Finally open your closet without getting covered in an avalanche of stuff.
1. A plastic bag dispenser that neatly fits in your drawer so you don't have to battle with five crushed cardboard boxes. You can store this horizontally in a drawer or get fancy and mount it vertically in a cabinet.
These come with optional sticker labels, so you know which size bag you're grabbing.
YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review:"I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three- or four-slot models).
2. A set of airtight food storage containers so you can ditch all the ripped cardboard and leaky flour bags you have in the cabinet right now. Speaking as someone who recently dealt with a pantry moth problem, airtight storage is the way to go.
www.amazon.com
This 14-piece set comes with reusable labels, a marker, *and* a measuring spoon set!
Promising review:"No matter how many times I tried to make the package clutter in my pantry look nice, it wasn't happening. I tried the pop-top containers before but things still got stale and were too expensive to do the entire pantry. This set was so affordable that I bought two of them and was able to finally get everything organized! I've had no issues with things getting stale and my 4 yr old is now able to easily see, access, and open cereal or snacks when he wants to. Definitely recommend!" — Fisch
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors and various multipacks).
3. Under-cabinet containers you can install in areas that were previously considered at capacity. They maximize space under sinks, in pantries, and beneath shelves, meaning you can finally fit even more stuff in your home! The jars are airtight and self-seal when you put them back, so you can store anything from coffee beans to cotton swabs in them.
Each jar is sold in a set of two or three and comes with their own magnetic rims and one stainless steel shelf plate.
Vascito is a Michigan-based small biz that provides high-tech home storage and organization products.
Promising review:"AMAZING! I love this product. The containers are a good quality and the rims unscrew for easy cleaning. They really are tightly sealed and there is no need for a lid. The customer service was fab, providing personalized labels and the delivery was amazingly quick considering I'm in England!" — samhhawk99
Get it from Vascito on Etsy for $44.96+ (available in four sizes and two colors).
4. An interlocking storage organization set that lets you harness the power of CUBES. Assemble them in whatever grid works best for your closet. The set comes with a little rubber mallet so you can feel like Bob the Builder while creating your ideal storage unit.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I put these in my closet to make extra shelves for sweaters/sweatshirts. They were easy to assemble and worked great at adding additional space to my closet. I like that my clothes don't topple over into the pile next to them anymore. They were easy to put together, and if I move they will be easy to take apart, put in a small box and move. I'm very happy with this purchase." — Goldensummerdog
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors and two pack sizes).
5. A slender storage cabinet you can sneak into the little space next to the toilet. Cleaning supplies, extra toilet paper, and reading materials are now conveniently within reach!

Promising review:"So easy to put together I could put it together with my eyes closed. fit amazingly perfectly between the tub and the toilet and it has created so much more space and my bathroom is no longer cluttered because of this product." — COS45B
Get it from Amazon for $25.10+ (available in two colors).
6. A document holder for your registration, insurance papers, and AAA card. If you really want to eliminate glovebox clutter, you can slip your emergency napkins into the roomy sleeve.

Promising review: "I love the fact that I have my registration, insurance card , AAA card, and I threw in a prepaid card for emergencies all in one NEAT place. It's slim compact and very nice looking too, Great Idea. It's time to get organized especially in your car." — Tammyrriah
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 colors).
7. A silverware sorter that takes up very little space in your drawer but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. With the extra space, the possibilities are endless. Maybe it's time for a novelty monstera slotted spoon?
www.amazon.com
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 in order 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
Get it from Amazon for $8.892.
PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $7.99.
8. A wineglass rack you can put anywhere in your home: on the bar cart, under kitchen cabinets, under floating shelves — you name it. This feels a little safer than just having them floating around in the cabinet, ready to fall out and shatter.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BTW, one rack can hold up to nine standard size glasses.
Promising review:"Overall very pleased with product. Found some floating shelves to match a cabinet. Then added these to make my custom wine stem rack. Quality better than expected and love the darker finish and not the standard Chrome option. These also were the right size for the width and depth of the Shelf. So far I've gotten several compliments." — Ms Lila
Get it from Amazon for $17.91+ (available in four colors and three sizes).
9. A spring-loaded coin holder made to fit neatly in your cup holder and help you quickly grab exact change for the toll booth or drive-thru cashier. This is certainly a one-up to my dad's method of filling a mini M&Ms tube with quarters.
www.amazon.com
The listing says this can hold up to $15 worth of coins, but reviewers are split on if that's true.
Promising review:"It's perfect. If you're looking for a simple, easy-to-use coin holder that fits in a cup holder, this is it. It might sound silly, but I've seriously bought a couple of similar products that were either too bulky, the coins kept getting stuck, or they didn't hold enough coins, etc. This is the first one that easily fits in my cup holder, held a good amount of change, and smoothly dispenses coins. Very glad I came across this product." — Michelley fo felly
Get it from Amazon for $13.12.
10. Divider sticky notes for note-takers who are not type A, but type A+++. The tabs will help break up the notebook and make it easy to scan, saving you more time to take more notes.

They come in a little book like case that helps keep them clean and protected when not in use. They are easy to peel and stick and then remove again as necessary. They do not damage books or papers at all. I use these for my day planner, noting recipes in cookbooks, taking notes in various craft books, taking notes on important documents so I remember what I need to do with them later. I will be buying these again when I run out." — Sarah Lee
