Creative organization solutions that aren't just, say, a giant plastic tub.

2. A set of storage bags to make proper use out of your under-bed space. They're ideal for out-of-season clothing, books, extra shoes, or anything else you don't need now but might need soonish.
www.amazon.com
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn
Get two bags from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in four styles and in packs of four).
3. A five-tier document tray so you can sort through that intimidating mountain of paper on your desk. Tax docs, receipts, and fanmail (soon to arrive for your amazing organization skills) should probably all get their own sections. And the trays slide out so you can grab what you need with ease.
Amazon

One reviewer used this cabinet to lock in humidity for their houseplants!
Promising review: "These cabinets arrived super quickly and packaged very well! They were fast to build and fairly easy to move. Not only are they incredibly cute, but they look very well made once they are put together. The shelves are adjustable and super easy to move around to be as big or small as you choose! The doors are also very easy to put on and take off. I chose to leave them off because I want easy access to my books, but they are absolutely lovely, with or without the doors on them! I can't recommend them enough!" — Summer
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
5. A bamboo cabinet in two styles (counter and wall mount) more than happy to obscure your kitchen clutter from prying eyes. The fluted glass is just opaque enough to hide your collection of mason jar tops and mostly forgotten kitchen tools.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Exactly as pictured. It looks nice and high quality. Assembly was pretty easy and the needed tools were included. Very well and carefully packaged, it arrived in perfect condition. I love the size, design, and functionality. I got it to store glasses by my water cooler and it's perfect with the adjustable shelf. Overall — love it!" — Pamela H.
Get it from Amazon for $83.99+ (available in six styles).
6. A four-tier stair organizer perfect for perfume bottles, figurines, snow globes, or whatever else is currently in need of a permanent home. Whatever you display, it'll look a lot better like this than strewn across your dresser.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These are such great quality! I've had others that ended up sagging in the middle, leaving me concerned my fragrances were in danger of breaking. My daughter had purchased these long before I purchased mine, and hers have held up beautifully. Although these were more expensive, you get what you pay for! I highly recommend these over other cheaper-made models for peace of mind that your fragrances will be safe!" — Tammy Caudell
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and packs of one, two, or three).

Amazon
It'll keep your frozen groceries together, your drinks upright, and your car snacks within easy reach. It has straps to keep everything secure, whether it's in your trunk or your back 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 well-made (sewn and constructed well). It's really the perfect organizer that will provide you years of use!" — ikc8460

9. A dust-free sectioned tray that'll help you sort your jewelry and various baubles, encouraging you to wear more than the same pair of earrings every day. Remember those gold studs your grandma gave you? Now you can actually find them!
www.amazon.com
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 $14.99+ (available in four styles and different pack options).
10. An elastic organizer to detangle the huge ball of cords and chargers tumbling around in your bag.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I used to be like you. Wake up, blindly shower, maybe make some eggs if you have any energy left after those other chores. Weren't you planning on going to the gym this morning? Ugh, sorry, health, lifting all the hard drives and other electronics from one bag and putting them in the other will have to do again because it takes forever to get everything I need later in the day across the border from pack to duffel. Grid-It is like a Nexus pass for bags. Cross packs in seconds securely and hassle-free. You will be amazed by the gear combos you can pack on just one of these. I carry envelopes and stamps in the zip-up pocket on the back now and get a weird amount of admiration for keeping such old-school yet extremely relevant supplies on hand for friends or passers-by." — Josh
Get it from Amazon for $14.24.

Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true." — Brad J. Leahy

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 of 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+ (originally $59.95; available in four sizes and two colors).
16. 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 $9.52+ (available in three sizes).
PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $11.99.

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-year-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).
18. 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

BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah.
Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well-made and very unique.

Small retailers on 'vacation from hell' as they seek clarity on Trump's China tariffs
When Matt Kubancik, a small business owner in Louisville, Kentucky, cast his ballot for Donald Trump in November, he was hoping that the Republican nominee's return to the White House would provide a spark to the economy and lead to reduced prices for gas and groceries. Instead, the first half-year of Trump's second term in the White House has been more like a "vacation from hell," Kubancik said. Guardian Baseball, the baseball goods company he co-founded in 2018, mostly relies on manufacturers in China, which is locked in a full-blown trade war with the U.S. It didn't take long for Kubancik to regret his vote. After 20 years as a Republican, Kubancik changed his registration to Democrat last month. "I've been a registered lifelong Republican. I've supported independent candidates and Democratic candidates in the state of Kentucky before, but this made it enough to switch parties," Kubancik said in an interview. "I don't feel the country is headed down the right path." While the stock market has bounced back from a brutal start to the year, thanks largely to the Trump administration pausing its most extreme tariffs announced in April, small retailers that rely on imports to stay afloat are stuck in no-man's land. Tariffs from China are still at a historically high rate of 30%, coming down at least temporarily from Trump's prior announcement of 145% after the two countries reached a 90-day truce on May 12. The big concern is what happens when that three-month agreement expires in August. Both countries have already accused each other of violating the preliminary trade agreement. Guardian Baseball sells its products on Amazon and in brick-and-mortar stores like Walmart. Even at a rate of 30% for goods from China, its costs are significantly higher than they were before Trump took office. Some small businesses have stopped ordering more inventory or are hitting pause on new product development while they wait to see how the situation evolves. Others have been forced to raise prices because they can no longer afford to digest higher import costs. The struggles faced by businesses like Guardian Baseball don't necessarily show up in the data. According to a survey of 270 business leaders released on Monday from Chief Executive Group, less than 30% of CEOs forecast either a mild or severe recession over the next six months. That's down from 46% who said the same in May and 62% in April. And a quarterly report published Tuesday from the National Federation of Independent Business showed that optimism increased slightly in May from April, though "uncertainty is still high among small business owners," NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg said in the release. U.S. and Chinese officials late Tuesday concluded two days of trade talks in London. Under the preliminary agreement, the U.S. would apply 55% tariffs on Chinese goods, Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The full details of the agreement have yet to be released. Trump said the deal is subject to approval by his administration and China President Xi Jinping. "President Xi and I are going to work closely to open up China to American Trade," Trump wrote in a post. "This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!" Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC's "Money Movers" on Wednesday that U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports won't change from their current levels, even as a trade deal between Washington and Beijing has yet to be finalized. The White House didn't respond to a request for comment. Like Kubancik, Alfred Mai says his business has mostly been in wait-and-see mode during the trade dispute, despite the 90-day pause announced in May. Mai, co-founder of card game company ASM Games, said he grew increasingly worried last month as he thought about the "huge" inventory order he needed to place in time for the crucial holiday shopping period. He told his manufacturing partners to expedite production and speed shipments to the U.S. as fast as possible. "I have no idea what the situation will look like after the 90-day pause, so I would rather take a gut punch now than to potentially be wiped out in the future by a massive tariff increase," Mai said in an email. The order is slated to arrive just as the short-term agreement between the U.S. and China ends. But if rates increase before his shipment makes it stateside, Mai said he may not be able to afford the tax needed to take ownership of his "vital holiday inventory." Prices are going up regardless. With a tariff on China of 30%, Mai said he'll likely have to raise prices by 10% to 20% and hope that consumers are willing to pay. At Down Under Bedding, which is based just south of Toronto in Canada, Tony Sagar says "everything's on hold." Sagar's company sources some of its goose down pillows and duvets from China and is considering discontinuing some of its lower-margin items because it can no longer to afford to compete with cheaper rivals. "We've basically stopped any kind of importing or planning," Sagar said in an interview. Last month, Sagar said he was forced to refund a customer who purchased a $150 duvet but refused to pay $277 in additional tariff charges. He ran into the same issue last week after a shopper ordered a $595 duvet that came with a tariff bill of almost $1,200. Sagar said he now contacts "every single U.S. customer" after they place an order to make sure they're willing to pay extra duties. In addition to the China levy, the Trump administration placed a 25% tariff on goods from Canada. "Any time I hear that ding from Shopify, I have to worry about where the order is coming from," Sagar said. Greg Shugar, who operates multiple apparel businesses, said the problem with trying to plan for the future is that policy decisions are "all about Trump's ego." "If we understood the true motivation behind the administration we'd know where to go or what to do," said Shugar, co-owner of women's clothing company Carrie Amber Intimates and men's accessory maker Beau Ties Vermont. Shugar said Trump's shifting position on tariffs has left him paralyzed on whether or not to move production out of China. Last month, he joined a group of other small business owners at an event organized by the National Retail Federation, with a plan to bring their concerns to the White House. The group met with a representative from the Trump administration for about 30 minutes. Shugar said he left feeling more pessimistic about the tariff situation than before he walked in the door. "We're not going to eat a 30% tariff and neither is the consumer," Shugar said. "So there's actually no winners, there's only losers with these tariffs." After Walmart warned last month that it will have to raise prices, Trump told the retail giant to "eat the tariffs." Kubancik of Guardian Baseball said his company "got a big break" last year when it signed a deal with Walmart to put its products in 3,000 stores. Now he's delaying inventory orders from China and taking a more conservative approach to coming up with new products, because the company can't afford to take on added risk. "It felt like we finally made it as a brand," Kubancik said. "And now it feels like a plane nosediving."

Costco is exploring options to make membership more valuable, CEO says
Costco shoppers may soon be getting more bang for their buck. Three months after the retailer extended hours at its North American gas stations, CEO Ron Vachris has said the wholesale club is reviewing the possibility of keeping its stores open longer as well. Vachris said on the company's May 29 earnings call that customer response to the gas station changes has been exceedingly positive. "The combination of expanded gas station hours, new gas station openings and lower prices at the pump have led us to having two of our all-time highest gallon weeks in the U.S. during the last month," Vachris said. As a result, the chain is looking into giving customers the opportunity to spend more time and money inside its stores. "We continue to look at the operations side of things as well," he said. "The warehouse hours." Business Insider reported this week that beginning at the end of the month, Costco will begin allowing members who pay for its $130 Executive Membership into stores an hour earlier than regular $65 Gold Star members. "Our Executive Members are our most loyal members, and we want to reward them for their commitment to Costco," an internal email cited by Business Insider reads. Indeed, Executive Members make up 73% of Costco's sales despite representing only 37.6 million of the company's 79.6 million memberships, according to Costco data. Costco did not respond when reached for comment by CNBC Make It. The main selling point of the Executive Membership is the 2% cash back reward given on every dollar spent at Costco. If you're a Gold Star member thinking about upgrading, you'd need to spend at least $3,250 per year for the membership to start to be worthwhile. Anything below that, and you'll end up spending more money overall with the higher annual fee. The Executive membership also offers additional savings on Costco services like their bottled water delivery and pet insurance. If you buy your home or auto insurance through Costco, the Executive membership will get you some exclusive benefits such as roadside and lockout assistance. If you're on the cusp of a $3,250 annual spend but also use those services, it might make the membership worthwhile. Costco promises to refund the difference in cost between a Gold Star membership and an Executive membership in your first year if you aren't satisfied.
