I have been a Professional Organizer for over 25 years. Through that time I have found myself going back time and time again to certain products. The products on this list have stood the test of time. They work in the majority of cases, last, and are affordable.
Here are my top 10 favorite organizing products. (More product recommendations can be found on my Product Recommendation page – Organized by room so you can easily find something to fit your needs.
#1 Tea Bag Organizer – Amazon
Fits easily in a standard cabinet, takes up very little space and holds 120 tea bags.
#2 Cabinet Bins – Amazon
They come in a size that is a perfect fit in standard cabinets, using all the space efficiently. They are durable and come in a variety of widths and heights. You can also get them in longer lengths for use in deeper pantries or the refrigerator.
#3 File holder – Amazon
Fits easily and compactly on your Control Center area or Desk. Holds your Daily Life Organizing Files (those you deal with on a Daily/Weekly basis and need to take care of immediately.). I like it because it is compact and only holds enough paper to be helpful, but not too much that the paper builds up and can’t easily be dealt with and it is enclosed so nothing spills out and it looks neat.
#4 Digital Label Maker Amazon
Compact, great price point, user friendly, and charges with a standard phone charging cord, this Digital Label Maker allows you to customize your labels on your phone and easily print anywhere on the compact printer.
#5 Uline Bins for Deep Pantry or Linen Closet Amazon
These come in multiple colors and sizes and have dividers making them excellent for use in pantries and linen closets, because you can contain many different categories of items. The fact that they come in 24 inch length – makes them an ideal way to make use of all the space in those deep pantries and linen closets. Their sturdiness and front handle allows you to easily pull them out and reach items stored in the back of the bin.
#6 Drawer Dividers Amazon
These drawer dividers are durable, versatile, and look nice. They are available in a variety of sizes and allow you to easily divide your drawers into compartments that fit your needs.
#7 Hefty Bins Target
The raised lid on these bins ensures that you don’t have to wrestle to get the lid on. That feature along with the quality, durability, and variety of available sizes; makes these bins the perfect choice.
#8 Shoe Box Size Bins (12 pack of 6 qt bins) Amazon
These are the perfect size to contain many different categories of items. They are also an inexpensive way to begin to get a handle on your organization.
#9 Shoe Stacker (10 pack) Amazon
These decrease the amount of space that a pair of shoes takes by 50%, while protecting them from deformation and allowing for easy access.
#10 Under the Sink Organizer Container Store
This under the sink organizer is very adaptable. You can change the height of the shelves, as well as the location of the shelves, so that you can work around most any arrangement of pipes. (Most others only work well around pipes that are primarily in the center under the sink and don’t always work around garbage disposal units).
