USEFUL THINGS THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP YOU STAY ORGANIZED
Magnetic Backed Kitchen or Office Ziggyboard Chalkboard with Light Blue chalk marker 12 x 16 inches
By Kevin C
Color: Blackboard w/ White|Verified Purchase
This product is wonderful! I wanted something I could place on my fridge and use as a shopping list/memo pad. After reading a few bad reviews of some other similar products on Amazon, I was hesitant to go this route but decided to give it a try. It was worth it!
The magnet is very powerful and sticks to the fridge with no slipping or movement. The white marker that is included with the purchase works great. It doesn’t drip or run when writing and easily wipes off with just a damp cloth or paper towel. As I’ve read from some other product reviews, it doesn’t leave any ghosting behind and cleans completely off with no hard scrubbing or chemicals.
I highly recommend both the chalkboard and the marker and will be looking into getting additional marker colors from this same brand.
InterDesign Classico Over the Door 12-Hook Rack for Coats, Hats, Robes, Towels – Chrome
Color: Chrome|Style Name: 6 Hook|Verified Purchase
When I visit friends and relatives, there is never a place to hang my clothes or towel. I usually end up utilizing bed posts or the edge of doors. Well these hooks remedied that inconvenience for my guest room. People really do appreciate having a place for their robe, towels, clothes, etc. I also bought one for my parents just so they had them when I came to visit 🙂 I’m making the world a better place, one guest room at a time.
Erin Condren 18 Month LifePlanner – Minimalist Royal Hourly Layout Neutral Interior
By M and M
Style: Horizontal Layout|Color: Colorful Interior|Verified Purchase
Love this planner! I bought it to help organize my life as I enter my masters program, and it’s just what I needed. The cover is not ‘hard cover’ but it is a thick laminate and does the job well. Great quality of paper, nice colors, sturdy dividers, and even extra stickers and a little folder in the back. I would highly recommend this product!
Periea Handbag Organizer, Liner, Insert 12 Compartments – Chelsy (18 Colors, 3 Sizes)
By SuziR
Size Name: Medium|Color: Black|Verified Purchase
This is one of those items that you wonder how you ever lived without it once you discover it. It’s the first time I’ve been able to reach everything I need to in my bag without rummaging, blind feeling for items and frustration. It’s the perfect size for medium/large bags and even fits snugly in my smaller bags (if you are a huge hobo bag/tote person you might want a larger size or get two). I have all these great handbags that I miss out on using at times because the idea of transferring every item is daunting. I’m one of those “prepared for anything” people that even carries safety pins and travel toothbrush etc. – everything fit perfectly in the various compartments without being crowded and my wallet and makeup bag fit perfectly in the center opening. My sunglass case is bulky and I leave that on the side, but otherwise everything fits, is easy to remove and put back and transferring bags is now as easy as removing the organizer and sunglass case and plopping them in the next bag. I was afraid that it would be great at first, then as I actually use the items they wouldn’t go back in easily if I was rushing and things would get messy again, but that hasn’t been the case. If you don’t pack it too tightly, everything slides back in easily and you will even learn to do it without looking if you keep the layout consistent (I slide my cell phone back in its designated slot without even looking now). The quality is decent.
P.S. Just a comment for people that complained it doesn’t stand up or “isn’t as large as it looks”… it absolutely stands on its own and doesn’t collapse or shift if you PUT STUFF IN IT (even in a bag that’s much larger, weight keeps it stable) And regarding size, measurements are clearly provided along with examples of items that fit so I’m not even sure I understand that comment.

Sterilite 16428012 6 Quart/5.7 Liter Storage Box, White Lid with Clear Base, 12-Pack
By Danielle
Size: 6-Quart|Verified Purchase
I bought 48 of these containers. Of the 48 that I purchased 2 arrived broken which I didn’t think was bad but based on other reviews I would assume this is common so price a few broken containers into your purchasing decision. Despite several arriving broken they are more than sturdy enough for shoes and I have them stacked 10 high and could have easily stacked them higher. They stack very easily and fit together well. I wear a size 8 1/2 and I love high heels and even my highest heels fit into the boxes although for heels over 5 inches you do have to angle the shoes opposite each other and lie them flat to fit them into the box. Overall I would recommend these containers and I plan to buy more when my shoe collection expands.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing
By Amazon Customer
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
Marie Kondo says something to the effect of: If you read this book and feel as though it is you, then it is meant to be. Not a direct quote, but something that resignates with me as I read some of the negative reviews. This book spoke to me, it was truly magic. When I moved 9 months ago, I took approx 3 car loads of belongings to goodwill, thinking that I had done a darn good job of getting rid of unnecessary items. Yet still, my home continued to be rather cluttered and storage spaces felt messy no matter how much I tried to organize. I have read a multitude of books and articles, searched on Pinterest and other sites about organization. Read things on minimalism that were just unrealistic to me. I wanted to be more minimalist, but just couldn’t get myself to only own 12 items in my kitchen. Nothing was quite right. Marie addresses all of these problems in her book and why they may or may not work. When I started reading I thought that I might be able to find a few things to discard and some new ways to organize the clutter I currently have. This was definitely, not the case. I purchased this book on Friday and have only tackled the category of clothing and 1 “catch all ” bedroom I had because I had a guest coming to stay. I’m not even finished with those 2 places in my home and I have 2 large sized black garbage bags full, 4 smaller trash bags full, 1 medium sized box, and 3 of those reusable sized shopping bags and a pile of clothes still on the floor, all ready to leave my house. If you had asked me yesterday how many pairs of shoes I owned, I would have answered “maybe 20-25”. When I took EVERY SINGLE shoe in my house and laid it out on the floor – not missing a single pair – it was eye opening, this is the magic of it. Taking a single category of item and laying it all out for you to truly see it. 59 pairs of shoes in all laid in front of me when I did this, some that I don’t even remember purchasing or owning. Which is sad because I organized them all 9 months ago… I am happy to say I am down to 26 pairs right now. I even put 2 pairs that I had chosen to keep in the discard pile this morning after thinking “they are still new and cute” and then remembering why I never wore them after attempting to wear them to work (we didn’t even make it out of the house before they were discarded). This book is definitely life changing magic. It helped me get past a ton of my emotions and just basic thoughts about my things and why I “needed” them or should just “keep” them whether I needed them or not, and gave me the permission I needed to discard them. If it speaks to you, enjoy it. If it does not speak to you, return it or donate it to someone it will speak to.

Whitmor Crystal Clear Over The Door Shoe Organizer
Verified Purchase
We purchased the over the door shoe rack for our cruise that we were taking, being there is not a lot of space in a cabin. It worked perfectly. The metal hooks fit standard size doors and the top of the shoe rack has reinforced metal rings so that it won’t tear. It folds up flat, so it is easy to pack and un-pack. We used most of the shoe rack for storing things other than shoes, and found that pockets were durable to hold all sorts of items. We liked it so much, it is now being used on the back side of our closet door. And for the price – you just can’t beat it!
Panda Planner – Best Daily Calendar and Gratitude Journal to Increase Productivity, Time Management & Happiness – Hardcover, Non Dated Day – 1 Year Guarantee
By N
I grew tired of unstructured – and even worse too structured – planners and was looking for a compromise. The planner provides me with a good method to pursue my goals both in and out of work. I was having a tough time sticking to goals, finding myself running in circles trying to check off boxes each day, going to bed exhausted and waking up to do it exactly the same. Of course, this planner isn’t a limitless pill, I had to stick with it. But I got back what I put in. The nightly and weekly reviews paid dividends pretty quickly. I saw trends in my behavior and began changing for the better. My second favorite feature is a tie between the planner’s sweet pocket (I use that all the time) and the mandatory 3-5 daily priorities. Crossing off at least three major tasks each day has helped me a lot. Lastly, I toss this thing in my bag, throw it in the car, it bounces around gets a bit scuffed but is still together. The manufacturing quality of this planner is pretty damn impressive.
Quartet Dry Erase Board, Magnetic, 17 x 23 Inches, Black Frame
Style: Assorted Colors Dry Erase Board|Vine Customer Review of Free Product
The wood finish frame looks much nicer than I anticipated. It seems to consist of some kind of laminate over wood, a guess I base on what I can see where there’s a small tear in the “wood finish” on the bottom of the frame of the board I received. It looks like it could be peeled off.
The board itself seems like any other dry-erase board I’ve used (and is magnetized, like a smaller dry-erase board I have on my fridge). The included pen has a pretty narrow point and makes a line about the thickness of a standard size Sharpie, and the pen cap holds a fat dry-marker eraser and is magnetized on one end, to hold the pen to the board. Two plastic discs with magnets on the back are included, as is hardware for mounting the board to a wall.
I mounted the board I received to a solid wood door, and used small screws that I had. The mounting instructions are for mounting the board to a wall, and for that you’ll need a Philips head screwdriver and possibly a drill. The included hardware consists of two long screws and two anchors – the anchors will be necessary with some walls and not with others – and a pair of brackets that support the back of the frame. You’ll also need a level or at least a tape measure so you can mount the hardware levelly and accurately. On my old postal scale the board weighs about 2 1/2 lbs.
Umbra Magnetter Magnetic Key/Mail Organizer, Espresso
By Jessica Cole
Color: Espresso|Verified Purchase
The hubby has been wanting a magnetic key rack for awhile, and this was the closest thing I could find. I was a bit nervous it would be cheap looking, but it looks great in person. I added on a vinyl Pulp Fiction decal per his request, and he loves it. Keys stick well, even with lanyards, giant key fobs, etc. He uses the mail holder for his sunglasses, and they fit perfectly.
Command Utility Hooks Value Pack, Medium, White, 6-Hooks
By A.S.
Size Name: 6 Hooks|Verified Purchase
I love these hooks! I set them up throughout my dorm apartment, and they have never once failed me. I can hang a bath towel (pretty heavy, I would say!) and hand towel onto one hook, and they will remain on it perfectly. I also use them to hang purses and totes, winter coats, belts, and a dry erase board. They have -never- “sunk” or loosened – all the hooks remain firmly in the position I set them up in (which, by the way, was a breeze!). I highly recommend these hooks and can’t see why others didn’t like them – maybe they messed up on adhering them to the wall? Or maybe they just tried to hang too much – every product does have its limit, after all. But, with proper use, these hooks sure have been a valuable addition to my apartment!
Bedside Storage Organizer,Sofa Storage Organizer,Table cabinet Storage Organizer,1 Free Lucky Key Bookmark For Your Lucky 2016,Brown
By nancy tedrowe
Verified Purchase
Bought one of these to replace an old one that was so worn out and dirty (beige). We had it for a long time and Hubby used it on his side of the bed to hold the remotes for TV and VCR. The old one was flimsy and kept sliding out of the bedside. This one is good sturdy material, well made and the brown will not look dirty. The section that fits under the bed is stiff (covered in same material) so it does NOT slide out easily like the old one did – even with the weight of the remote controllers. LOVED it so much that we bought a second one for my side of the bed. I can now keep a pair of sox and my night mask close by, so I do not have to open a drawer in the nightstand (and wake hubby). Looks attractive enough to keep in site – very happy.

Blue Feather Clipwell, Color Turquoise
By Emily
Color: Tourquoise|Verified Purchase
This is by far my favorite office product I have bought for my desk. It is still professional looking but has a nice color to give me some personalization. The magnet is very strong and I can fit a ton of paperclips to it without worrying about them falling off. Would buy again if the need arises.
Attmu Mesh Shower Tote Caddy, Quick Dry Shower Tote Bag, Bath Organizer for Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap and Other Bathroom Accessories, Black
By DiBeas
Color: Black
I absolutely love this bath organizer. It is well made and the quality is good. This product has nice size pockets going all around it. The pockets are very roomy. I was expecting it to be somewhat hard to get some bottles into the pockets but they weren’t at all. I never had any trouble and I stuffed mine with many products. I had all kinds of different sized products too. I love that this product can get wet and it’s no big deal. It dries quickly because it is mesh fabric. You can take it into the shower or bathroom and not have to worry about it getting wet. This is perfect for all your toiletries. I put my body wash, shampoo, conditioner, razor, shaving cream, pouf ball, face wash, deodorant, lotion, sunscreen, toothpaste, toothbrush, and more into it. There is room for EVERYTHING! This little shower caddy is great for camping, going to the beach, lake, swimming pool, and for traveling. I have the pink one but I also plan to buy one in blue. My mom saw mine and she really liked it too so I want to buy her one for Christmas. I wish I could upload some pictures but I cannot seem to find anywhere to do that. Just so you know, the product has to be on a hard surface when you put it down or it might tumble over because of all the different sized products and weight. Still this great product is easy to take anywhere where you want to bring some toiletries. I highly recommend this product. I was fortunate to receive this product for testing and quality purposes. This is my honest opinion.
