Present Your Organization With These Tools
If you know someone preparing to travel, looking to tidy up their house, or tidy up messy cables, we’ve got you covered. These gifts can help the most erratic people in your life achieve organizational nirvana.
Packing cubes for an organized suitcase
When you’re going on a trip, a well-organized suitcase will give you more room for the things you need and will save you frustration. Packing cubes ( $ 21 per package of 3 pieces ) transform the organization into a suitcase a piece of cake , keeping everything separate and tightly packed in its own mini-office. One cube can be for socks, another for underwear, a larger cube for trousers, and so on. They can also simplify the packaging of electronics.
Of course, you can still pack efficiently without them, but when it’s time to pack for the trip home, packing strategies are more likely to fail. Plus, if your bag is searched by the TSA, they won’t ruin all of your hard work.
Bedside trolley for gadgets and more
Nobody wants a nightstand full of gadgets and books. The bedside table can keep everything you need close at hand, while keeping your bedside table clean for a glass of water or an alarm clock. There are many options, but we recommend the IKEA Flort ($ 5) or Richards Homewares Gearbox ($ 8, pictured).
Wall organizer for broom and mop
Even if you remove the brooms and mops, you can still keep them tidy and tidy. The Evriholder Magic Holder ($ 13) wall organizer with 5-position holder gives you slots for five different tools, and the rotating ball knobs are easily adjustable to almost any thickness. The grips are released when the handle is quickly lifted and are easily concealed in white.
IKEA GRUNDTAL Magnetic spice rack
Do you know a chef who never has enough space in a kitchen cabinet? This magnetic stand for spice SPONTAN from the IKEA ($ 13) and the corresponding set of magnetic cans GRUNDTAL (8 US dollars for 3 pieces ) are cheap, but attractive kitchen modification. In addition, all the spices will always be at hand, no matter what they cook.
Grid-It Organizer
We’ve long been a fan of Cocoon’s Grid-It . Grid-It organizers have a durable woven mesh of elastic bands that keeps all your belongings in place wherever you store them. The Grid-It’s design makes packing your go bag very easy and you can find customizable grids in all sizes and colors to suit your needs , including with integrated sleeves for your tablet or laptop.
With Grid-It, you can keep all your gadget cables tangle-free, organize all your art tools in one place, and even keep your laptop or tablet safe in your travel bag. Most basic nets start at $ 12 to $ 20 but can vary depending on what size and style you want.
Hanging Toiletry Bag
Traveling with toiletries can be ruined if you’re not careful. This Lewis N Clark Hanging Toiletry Bag ($ 9) is made from lightweight nylon and has plenty of compartments to keep your toiletries tidy and secure. It can be hung on a hook or towel rack, and its fold-out design allows quick and easy access to every compartment without having to dig into anything.
IKEA SIGNUM Under Table Cable Organizer
The IKEA SIGNUM Under Table Cabling Basket ($ 10) has been a popular desktop add-on to Lifehacker for years, and for good reason. This is a simple and cheap bolt-on attachment for the bottom of your desk that neatly folds all your cables. It’s not so small and tight that you can’t get in there to replace or re-route the cable if necessary, and it’s not so loose that it looks messy. It’s cheap, easy to install, and makes a great gift for that special person who has loads of cables around their desk.
Miniature surge protector
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone who’s always on the go with their arsenal of power-hungry gadgets, this Belkin Mini Travel Surge Protector ($ 14) won’t disappoint. It has three standard sockets and two USB outputs. You can charge your laptop, tablet, phone, digital camera and portable gaming device at the same time – or you can be the hero of everyone else at the airport . Its small design fits easily into carry-on luggage and is built to withstand shock, rust, and anything else that could potentially damage the chains inside. And if that’s not enough, everything rotates 360 degrees, so you can always find your way out, no matter how awkward the location.
IKEA SKUBB Dividers for chest of drawers
Because the dresser drawers are hidden from view, they can turn into a hurricane of messy clothes and other debris. IKEA’s SKUBB dresser drawer dividers ($ 8) allow each drawer to be nested so that each type of garment has its own space. Your drawer will no longer have a mess of socks and underwear that you constantly have to dig into.
Velcro cable ties
Cord clutter is one of the first things we want to see here at Lifehacker. These Velcro straps ($ 5 for $ 100) make it easy to manage cables anywhere in your home and will be a great filler for the gadgets in your life.
