Have you seen this before?
A gadget to make a tiny charging station. I love the tagline, “Organize your phone while charging.”
It got me thinking about the numerous ‘organizing’ gadgets out there, all promising to make our life easier. I must admit that I’m a sucker for these types of gadgets, especially The Container Store’s gadgets they break out at Christmas time. (I may or may not be counting down the days until the 2011 catalog, less a month!)
Look at this sock organizer I snagged as a free gift.
(Where does one score a sock organizer as a giveaway? Hint: I was surrounded by professional organizers at the time). Here it is in action.
You’d have to be really fed up with losing socks to go to the trouble of using this contraption.
I don’t actually ever spend money on gadgets since they tend to create clutter instead of clear it. Case in point is Unclutterer.com’s weekly Unitasker highlight. I am giggling, just thinking about some of the wacky gadgets they find. Like this one, to help you sleep anywhere, or this brush just for belly buttons. What!?
Don’t get me wrong, there are some good ones out there. This shelf, in particular, is made specifically to fit around pipes under a sink. Genius.
I got to see this cool little number in action at my grandma’s home.
The white shelf pieces can be removed or slid around to make the shelf fit into almost any space. This organizing gadget can help bring order to all of those miscellaneous products under the sink. Anything that helps to make clean up quicker and less of a hassle is a winner in my book.
Do you have a favorite organizing gadget? Or one you found to be a waste of money? Did you ever buy a gadget you’ve never used? Does anyone want a sock organizer? Any “As seen on TV” junkies? Did you know there’s an actual “As see on TV” store?!
I love the wire shelves that stack, I use them in our cupboards for plates, serving dishes, etc. They help maximise the space usage. Also l-o-v-e my label maker, does that count as a gadget?
Yes, I love these shelves! They are the best at maximizing cabinet space.
Label maker is definitely a gadget, imo! I don’t know what I’d do without mine.
You’ll find ziplock bags in almost every room in my house for one purpose or another. We keep 4 different sizes and since I rarely use them for food I reuse them and only use about 2 packs a year
My husband is a big Ziploc organizer too. Most recent use: charger cables. I’d love to hear all your uses around the home!
