willing to pay a little extra $$ for something of high quality. Well worth it!" —Auriel44

Promising review: "This bag has revolutionized my life! As a professional woman who needs to stay organized, my purse was my downfall. All of my adult life, I have fumbled to find things on the bottom of my handbag no matter what the size. I have even tried carrying a flashlight to find things but I could never find the flashlight. Do I have a pen? It's got to be here somewhere. Paper? Yes, I think I have paper. Well, it's crumpled, but it's paper. Safety pins? Maybe, but it will take an hour to sort through everything else to find them. Maybe if I dump everything out on the counter, it won't take so long... NOW, I am the picture of efficiency. Wallet, pens, paper, cords, phone, keys, gum, safety pins, comb, ID badge, mouthwash, lipstick, cold capsules, and more are all tucked nicely into this travel bag which easily slips in and out of any purse I choose to carry. I purchased the small and medium-size and they fit perfectly inside my purses. The organizer holds a ton of stuff and everything is standing up in full view. Nothing is laying on the bottom of my purse. It has completely changed everything. I am DELIGHTED with this purchase!" —Janis Creason

It'll stick to your fridge with the two flat magnets on the back, and the right side with the shopping list can easily be torn off thanks to its perforated edge!
Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone and then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. The fact that it's magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.

It's made of real bamboo! Also worth mentioning: Many people opt for monitor stands because currently their monitor is too low and not positioned well for ergonomic comfort, so if you struggle with neck or back issues after long hours of working, this could help with that as well.
Promising review: "Every person who works at a desk needs this, hands down. The phone rest and extra little drawers are what sold me on this. I'm a teacher, and the little drawers are perfect for storing those all-too-essential sticky notes and hall passes. Get this, your messy desk will thank you!" —Michelle

You can choose between 80-bag or 120-bag stands with eight or 12 removable bins, respectively.
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 held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.

Also, one reviewer shared that a sweet note from the brand in their package revealed that this YouCopia brand is a small woman-owned business!
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provide flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $15.93+ (available in five sizes).
Promising review: "Product is perfect for what I need it to do. Fits just right, is more than sturdy enough, and has made my absolutely nightmarish spice cabinet look awesome. No more duplicate spices going bad in the back of the cabinet! It’s not at all difficult to assemble. Watch the assembly videos (they’re short) before you start opening the parts bags. Otherwise, it’s easy to get intimidated by all of the extra pieces." —Congaree

Imagine swapping out that wide silverware sorter you have now for this cool stacking gadget that'll only take up a sliver of space. What you'll do with the rest of that real estate is up to you!
Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —Mialro

The journal has an elastic band closure, a sturdy hardcover binding, and 261 pages.
Promising review: "I do a lot of reading and it becomes cumbersome sometimes to keep the books straight. This helps me with that. When I'm talking with someone about a book I really liked, but I can't quite bring up the title, I can consult my notes and find out what I need to know. There are separate sections in this journal. It has a two-page spread for each book you read where you can put pertinent details including the author, number of pages, publisher, where you got the book on one side, and your notes and 'review' on the other side. A table of contents can show the books listed in that section so you don't buy them again, something I have done more times than I care to mention. Another section is just to list the various books you've heard about and want to get later. You can mark them out as you get them. The journal is small enough that you can easily put it in your purse to carry with you. I really like this little book for organizing my reading life!" —Linda Keenan

The kit comes with 20 self-adhesive pockets, checkout cards, a date stamp and inkpad, and a pencil.

Peep what BuzzFeed Shopping's Jen Tonti thinks of this cool clock below:
"I have ADHD and have used various tools throughout my education to keep me organized and on-task. This is one of the best. I personally set 30-minute increments for any given task since an hour becomes too much time and I get side-tracked. It’s not that I must finish my task in 30 minutes, but rather I am kept aware of time passing in the first place and that helps me stay focused. The red film that disappears is a necessary visual representation of time that really makes this clock better than just a timer on my phone. I keep it within view and whenever I feel my mind trailing off I can quickly glance up and say, 'Oh wow that was 10 minutes of distraction, better get back into it.'"

Promising review: "I’m glad I made the investment to buy one of these because it fits perfectly on my toilet with my toiletries and box of Kleenex. I love the sense of humor crafted on it because it gives a good laugh and my kids love it as well." —Jent Gilchrist

Promising review: "I got this a year ago and have used it consistently. It stays in place and does not spin when I open and close the door. It has a strong magnet on it. It has never fallen off the dishwasher, and you can tell from a distance whether the dishes are dirty or clean unless you forget to turn it, of course." —Melanie DiBona

Promising review: "First off, this trash can is THE CUTEST! I’ve gotten so many compliments. It’s sleek and super stylish. The plastic is easy to wipe clean and it fits a lot of small trash that lays around in the car. As a mom, there are always Puffs and all sorts of wrappers in my car. Also, I have two dogs that shed so I always have lint rollers in my car and nothing is more frustrating than having a ton of sheets in my car! This little trash can is PERFECT for all that! I keep one up front with me and one in the back by the car seat to quickly clean up as we are going in and out!" —Mrosado

Promising review: "We had so many charging cords on the bedside table that birds were eyeing it as a possible nesting location... I tried several backyard engineer/ 'life hack'-type solutions but every 'solution' I tried was, to be generous, as attractive as mud and not terribly effective. So, as I do with an embarrassingly large number of similar issues, I looked to Amazon for answers and found these Blue Key World cable clips. These things met all of my criteria. They were reasonably priced, looked durable, appeared easy to install, and they had good reviews. I ordered a set which arrived in two days... Installation was extremely simple: Figure out where you want to put them, peel the paper off the sticky foam on the back of each clip, and press it into place. Once stuck on the surface of your choice, all you have to do is push any offending cables in between the little rubber 'fingers' and boom, instant organization. I was and continue to be 100% happy with this purchase. The clips are well-made and extremely easy to install and use. Cords don’t bind when you use them and the clips securely stay where you put them. I’m pleased enough that I am going to order another set for my home office and for my work office too." —Broad Interests

You could also use it for makeup or other organized traveling purposes. It's made of waterproof nylon so your tech items will be safe in a drizzle.
Promising review: "It's the perfect little cable organizer. I was using a Ziploc bag before and I thought I should step up my game. Although I do miss the Ziploc bag because I can easily identify the cables without opening up the bag, this case also does its job and makes it a little more professional when I pull this out in public." —Gadget Fanatic

Promising review: "We keep our remotes in a cubby under our coffee table and it was annoying to always have to grab a handful and pull them up every time we wanted to change the volume or something. This usually just led to us leaving them on top of the table and cluttering up the space. I really like this holder! It makes it very convenient to move them all at once and even if we leave them on the table it doesn't make it look messy or cluttered!" —Lauren C.

Check out what BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Emma Lord, has to say about these lovely things:
"I've used these for YEARS now after I bit the bullet and bought 60 of them, and they not only did everything they promised, but they've held up super well. Plus, nothing makes you feel like you have your life together more than hangers that actually match. Some reviewers note that the flocking has been falling off the hangers for them, but I've only experienced this if I've pulled down on it really hard if I'm in a rush — if you take your clothes off the hanger normally, it should be fine."

If you like the look of these labels but haven't yet transferred your cereal boxes, flour bags, and other other pantry essentials into transparent containers, I recommend this 10-piece Rubbermaid set!
Promising review: "These were amazing! Exactly what I was looking for to organize and in a very high end-looking way. I realized some of the labels I got were a bit taller than the containers I was putting them on, but they were so simple to cut down a bit. I am working on getting more containers for some other pantry items and will be ordering again!" —boltchristina

Promising review: "OK, I am not the best laundry folder in the world. Actually, I just kinda wad things up and stuff them away. HOWEVER, I want to do better. Hence, my purchase of this T-shirt folder. I have to say, I am pretty darn good at folding T-shirts lately. I marvel a bit at how tidy my shirts are now. I have not yet tried folding pants using the folder but I imagine that will work just as smoothly and quickly. I would certainly recommend this item to any and all who can find no room in their closets and drawers and suitcases for their many shirts and tops (and pants!)." —Jane P.

If your bathroom is tiny and counter space is limited, you can also store various toiletries, extra towels, and more in these pockets!
Promising review: "This liner may be the most useful product I've ever purchased! It allows you to organize all your various bath products in conveniently sized mesh pockets. The pockets are strong enough to hold full shampoo and conditioner bottles without tearing away from the liner. No more worries about cluttered edges causing things to fall off the sides of the bathtub. No more nasty soap scum from bars of soap resting on the edge of the tub. No more rust circles from cans of shaving cream. It's brilliant!" —G. Allen

These expand up to 17 inches long and have foam pads that both protect and grip the drawer walls!
Promising review: "I will never be a person who folds underwear. It's never going to happen. That photo that comes with this product? Not me. But a simple tool like this turned out to be what it takes just to know where things are. Left. Center. Middle. Any organizer made of cloth was out. I wanted something rigid but adjustable. If an organizer has soft sides, it's going to end up underneath the things it's supposed to be separating. These fit firmly where I put them and there are no corners to snag clothing or hurt your hand on when you reach into the drawer. It's a well-engineered product. I created three sections to my large top dresser drawer by adding the partitions from front to back. I am so pleased with the difference that I am ordering two more sets so I can do my other drawers also. These Oxo dividers cost more than the flimsy ones, but if I wasn't able to buy these, I would just not buy organizers." —SeattleBookMama

Promising review: "Now my daughter can see all of her toys. Before, everything was in the toy box, which itself took up a lot of room, but my daughter only played with the toys at the top. Now that all of her toys are visible, she plays with all of them all the time. I love that the bins are interchangeable too. They don’t have a set spot and can go anywhere." —Rachael_Roc

Promising review: "Like many of us, I know I should warm up and stretch before and exercise and cool down and stretch after exercise. Also like many of us, I don't tend to have a good exercise routine or even the best knowledge of what or how to do it, or even the creativity to be able to mix things up. These cards have helped with that. Each card features a picture of an exercise, a description of how to properly perform it, recommended number of reps, and a rating for level of difficulty." —Lance

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Sam Wieder has to say about this tree:
"Up until a few weeks ago, I kept my jewelry in a small little jewelry box, and every time I would go to grab a necklace or a bracelet, I almost always had to spend extra time untangling it. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this jewelry tree, but it was cheaper than some of the other options I was considering, so I decided to take a chance, and I'm SO glad I did. Setting it up was really simple and it looks SO NICE on my dresser. I'm able to see my jewelry right in front of me, and I don't have to untangle my necklaces just to get to them. I absolutely adore it!"
