Door Hanger
Great for kids’ rooms. Use it to store handheld electronics, shoes, brushes, scarfs, junky toys, and whatever else you can get off the floor and dresser.
$8.00 at Walmart or 15 Pocket over the door room / closet organizer
Tie holder
Not only is this great for neatly hanging ties in the closet, use it store belts, too.
Wall mounted tie rack is about $9.00 at Walmart
Coupon Organizer
Organize coupons by category with this handy little organizer. It is small enough to fit in your purse and take to the grocery store.
$3.00-$4.00 at Currentcatalog.com
Pocket Calendar
I can’t live without this pocket calendar. I love it because: (1) It has big squares to write in and (2) the pocket is great for holding birthday invitations, tickets, or anything else you need to hold onto for an event.
$9.99 at Currentcatalog.com
Auto Wallet
Insurance and registration information won’t get lost in the glove compartment when it is stored in an auto wallet.
$4.00 at Currentcatalog.com
Business Card Holder
I use this to hold business cards for doctors, dentists, home repair companies, etc. Organize the cards in sections such as adults’ medical, kids’ medical, home repair companies (A/C, plumber, etc.), and miscellaneous stuff (haircut places, spas, and consignment shops). It makes scheduling appointments quick and easy.
Around $10 at local office supply store, too.
Small Wicker Baskets
Use small baskets to hold bills or items such as scissors and tape for quick easy access. If you like to keep items handy on the counter, they look nicer stored in a little basket.
$10 at Pier 1 Imports
Melinda,
Thanks for sharing the list.
I love the wicker baskets, They go perfectly with the woodern floors in my daughter’s room. I need to get them in larger sizes though.
Have you always been this organized?

I love those baskets. I know they have a bigger one (more than twice the size) for $20. I’m a Pier 1 addict..I have to ban myself from that store.
I think I always was obsessed with organizing..even as a kid.

I’m with Moondancer on the wicker baskets – they look great with wood floors.
That “tie hanger” thing can’t be underestimated: that really helped me organize a closet that was an absolute mess.

Thanks Ashok!
I really need to get my room (and life) organized. It’s a mess! I think I shall start with that small wicker basket.

I love baskets for organizing. Looks like everyone else does, too.
Yea, I just noticed that. I think it is because people will buy them just to toss all that stuff that is laying around in. Just to get them out the way lol.

Hey Melinda,
I like the baskets but I also like the Auto Wallet. My handbag is a disaster and that one might help (a little).
I use the door hanger too. Thanks for the tips! I’ll see if I can find Ashok’s Stumble.

I like knowing the car paperwork is all together since all kinds of junk gets tossed in there by the kids.
I like your site and organizational tips, you seem to have wide talents, from humor to organization to web skills. Cool.

I absolutely love wicker baskets. They’re a great way to organize while serving the purpose of decor as well! And you can always find wicker baskets for reasonable prices and they have them in white too which is a plus.
PS: I saw your to-do list. I gotta drink more water, too!
Nice list
I like auto wallet.
i think it can help me with my problems with organization

I laughed when I saw the tie hanger – a new place to hang them so they gather dust!
Better than lying in a heap on the top shelf of the closet though. Baskets; maybe there’s a guy resistance to those but they just seem -to darn convenient. My wife’s office is full of those (and each is full of things that have not been looked at for months…) and I have stuff in piles all over my office.
Hmm. I gotta head to Ikea. Thanks!
Hi Melinda,
These are great deals! Thank you so much for sharing this list. I like the tie holder and the wicker basket as they are my top picks. I need to get them as soon as possible.
