I don't think of myself as a hoarder, but I am messily sentimental. If I see a movie I really love, I may not throw away the ticket stub right away. If I'm not careful, all shelves, railings, and generally flat surfaces get littered with souvenirs from trips, possibly important receipts, and just random shit that I think may eventually be of use. Fortunately, organizers like these make it easy to keep what you need, and probably some of what you don't, without looking like you deserve a TLC series.
In the Kitchen: Food Storage Lid Organizer
Made of durable BPA-free plastic, this organizer can hold around forty lids of varying sizes. The dimensions are 11″ x 7.75″ x 3.75," and it's on sale today for $13.10.
In the Bathroom: Sorbus Makeup/ Jewelry Storage Case
Fill the four large drawers with makeup products, skincare samples, cotton swabs and q tips – the possibilities are endless. The sanitary, non-porous acrylic case is easy to clean and won't foster bacteria growth. Comes in a few different colors, for $17.99 today.
Under the Sink: Vremi Expandable and Adjustable Organizer
With a compact size and adjustable height, this creates more storage and order in small areas. Slide the shelf blocks around to your liking so that tall, slim items like a mop or broom handle can be stored vertically in between the slats. $18.99 today.
In the Laundry Room: HAWATOUR Portable Elastic Clothesline
This simple setup for line-drying laundry will come in handy at home or while on a trip. The bungee cords can be wrapped around a pole, pipe or branch as many times as necessary to gain tension for a shorter line. I could've used something like this when saving money by foregoing the dryer when studying abroad in college, or to maximize drying space when taking care of finicky garments in a studio apartment.
