Clutter, dust, and food crumbs — begone!!!
Promising review: "Was really impressed with the quality! Been looking and looking for something to store pens/markers in that wasn’t an eyesore or space-taker-upper on my desk. Fits everything perfectly. I was nervous it’d be too shallow but it’s perfect." —Amazongirl

You can also fold it down and take it to go.
Promising review: "Liked it so much I bought two more. I'm one of those people with too many projects and piles of stuff all over my desk that I can't seem to organize. This is a great solution to have things visible when I scramble to locate a paper or file." —Gungo
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).
This organizer is heavy enough to stay in place without adhesives so you can use it on delicate surfaces.
Promising review: "This organizer is heavy for its size. It keeps all the cords coming into my computer neat and tidy without sliding all over the place. I like that there is no adhesive on the back/bottom, which could damage or discolor the maple top of our handmade desk. The cords just pop into place." —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $15.87 (available in seven colors).
This mount uses the same 3M adhesive as GoPro so it should be ultra secure.
Promising review: "A simple, elegant solution to keep your desktop free of its much needed real estate. My gaming headset takes up a lot of room, and it's one of those things that is awkward to store without either a stand or a product like this." —Hugh K.

These have removable dividers so you can customize them to fit your needs and preferences.
Promising review: "Great for helping me organize my desk. My pens and markers and highlighters were always shoved together in a large mug. With the four compartments, this lets me separate my markers from my pens, and there is a space for my glasses and erasers. As an added bonus, the additional space for storage gave me an excuse to buy new pens." —Ben L. Stahl

Promising review: "You get a lot of wipes in each container, and they are full of the disinfecting solution. I have bought disinfecting wipes in the past that are dry and don't wipe more than a tiny area at a time. I can wipe my whole desk and file cabinet with just one of these wipes!" —amk

This stationery set includes a pen cup, mail organizer caddy, paper tray, magazine holder, and sticky note holder.
Promising review: "I love these desk trays — they are sturdy and add a pop of color and interest to my desk at work. There are little rubber feet on the bottom so they don't slide around my desk when I retrieve something from them. I have received numerous compliments on my fancy new desk accessories." —Turtlgrrl

Promising review: "It keeps my desk organized while still allowing me to have everything I need nearby. There are compartments that fit my cell phone, pens and a drink (no more knocking it over on the desktop). Plus, I can stash some things underneath if I need to. It looks great, was easy to put together, and is very sturdy, too." —MaraGen

The reusable head can be removed and tossed in the washing machine for cleaning.

Promising review: "Was looking for a way to hide my cable clutter. Easy to install, low profile but has tons of room. I bought three, so at 36" each, I was able to hide ethernet cables, USB cable, power strips, and power adapters. Everything is now tucked away cleanly and organized. Cleaning under the desk is a breeze with nothing there." —Repro63

Promising review: "This was exactly what I needed to declutter my desk. I actually wound up putting it under my external monitor to boost the height AND stash my ever-growing collection of notebooks and journals. They're sturdy and the acrylic is crystal clear." —N. Malone
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. I was afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite, it cleaned it as good as new. Got all those dog hairs between the keys! No smell lingering on the keyboard or my hands. No sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. Kind of fun to play with." —Billy

These actually have cork bottoms to prevent scratching.
Promising review: "I got these for work to keep my desk dry and when I am looking for a distraction, it is fun to pour water on it to watch it absorb. I was skeptical about if it would really absorb but it does so quickly!" —Tiffany

This mat is reversible — it's yellow on one side and navy blue on the other!
Promising review: "Spilled coffee on it day one and it was no problem — wiped right up. I write a lot and love the padding underneath my paper — my pen or pencil glides right across. We don't need mouse pads, and it looks great on our desks." —jodi

Promising review: "I had papers stacked here and there all over my desk and now they're sorted and stacked in their separate cubby. Not only was I able to sort documents and papers by subject, but I've also gained work area by making better use of verticle space. It was simple to assemble and put to use right away. I've received many comments already from co-workers about the functionality of this organizer. We've even ordered one for a co-worker. The price is a bit high, but it was worth it for the benefits I've gotten out of it already. I'm even thinking of ordering one for my desk at home!" —luv2antique

Promising review: "I was uncluttering my home workspace with a new, sleeker desk that has fewer cubbies and drawers than the old gargantuan desk I had before. That meant I still needed somewhere to put some of the remaining essentials (pens, pencils, paper, pads). This little cart serves the purpose perfectly. It forces me not to yield to the temptation of piling non-essential clutter all over the desk. But the things I really need are right here, hidden away in this little cart, next to my desk. The bedroom my workspace is in is much less cluttered than before. Highly recommended!" —Jimbo

It can shred eight sheets at once.
Promising review: "This shredder gets an A+ rating from me! I wanted a shredder to shred personal documents and cross-cut was the best way to go, at least for an at-home job. I've even shredded unopened envelopes without a problem. I've had shredders at work that cost a lot more than this one that didn't do nearly as good a job." —Kindle Customer
