1. A metal desk organizer that'll help keep your WFH office supplies from cluttering up your desk. Plus, it'll lift your monitor up a little bit so you can stop craning your neck all day long.
2. Some slim but sturdy nonslip velvet hangers ingeniously designed for anyone with more clothes than closet.
3. Some under-bed storage containers to hold all of the things that are usually piled on your bed or draped over your chair...because they have nowhere else to go.
4. An over-the-sink drying rack you can roll right up when you're done with it so it doesn't taking up a huge chunk of prime countertop real estate.
Promising review: "Although I use a dishwasher, I was very frustrated when I washed delicate glasses, knives, and large pans by hand and had nowhere to drain them except the counter, which always got wet despite the use of a dish towel. When it arrived, I opened it and fell in love. It works perfectly, stays solidly in place on my double-sided sink, and allows my items to dry in half the time. It also frees up counter space. It's rubberized and can be easily washed, dried, rolled up, and stored in a minimum amount of space. Great item. Highly recommended." —L. Burr

5. A shower curtain with pockets because now you can stop knocking over piles of half-empty shampoo bottles every time you step in and out of the tub.
6. A tiny outlet shelf perfect for storing an electric toothbrush, your glasses, or any other odds and ends that need a better resting place.

9. An over-the-door towel rack so you have somewhere to put your towels that isn't all over the floor. Plus, it includes hooks so you can hang your robe and other clothes too!
10. Some Command hooks if the absurd lack of surface space in your apartment means that the best place to store things is on the walls. They're strong enough to hold a wide variety of items and require *no tools* to install. Plus, you can move or remove them whenever you want without leaving behind any damage or annoying sticky residue.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these! I have bought them three times already on Amazon. I have been trying to organize my kitchen utensils. I have minimal counter space and ceramic tile walls behind my counter. I am unable to risk drilling into the tile or to the underside of my cabinets. These sticky hooks are perfect!! They adhere to the tile AND to the wood laminate of my upper cabinets. They also are great on the painted wall and the bumpy side of my refrigerator. I started using these around March of 2020 and I have not had a single one fall down. I have various sizes of kitchen utensils and items hanging from them." —Tigerakp

Promising review: "This storage bench was the answer to my problem of needing inexpensive storage in my bedroom. It looks cute and does the job. Super easy to unfold. I thought it may be flimsy, but once it’s together, it’s amazingly sturdy. Great deal!" —A. Wheeler

Promising review: "I give five stars for this hat organizer! I wish I discovered this product sooner. It is VERY easy to add onto a hanger. Simply open the flap, slip it over the hanger, and reattach the Velcro. The Velcro strip is wide and sturdy to prevent the entire thing from coming undone. Even after adding weight from the hats, the Velcro didn’t even budge. Overall the product is sewn well and appears like it does in the pictures. The clips are sturdy and can grasp thinner hats just as well as thick hats. This would be useful for other items like belts, hair accessories, and scarves too!!" —Tracy
Get it from Amazon for $6.59+ (available in six colors and multipacks).
24. A hanging cabinet door organizer so your array of differently sized cutting boards or assortment of on-the-go-food-wrapper boxes can *finally* have a neat 'n tidy place to call home.
Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly.
I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

Promising review: "I am in love with my magnetic spice jars! I recently moved to a small apartment, and don't have the counter or wall space to store spices or a spice rack, so magnetic jars it was! I love how these have a decorative feel while providing a secure way to store the spices. Unlike other magnetic spice jars, I feel that these add an extra flair to displaying your assorted spices." —rae.m.wri
