The Organization Products Getting Our Editors Excited for a January Overhaul

Our champagne flutes have been cleaned and stowed away. Our thickest coats hang within easy reach in our entryways. And the cedar-scented candles we bought back in November have sizable dents in them. Now, the only winter ritual left for us to tackle is to organize. While some of us have big dreams of office built-ins and decked-out closets, we also know that it’s the tiny products—an over-the-door shoe rack or a knife-slash-spatula container—that truly keep our spaces tidy at the end of the day. Ahead, we asked our editors to share the one little organization hero they can’t get enough of right now. 

The Kitchen Baggie Divider I Show Every Guest

I bought a super-similar (now-discontinued) drawer organizer at The Container Store last year and it immediately became the hero of my kitchen. No more wrestling with the tin foil or Saran wrap box—there are integrated slicers for each wrap section. And I simply love that there aren’t one hundred slippery snack bags floating around my drawer. —Lydia Geisel, home editor 

The Chic Cord Container

Between computer, headphone, and phone chargers, my office has turned into a pit of cords. This organizer hides and contains everything in an orderly fashion and the rattan design is so chic and blends in better than some of the more modern organizers that scream “tech.” —Brit Ashcraft, design director

The Stackable Toy Storage

My four-year-old has so many tiny toys and I’m hopeful that this pack of storage boxes will be a simple way to corral them all. I love that these snap closed, are stackable, and are clear, so that you can find what you need without having to open the boxes. —Kristen Flanagan, contributing editor

The Art Cart That Rolls Away

This three-tiered cart houses an assortment of art supplies, from paints to stamps to Washi tape, and wheels right into my coat closet. The items that I use the most are accessible on top, while I keep all of my stationery and label maker on the bottom. —Andie Diemer, photography director

The No-Assembly Shelves 

“I’ve accumulated five times more tools, lightbulbs, batteries, and handy gadgets in one year of home ownership than in 10 years of renting. Squeezing all these odds-and-ends onto my utility closet’s single shelf is like playing a particularly precarious game of Jenga. These (ironically) no-tools-needed, stackable shelves offer flexible storage, and can be moved anywhere should I decide to relocate the growing collection to my shed.” —Lindsey DeSimone, senior marketing manager

The Under-Sink Drawers

The cabinet space under my bathroom sink can get crowded with a mix of products. These drawers have helped to keep the clutter under control. Their stackable design creates space for bigger cleaning supplies and the fact that they are clear means I can see all the products inside the drawers. —Belle Morizio, staff photographer

The Kitchen Sink Caddy 

I recently did a deep dive into dish sponge storage and this is the winner: no more mildewy containers or wet countertops. This adjustable caddy tucks to the side of your sink and keeps sponges at the ready, while letting them drip dry right into the sink. It’s the little things. —Alex Redgrave, contributing editor

The Portable Label Maker

It’s not remotely pretty, but this label maker is my new organization hero. I started by clearly marking what’s inside our basement storage boxes so the ornaments don’t get mixed up with the gift wrap, then tackled the accessories cart in my daughter’s closet. So easy, so satisfying. Next up is our chaotic utensils drawer—I want unloading the dishwasher to be a mindless activity, no matter who’s doing it. —Lindsey Mather, digital director
