25 Target Items To Organize Your Home
A wire basket that can hold your go-to pantry staples so you can simply pull them down and have a go-to seasoning station. Or, you can store all your fruits and citrus in these in the fridge and be cute like that. Promising review: 'Looks awesome in my pantry! A little pricey but good quality. They also have bottom bars so you can stack if you want to!' —Target reviewerPrice: $20 A posh and neutral cleaning caddy to channel your inner beige-fluencer. With its wooden handle grip and brushed steel body, this rust-resistant caddy will see you through many a cleaning sesh and has capacity for days! Promising review: "I love how cute this looks! It also fits quite a bit of cleaning material. I love that it's not plastic, so it's very sturdy." —Bells47Price: $15.89 A rolling fridge caddy for those of us with free-floating condiments that have concealed one too many rotting produce bags. With built-in wheels and adjustable dividers, a fridge cleanout won't be nearly as dreaded as it used to be. Promising review: "I purchased this fridge organizer to replace a Lazy Susan I was using to store my condiments. The moveable dividers made this a better choice. It has wheels to move the shelf in and out of the fridge. Great investment!" —Deb OPrice: $19.99 A storage bench, which is just as beautiful as it is practical. If you're tired of blankets piling up in bedside chairs — not to mention messing up your freshly made bed by sitting on it to put your shoes on — solve both problems and give your room the dash of cozy elegance it deserves. Promising review: "Was pleasantly surprised with this piece since there were not a ton of reviews. Looks perfect in my space, and the quality seems good. Fabric is really soft and luxurious." –Katie MPrice: $128.99+ (originally $389.99; available in six colors) A three-tier wire drawer organizer to stow away anything and everything that can fit into a larger bathroom cabinet. Think hair brushes, bath bombs, Epsom salts — you name it! The easy sliding drawers won't rust over time, and you'll keep your a.m. routine shorter and much sweeter when you're not digging around crowded drawers. Promising review: "The drawers pull out so smoothly, and the shelf stays put on my desk perfectly!" —MeganPrice: $35 (available in five finishes) A gorgeous file storage box if you'd rather tuck away your storage in something that could pass for a decorative basket instead of a larger filing cabinet. With a sumptuous woven exterior and a deeply sleek look, you'll be printing things out just to have something to store in it. Promising review: 'I was looking everywhere for a system that could hold coupons and mail that still looked nice being out in my house. Most of what I found was either really geared toward an office setting or was mesh metal. I am so glad I could find this. It sits right in my entry way and hides all my coupons or mail that I don't want sitting out for my guests to see. It doesn't come with hanging file folders, but I bought a box of those to pair with this and they fit great. I'm planning on keeping restaurant menus, schedules, whatever I want filed away but still at the ready so I don't have to dig it out of my office. The lid comes off all the way, so if you are using this often that may be annoying for some people. It is fine for my purposes.' —Jay Price: $28 A mirror entryway organizer to help you get out the door without the 7+ trips it takes to get keys, wallet, cell phone, and sneak a quick 'fit check in before you head to work. With its sleek, wall-mounted design and integrated shelf and hooks, you'll be out the door in a flash and wondering where all your clutter went. Promising review: "This is perfect in my entryway! I love that we can put our keys and whatever else we don't want to forget on the way out the door. Perfect size." —Shields112Price: $60 A pair of zipper storage cubes if you're in the mood for some serious clutter-busting. These fabric storage cubes are perfect for stashing spare sheets or off-season clothing, and their see-through zipper windows make sure you won't have to dig through every single bin to find that one thing you were looking for. Promising review: "Wonderful storage solution! This is exactly what I've been looking for. The fabric is nice and thick, and they're well-made (love the window to see inside). The small size is perfect for storing my winter clothing. Some have mentioned that the interior metal frame slides, but if they're full, they don't slide. Very affordable since you're getting a pair for the price you pay. I will definitely buy more for other family members." —KTpaPrice: $25+ for two (available in three sizes) A freestanding wardrobe rack for folks who love their clothes so much they can't bear to have them out of sight! Or, you know, if there's no closet in your apartment. 😜 This chic brushed metal and wood grain option offers both style and substance with secure hardware and ample space. Feel free to accessorize the spare shelves with some greenery! Promising review: "Great product. This product is perfect for a small walk-in closet; clothing and accessories are visible at arm's reach. The installation is fairly easy and should take no more than a couple of hours.

Promising review: "Helps with desk clutter. This came exactly as pictured and worked well to quell the desk clutter I had. It is a little pricier than some of the other options out there, but it looks the best and isn't see-through. I put my charging cables inside to hide the cables when not in use, so I wanted something to fully hide them. There is a half circle in the front and a full circle cutout in the back, so you can easily route a cable in/out. My first one of these actually had a crack in the drawer, but Target was quick to offer an exchange." —GypsyPrice: $30 A birch-framed cork board since between notes, receipts, or any other kind of paper trail your work requires, it's nice to have a space to pin it and forget it. This classic cork board boasts a nice birch frame and is perfect for all your office needs or moodboarding. Promising review: "Was perfect for my long overdue (since 2008) project of displaying my mom's exquisite '70s- '80s Belgian Bobbin Lace corner samples, her hand-drawn patterns, and hand-pricked pin cards." —CDLgalPrice: $9.29 A rustic bathroom etagere that can hold all those vibe-y hand towels, candles, and little planters your dream bathroom longs to be adorned with. With sturdy construction and adjustable feet (for all the Virgos already mentally leveling each shelf), this posh addition makes itself at home in any bathroom — be it shiplap walls or subway tiled. Promising review: "Is just like the picture. Easy to put together by one person with little experience. Sturdy" —Snow angelPrice: $74.99 (originally $209.99) A jewelry organizer so you can accessorize in real-time without having to go through your entire jewelry collection each time. Also, it's great for being a quick catch-all after a long night out and a quick makeup removal before bed. Promising review: "Great size and style. Holds a surprising amount of necklaces, 10-12 of each. Fits in my closet for overflow necklaces and bracelets. Would work well on a bathroom counter or on top of a dresser too." —SDmama34Price: $20 A few bathroom drawer organizers to take your over-stuffed drawers from bleh to bliss. 🧘✨ Cleaning STARTS with organizing, after all, and with all kinds of sizes, shapes, and capacities to choose from, you can origami any drawer into order with these convenient little trays. Promising review: "I love these bins. I have many sizes. They are modular, so they stack using other sizes, too. I also like that they are plain and simple, and the plastic is thick and not flimsy. Great in the bathroom, kitchen, closet, wherever." —MMDPrice: $2+ (available in three sizes and two colors) A cable management box so your limited home office space isn't letting tangled cords live in it rent-free — not on my watch. Great for desks, media consoles, or anywhere where several electronics are in play. With five outlets, a surge protector, and no-show wire cutouts, what are you waiting for? Promising review: 'I absolutely love having outlets and cord organization all in the same place. This works perfectly under my desk to plug in all my electronics and it looks way better than having cords dangling everywhere.' —serena9Price: $30.99 (also available in black) A bamboo storage cabinet for the ones who really need to add some storage to the bathroom. This cute little number mixes a heck of a lot of shelf space with a large open storage cabinet with a slatted door that's perfect for stacking TP or any other bathroom items you don't always want to stare at.

Keep it uninvited to the party and free the ledge of your tub from any more accumulating product bottles with this chic and secure caddy. Promising review: "Love it! I've had mine for over a year, and it has not rusted at all and holds everything I need it to. I really love that it has the holes to be able to flip my products upside down for easy access — literally no need to even pick them up." —KaylPrice: $18 (available in three colors) A hinged bamboo organizer for those of us who need countertop storage in our storage. This handy bit of bathroom decor looks terrific and helps maximize storage for beauty products. Promising review: "Super cute and great for helping make the most out of small spaces." —AcardonaPrice: $25 A woven wastebasket because every bathroom needs a little trash bin, so why not make it this gorgeous little number instead of the standard can? Featuring a lovely textured pattern and an all-important lid (bathroom refuse is rarely beautiful), this basket will brighten up any WC it finds itself in. Promising review: "This wastebasket with a cover looks fabulous in our small white bathroom as it is just the right size with a top, which I really wanted to cover up the view of the wastebasket contents." —Cleaning productsPrice: $25 An office organizer set since all offices need a dose of stylish organization — whether you're in the corner office or the living room table. Frankly... you might need even more panache at the living room table since everyone will see it. 👀 This desk set includes a desk organizer, pen case, note holder, business card tray, and clip review: "My office looks perfect with all my new rose [gold] accessories! Love them!" —Kc17Price: $23.72 (originally $36.99) A wall rack if your MasterChef kitchen setup doesn't have a MasterChef amount of built-in storage. If keeping all your cooking tools in a drawer is simply a nonstarter, this sturdy hook holder presents a chic storage option so you can show off your vintage measuring cups. Just make sure to mount the rack on studs (or at least use wall anchors) if you plan to hang heavy pots and pans — drywall alone will not be up to the review: "I've been wanting one for years and had even looked into making one, but can't beat the price of these! I used shorter screws as I was attaching them under the cabinets and had no issues! Love the vintage cottagecore vibes." —AmanisPrice: $24.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors) A paper towel holder because there's nothing sadder than a free-floating roll of Bounty that took a spill right to the bottom of the roll. 😧 Keep your precious paper towels up and away from any sullying with this easy-to-install under-cabinet holder. This thing has a built-in tension spring that allows for easy tearing, and will save you so much counter-space, it's wild. Promising review: 'Love this! I chose to hang it under my cabinets, and it was very easy. Nice quick release to change towels. Looks great in my kitchen and bonus putting my other one in the laundry room. Awesome product!' —PretzPrice: $29.99 A wooden spice rack with three tiers if you feel like your spices (the VIPs of the kitchen, I might) deserve stadium seating. If you have several go-tos you don't want to have to rummage for, this rack will keep them close. It's also like a little cheering section — (announcer voice) ooh the sear is cinched and the cinnamon goes wild!!! Promising review: 'I bought this for my little pantry makeover and it is perfect! It fits about 18 of my spices, which is all I need. Love that it expands too!' —Target reviewerPrice: $20 A bamboo drawer organizer when your silverware is currently in a 24/7 mosh pit in one of your drawers. With five different compartments, light breezy bamboo finish, and the fact that it's not a naked drawer with silverware clanking around in it, it's a winner! Promising review: 'I was looking for a compartment for my silverware and this one fits perfectly in my cabinet!! I'm so happy I bought it. The quality is amazing and it adds a nice flare to my kitchen. Would definitely recommend it.' —ValeriaPrice: $14

Australia's China ties in focus as election rivals hunt for votes
Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese spent Easter Monday at the Golden Lily restaurant, posting photographs on Facebook with foreign minister Penny Wong showing a Lazy Susan laden with Chinese food. Albanese's choice of dining venue – in Box Hill, a Melbourne suburb where about 30 per cent of residents were born in China – was a reminder that Australia's May 3rd election could turn on which leader voters think is best equipped to manage foreign relations amid the turmoil of Donald Trump 's trade war. While the race has largely been fought on domestic cost-of-living issues, it also comes as Australia is grappling with how to balance its close ties to the US, its primary security patron, with China, its largest trading partner, especially as Trump has ratcheted up tensions with Beijing and applied more pressure to some of Washington's closest allies. 'The key part of the debate is how Australia charts a path with our key security allies at a time when Australians see an ongoing threat from China,' said Ryan Neelam, director of public opinion and foreign policy at the Lowy Institute think tank in Sydney. READ MORE Albanese and his conservative opponent, Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton, are both trying to appeal to Chinese-Australian voters, who have a heavy presence in a clutch of closely contested seats that could prove pivotal in a tight race. Australia's Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton. Photograph: David Gray/AFP via Getty Images China loomed over Australia's last election in 2022, when the incumbent Liberal-led coalition adopted an ultra-hawkish approach to Beijing. A large swing in seats with a high proportion of Chinese Australians helped deliver victory to Albanese's Labor Party, which took a more conciliatory line. The Liberals' 2022 anti-China stance was 'a real misread', said Osmond Chiu, a research fellow at the Per Capita think tank. Dutton, a combative former defence minister who three years ago told Australians to 'prepare for war', has since dramatically softened his tone. He now describes himself as 'pro-China', and also visited Box Hill, where he pledged to provide A$250,000 (€140,000) to future lunar new year fireworks celebrations. Dutton was trying to 'swing the pendulum' of Chinese-Australian voters back to his party, Chiu added. 'In 2022, the [then governing Liberal] coalition tried to put national security as the major issue,' he said. 'But in 2025, it is more about the US. It's a different dynamic.' Trump's hostility to allies including Canada, Ukraine and Greenland, and barrage of tariffs have rattled Australians and transformed the vote into a test of how smoothly the country can manage relations with Washington. His aggressive stance on China – maintaining tariffs of 145 per cent even as he has suspended levies elsewhere – have also created an uncomfortable situation for Australia, which relies on Beijing to take more than 25 per cent of its exports. A Lowy poll this month found voters were split on whether Albanese or Dutton would be better at handling Trump, but 41 per cent preferred the Labor leader on foreign policy, compared with 29 per cent for Dutton. Overall, voters' trust in the US to act responsibly had dropped to a 20-year low. Strikingly, Albanese has a sizeable lead over Dutton in dealing with China's leader Xi Jinping. One of the biggest achievements of the Labor prime minister's term has been a rapprochement with Beijing, which has lifted punitive tariffs on Australian goods including coal, wine, barley and rock lobsters that were imposed in 2020 after a Liberal administration called for an international investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tensions have jumped recently, however, after the Chinese navy conducted live-fire tests off Australia's east coast. Public debate has also picked up steam over a Chinese-owned company controlling the port in Darwin, where US soldiers are based. Nowhere is that pressure more felt than among Chinese Australians. About 5.5 per cent of the population is of Chinese ancestry, drawing on the descendants of immigrants during the gold rush in the 1800s as well as newer arrivals from mainland China as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. The community is particularly strongly represented in some of the country's most closely contested seats in Sydney and Melbourne that could help determine the balance of power. Wanning Sun, deputy director at the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney, said many Chinese-Australian voters might prioritise economic concerns, but there was still a 'very vivid memory' of hostility towards the community during the pandemic. Dutton's bellicose rhetoric had made an impression, she added, forcing the opposition leader into 'damage control' in an effort to win back Chinese-Australian voters' trust. Chiu at Per Capita said 'concern about China' had been a 'red meat' issue for the Liberal party's base in recent years. But the backlash in the 2022 campaign demonstrated that such a hardline attitude could tip the result in marginal urban seats. 'Chinese-Australian voters will be pivotal and could determine whether it's going to be a majority or minority government,' he said. − Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2025

Great value for money." — Kindle Customer Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.95 (also available with a scoop). 4.

This comes with a squeegee and a little shelf, and even rotates so you can get your best angle! Promising review:"I have tried multiple 'fogless' mirrors, but they all fail to live up to their claim.

A snap-on pasta strainer to free your pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare you storage space to boot (is it just me or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?). Psst — these are also a game-changer for washing your fruit, too! Amazon Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories.

Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, include soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.

A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll get you uniform, oh-so-satisfyingly cut veggies — this gadget juliennes, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess. Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier.

Who knew such a simple item would save so much time and less mess in the kitchen." — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $5.59. 12. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that keeps sandwich bread fresh by ensuring it stays *way* more airtight than it does in just the bag alone, and also lets you use the bread bag in a clever way to dispense slices one by one. Tons of reviewers are noting how much longer their bread stays fresh (and how much easier it is to store without worrying about it getting smushed!). Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action. Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes in unique household products. Promising review:"The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig Get it from Amazon for $13.59 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five styles). 13. A stainless-steel sandwich cutter and sealer for anyone with Uncrustables tastes and a mortal human budget. Now you can make your own at home in batches and freeze them — and better yet, customize them so they're stuffed with your favorite brands of peanut butter and jelly or meats and cheeses. It's an Uncrustable, but make it cheap and bougie. You can also freeze the leftover crusts to make bread pudding, French toast sticks, bread crumbs, and stuffing! Or just go to clown town and eat them right then. 😋 Promising review:"What a game changer for saving money compared to buying the Uncrustables in the store. They are ridiculously overpriced, and with this thing, you can make them at a fraction of the cost. It's really simple to use and works really well. Also, it's very easy to clean, although I would keep it out of the dishwasher to avoid rust. This thing crimps the edges of the bread really well, so there is no spillage or leakage. It works just as well with Nutella as it does with deli meats and cheeses. There's a little learning curve as far as where to put your ingredients, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy." — Josh Fowler Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 14. A clever silicone " Broombi," designed to flex harder than most of us have in a calendar year — it's an all-surface broom, squeegee, *and* pet hair remover, making it your one-stop shop for all your "fix this grimy floor IMMEDIATELY" needs.

Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" — Sandra Moyer Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). 15. A pack of five refillable touch up paint pens you'll be especially glad to have for those high traffic areas in your home, where things get bumped and chipped and knocked about.
