The five-piece set includes two under-shelf baskets and three stacking shelves to make the VERY most of your vertical space.

Promising review: "What do you do when you live in a house with very limited space but you're a collector of a great many spices and kitchen gadgets? You go vertical! These racks have been very helpful in saving space in our kitchen cabinets. I've been able to consolidate all of my spices that were housed in two cabinets and now are housed in one — this is a great help given that we only have eight cabinets! This also helped us to consolidate our canned goods from three cabinets into two cabinets. Measure your cabinet space before you order these; they are larger than you might think. They seem very strong and well made. We have been using them for a little more than a month." —nclovely1

Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but with this metal basket it minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. The bars are adjustable as well(just use the twisties it came with to secure them in place, but the basket fit perfectly to my cabinet). Worth the buy. :)" —Alyssa Jewell

Get it from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in seven finishes).

You can also get storage systems specifically for Dyson hair dryers and Air Wraps, which 🧠!

It'll help keep track of your to-do lists, calendars, schedules, and goals (both short- and long-term), and even will help you make and keep habits!

Promising review: "I love planners and every single one I have ever gotten fell short in someway. Not this planner. It has been so helpful and I love the order and flow of the pages...everything just simply makes sense and goes beyond what any average planner can do...completely and keeps me on track and sticking to my goals! Best planner I've ever purchased!" —Kelsey Dyer

It has a clock you can mark your appointments on, to-do list, space for notes, achievements, water in take, and meals and a *special section for the top three things that MUST get done today. I will be purchasing this ASAP.

Promising review: "You can stop scrolling around looking for the perfect planner because this one is absolutely PERFECT. Really helps manage my time and keeping track of things all across the board. I also appreciate the positivity it exudes. Starts my day off just right!! I'll definitely be ordering more." —Brit

Promising review: "I love this makeup organizer! I could not believe how inexpensive it was, because it is very well made! I wanted to wait a while before reviewing it to see how it held up. It's been almost two months and I have not had one problem with it! And, this is the longest my makeup has stayed organized. I highly recommend. I purchased two! One with four small drawers and three large drawers. and one with two small drawers and four large drawers. Both have the same organizer on top. The color is awesome! Of course, I love pink —especially this soft pink. If you are looking for a makeup organizer this is the one!" —Shelly

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in 10 colors, and two configurations: three large drawers and four small drawers or four large drawers and two small drawers).

It comes with two wide and two narrow bins, an egg holder, and an organizer great for cans.

Promising review: "I bought them to try so solve the clutter mess in the fridge and so far it has been awesome! Now my husband respects the space for every kind of item. Really satisfied with my purchase! P.S. The plastic material is really durable and resistant, which is a plus." —Erika Shelton

Get it from Amazon for $35.86.

Gotta maximize that vertical space, friends.

Promising review: "Sturdy and light-weight, this closet rod doubled my available space in seconds. There is plenty of space on the top rod for longer shirts and tops and shorter ones fit perfectly on the lower rod, without gracing the floor. Hangers stay in place and don't slide to one end or the other based on how heavy items are and so far the rod hasn't sagged or bowed at all. And I have all my sweatshirts and heavy fleece jackets on the bottom rod. Space will obviously depend on the height of the closet rod you hang this from, but I would highly recommend this for anyone with need of more closet space!!" —CCBunE

Get it from Amazon for $7.72.

They're made from a mold-proof fabric, too, so that's cool. And *bonus*: they collapse to store flat when not in use. You get four bins: a six-cell (for scarves, hankies, and ties), an eight-cell (great for undies), a seven-cell (designed for bras), and a 24-cell (great for socks)

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

Get the set of four from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors).

The pieces just *snap* together for easy assembly, and the design expands to fit whatever size drawer you have.

Promising review: "Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but... It's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." —Brigette

Get it from Amazon for $9.12.

Add a little method to the madness of your next Target run.

Promising review: "This is the best. I can't express how much better this has made my grocery shopping experience — faster, more organized, and more comprehensive. No more 'oh, what else do we need?' brainstorming sessions at home, and no more 'we have to walk down every aisle to make sure we didn't forget something' when you're at the store. It makes meal planning easy and generally hits on most of the things I need at the store. I only wish it were truly customizable for MY general shopping needs — that would be the perfect shopping list." —Reasonable Person

Get it from Amazon for $10.50+ (available in four colors, plus specialized lists for keto, vegetarian, and vegan diets).

Promising review: "I have older cabinets & you never know if the cardboard boxes the bags come in will fit properly in the drawer. This is so much easier! I buy value size boxes of the ziplocks, put them into these boxes in my drawer & refill as needed with extras with my other extra items like paper towel in pantry. Keeps my drawer neat, clean & organized. My bf thought it was a waste of money when they arrived and now he raves about them to everyone who comes over. Such a little thing has made me so happy." —Chazelle R.

The set includes five 0.5-cup, five 1.25-cup, five 2-cup, two 3-cup, two 5-cup, and two 7-cup containers, plus the lids (of course).

Promising review: "These are rated #1 and I can see why! They are microwave and dishwasher safe. I love how they stack together and that the lids fit a couple different sizes! Very sturdy and they look great! I hate dealing with container messes so much!! These have helped keep things more organized and makes it easy to find a lid or a container without losing my mind! The containers nest together, and the lids can stack on top of each other too. Locks firmly too! Yet it's easy to take the lids off. Extra bonus for me! I've already washed them, and they came out perfectly! Love these!! I bought the 42-piece set. It had enough variety in container storage and lids! I'm very happy I bought these!! I highly recommend them!" —Geo

The dividers are adjustable so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have!

Promising review: "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." —Laura H.

Promising review: "This hanging folder set is EXACTLY what I've been needing. I ripped the calendar off the wall and put it right up the moment I got it. It immediately went to good use and cleared up my cluttered desk full of various paperwork. Love the color-coded folders. Although I was worried about how flimsy it might be, it seems sturdy and well made." —Karen

They also work as trays to protect your counter from coffee drips. This bb holds 50 capsules!

Promising review: "This solves several 'inconveniences' with using my Nespresso. First, storage of the pods...obviously. Has lots of room. Perfect. Second, my Nespresso machine is just tall enough to place a regular coffee cup underneath. BUT...I use a travel mug, and it’s too tall to fit under. Not anymore. With my Nespresso on this rack (towards the front edge), I can now fill my travel mug, no problem. LOVE it!" —Michelle O.

Keep your frozen groceries together, your jugs of detergent upright, and your car snacks within easy reach. And it has straps to keep everything secure, whether it's in your trunk or on your front seat.

Promising review: "I love this trunk organizer for my SUV. I can secure it with the tie-down straps provided and they work very well. I can collapse one side of it to make it smaller if needed. Although I keep mine set up all the time, you unlatch it, fold it completely down and store it easily if necessary. This organizer is perfect for those big shopping days with family and friends. We each have our own area to put our packages so we know what to grab when we get home. It's also perfect for groceries so I can keep the cold things together, and the bottles and drinks from tipping over or sliding around in the back. This organizer is spacious, made of quality materials, and is well-made (sewn and constructed well). It's really the perfect organizer that will provide you years of use!" —ikc8460

Because frayed wires = frayed nerves.

Promising review: "I've been looking for a good way to carry my headphones in what could be generously called the 'unorganized' pocket of my work shirt. This thing is perfect. I've had jean jackets that had worse snaps than this thing — it snaps shut nice and solid. The leather is thick enough that it doesn't fold easily, keeping the buds stowed tightly." —Dean D.

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in five colors, plus sets of two and three).

It also has a brainstorming section so you can think up all the different things you'd like to be a little more accountable for. Each month has a different illustration and theme for suggestions too (for example, October is sleep-themed!).

Promising review: "LOVE my habit calendar. Perfect for tracking daily exercise goals. I've been using it to track my training for my upcoming black-belt test. Before I was using a regular calendar and putting stickers on days when I trained. But this way I can track which specific training I did (push-ups, crunches, etc.) each day. Cannot recommend enough." —Summer Ballentine

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six finishes).

It also comes in a version just for knives and one for kitchen utensils and gadgets.

Promising review: "I thought this would be handy, and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two, because I inherited my grandmothers silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Jerimi

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

See the look on this model's face? It's time to order two.

Promising review: "This shoe rack is awesome! Made a huge difference in my closet space with how many pairs of shoes I have. Very simple to put together. I put all my boots and taller shoes on the top and everything else fit nicely underneath. Fits a lot of shoes compared to other racks I've looked at and is great quality for the price! Five stars" —Hotshot2567

Promising review: "I am in the process of filling this out for my 50th anniversary trip, as well a girl trip and a sister trip....love how it helps you organize what you are going to do each day as well as how many miles you will have to drive. I added my confirmation numbers, the names and addresses and phone numbers of each place. I am not an organized person normally, but this should help!" —Becky Simmons

Get it from Amazon for $7.75.

This bb has spaces for your phone, coffee cup, office supplies, and more.

Promising review: "This monitor stand is AWESOME! I'm a person who likes lots of places to store things. Pockets, organizers, drawers, I have way too much crap, and way too many places to store it all. But this stand keeps my actual desktop really well organized. I got a few desk items on-hand so that everything else can go in the drawer organizer I have, and my desk can be clean. It blends well with my natural-wood/weathered-oak desk. It also puts my monitor at a great height. I'm actually looking at the screen instead of up or down." —Victoria Horger

Get it from Amazon for $28.08 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for-sure buy!" —momonono

Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Super cute and well packaged "banana hammock" as I like to call it! The install was very easy. Mine (Large) held a dozen red potatoes, several lemons and limes, a sweet potato, and a few bananas. My condo is <600 sf and this is a game changer for counter space!" —Anne Hanks

Promising review: "This is one of the most useful purchases I've ever made on Amazon. I use it every single day to hang my keys. I've had it for at least half a year now it seems. It hasn't lost any magnetism and it holds my car keys, remote start, USB, rewards/gift cards, house and work keys, etc. I'm in love. One of the best purchases I've made." —Makenah

No more searching for missing hangers, no more cluttering up your space with empty hangers. We love an easy solution!

It keeps my plastic hangers under control and I no longer suffer 'clothes hanger rage' from them getting tangled and not cooperating with me." —msw

Promising review: "I've been using this folder for nearly two to three months and I'm a college student with a lot of papers to carry. I was looking for something cute, easy to carry, that fits manila folders, and overall keeps folders from getting crinkly. This DID IT. I can't express how much I love this — I got a second one that is coming very soon! Nothing gets crinkled or bent and it is great. I can throw loose leaf papers, folders, or even books/small notebooks in here. It's adorable and a great color. I highly recommend this folder (I got a lot of compliments on it as well!)" —Alexa Viz

Promising review: "I will spare you the horrific 'before' picture of the complete nightmare that was my closet floor. Just imagine a dusty mess with shoes thrown all over each other in a sad attempt at giving some appearance of order, and you will have a good idea of why buying this shoe organizer was one of the best ideas I've had this year. The floor now looks so neat and tidy I can't believe my eyes every time I open my closet doors." —Veronica, just an average reader, you know?

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $32.95 (also available in packs of 10 and 40).

Promising review: "Perfect RFID-blocking wallet for traveling abroad. Fits my passport, money (bills and coins), credit cards, and even a pen nice and compactly. Worked perfectly in my big bag as well as in my small evening purse. Not a soft plush leather but exactly what you'd expect for the money. Functional, durable and nice selection of color choices." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 39 colors).

Stack 'em vertically or horizontally — which ever makes the most sense to make the most out of your space!

Promising review: "These are so nice to have. You can turn it on it's side for storing cutting boards, platters, baking sheets, or lids. I am using them to store cast iron. It's sturdy as it's holding all of the heavy cast-iron pieces. I prefer it laying on it's side, horizontal. I have purchased a couple for family members and myself. They really help keep things nicely organized." —KinDallas

Get it from Amazon for $16.87 (available in three colors).

It comes with all the hardware you need to mount it, too.

Promising review: "This was a perfect choice for organizing the bottom of our messy pantry. The racks and sliders are heavy duty, commercial like design of chromed steel. Not like some of the junk you see at big box stores. The extend completely out of the pantry for full access. I am fairly confident we will never have to repair or replace. It's about a 5 minute job to assemble and in our case about another 5 minutes to slide into place and screw into the back wall. They are shipped in a sturdy double layer box and banded, arrived in perfect condition. I did lose a little space in the pantry to the left and right sides, more of the sizing of the pantry than anything else. Would not hesitate to recommend." —Doug Tackett

Get it from Amazon for $174.99 (also available in a 12" size for smaller cabinets).

Promising review: "I love these stackable jewelry trays. They take up less space on the dresser, but organize the jewelry remarkably well. When stacked and the top one covered, your jewelry can remain dust free. There are more than enough holders, which are lined with a non-abrasive cloth. Well made and great for organizing." —Alot2do

Get it from Amazon for $35.90 (available in two colors, plus you can also buy the individual trays to meet your jewelry needs).

These allow me more writing space to highlight notes on that specific page that is really useful for my college studies as well as case note prep for legal work. Overall, if you are a fanatic note taker like me, these are superb for helping stay organized and focused on important information. Could be used for various things such as calendar/agenda notes as well." —Danielle W.

Promising review: "For so may years I have been going into my purse trying to find something and especially when I am in a hurry to get to my wallet or keys, or whatever, it is sitting at the bottom. With this new purse organizer I can just put my hand into the purse and come right out with whatever I needed. Whoever invented these organizers should get a prize. No more jamming my hand into my purse and coming out with the wrong thing I was looking for." —Angie, Fallon, NV

Get it from Amazon for $16.28+ (available in six sizes and in 23 colors).

Highly recommend this item. My only regret is not getting one sooner." —Lois

It can hold two golf bags, plus shoes, balls, gloves, and more so all your stuff can be in one spot. Grab 'n' go to the green!

Promising review: "Thank you Amazon for offering this nifty little organizer.... it has saved my marriage. My husbands golf crap was literally EVERYWHERE in the house... and while this annoyed me, it was also equally annoying for my husband who could never find what he was looking for. This organizer gave us the solution to our problems. I bought a little basket for one of the shelves, to hold balls and tees and all that, the top shelf holds his hats du jour, the others hold his current rotation of golf shoes. It fits both of our bags, even though his is a massive pro bag... so definitely nice and roomy. I would recommend this for anyone who is as picky as my husband and demands that all his golf stuff stay in the house, versus the garage. This is really the only way to make it all look nice and de-cluttered, inside your house! LOL! :)" —Nicole M

Get it from Amazon for $87.09.

Promising review: "It's light but sturdy. The color is perfect and it's bigger than I expected. It holds my four remotes and still have room to put my phone so its not just on the nightstand.

Promising review: "Bought this as my roommate and I kept getting tricked by our cat to double feed her. She can be very deceptive (look how adorable she is)! This product has prevented me from double feeding her twice in the first week of use! Highly recommend. We leave our feeding reminder right on top of her hinged feeding container. 5/5 stars!" —Travis H.

Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (also available in black).

It comes with cords (three iPhone-compatible, two micro-USB) too!

Promising review: "I bought this for use in my charging cabinet, where I had an outlet installed to keep all my kids' devices charged and organized. It can get pretty cluttered in there with multiple devices and cords of different lengths. Longer cords and base plugs get taken so hard to keep it organized and this has really helped. Short cords are always there and don't get tangled. Charger has worked well so far after a couple weeks. Kids like using it. Good solution." —T. Schmidt

Get it from Amazon for $33.14 (available in eight colors).

And at the end, there are two pages for holiday budgeting, and two pages for an annual summary to track your progress throughout the year.

Promising review: "I'm new at attempting a budget. It only took me 54 years to figure out it was a good idea. I have been extremely pleased with the three different Clever Fox planners that I own, so I decided to go with this budget journal/tracker. I am so very glad I did. I find it extremely user-friendly and simple to use; I don't feel overwhelmed at all. It is extremely well-made, and I love the paper quality. The purple is so pretty! If you're new to budgeting like me, or an old hand at it, I think you'll be very pleased with this one." —K Howard
