Promising review: "Bought these storage bags to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan

Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action.

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.

Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingen

This game-changer includes a toothpaste dispenser, four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.

Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." —Sariyah J

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Very useful especially when traveling with kids. Provided easy access and storage to things like water bottle, hand sanitizer, snacks, wipes, headphones. I didn't have to access my carry-on." —JJ

StoveShelf is a small business, and these shelves are built to last a lifetime.

Promising review: "I LOVE it! It fits perfectly on top of my stove. Is super magnetic so it's not going to move. And it has padding underneath so not to scratch your stove top. It fits perfectly and holds quite a bit of stuff! Perfect for spices, a timer, etc. And it doesn't get overly hot that it would melt anything. They thought of everything!!!" —Stacey Noble

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six types and three sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the Command spray bottle hangers in action.

Promising review: "Love these! They have helped organize all my products underneath my kitchen sink. The Command hooks are strong and nothing has budged even with the weight of the spray bottles! Highly recommend." —Talayfor87

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.61.

Promising review: "Never drop and lose your stuff again! I purchased these over six months ago and ended up buying another because of how convenient and safe it is. The stitching and quality for the seat filler is great with no loose fibers. This was used in a 2000 Honda Accord as well as a 2016 RAV4. I really believe this will fit a majority of cars, see images for reference.

Having it between the seats has saved me on many occasions. You don't even notice it there until you drop something, say oh ****, but feel relieved that it stops right on top of the gap filler. Even my friends don't notice it until they drop something into the abyss." —Long-Term Product Reviews by Hugh&Co.

Promising review: "These little guys are so easy to use. I have them set up on my desk, by my bed, and in my car. They easily can hold two cables if need be, but I have one for each cable. They are very small and out of the way. Thank you so much!" —M. Mcnam

Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.

Promising review: "The Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone, and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around.

Promising review: "This has got to be one of my favorite finds! Living in an apartment we are very limited on space(also, everything is weird sizes). I saw this come up and was so excited to try it out. It fits all of my silverware and extra space(I have 2 of these side by side) These also allow for me to store my cup lids next to them. This is super easy to clean and use. Make this a must have for sure." —Allison Craft

Check out a TikTok of the plastic bag dispenser in action. Psst — these come with optional sticker labels so you know which size bag you're grabbing!

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.

Promising review: "I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three-, four-, or five-slot models).

Check out a TikTok of the cereal dispenser in action.

Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle

Get it from Amazon for $28.42.

Promising review: "I bought two of these wall chargers. My daughter needed one for her office. She's thrilled with the versatility of having one outlet for everything. Brilliant! My son-in-law uses his in the garage for power tools, heater and phone charging. They love em! Thanks!" —nascar fan

Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

Check out a TikTok of the LidPocket in action.

LidPocket is a small business specializing in kitchen accessories.

Promising review: "One of those Instagram items I saw from one of the influencers I follow, and it works exactly how it was shown! So simple but a great addition to any slow cooker — this should be a staple part for all slow cooker. Hopefully this will be included in future products. Would highly recommend." —Annette Voss

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Tidywrap is a small business established in 2022 that specializes in adhesive cord organizers. Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable, but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal.

Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action.

Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It's not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying 'this is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." —Elizabeth L.

Promising review: "I love the Shower Gem. I have four in my shower and the work great! Everything has a place and when it needs cleaning I just put them in the dishwasher. I would recommend it to everyone!" —pam griffith

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

Promising review: "Bought it for several planned trips and glad I did. Most of the airports I stopped at did not have cup holders. In the past, I'd place my drinks on vacant chairs, my lap, balancing on my carry-on, in my purse, etc....and hope it didn't spill. This product is easy to place on my hand-carry and easy to stow away when needed. I can also leave my drinks in the travel cup holder when moving from one gate to another. Great purchase!" —Betty C

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in various and patterns).

Momo Lifestyle is a small business that specializes in family-friendly homewares.

Promising review: "We got this for the bathroom that the kids us. Anybody with little kids will know that they make a constant mess. We had water all over the counter, mainly around the soap dispenser, and it was causing problems. This has helped a great deal. There is less water on the counter and I even like to put water on it sometimes just to watch it evaporate within about 60-90 seconds. It was totally worth the money." —David P.

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small — under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end so that's easy enough to do-comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Jennifer Mowry

Get it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in two finishes).

Promising review: "Perfect! Exactly what I needed to organize my mop, broom, scoop, etc. Efficient and easy to use. A little hard to get my scoop into it but that's cause it's thicker than the rest of items. Love that there are hooks. Spray bottles and cleaning product bottles hang perfectly on there too." —Kavita Chandanie

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

I've been in my apartment for years and had all but resigned to having extremely disorganized cleaning supplies...that is 'til a whole bunch of them tumbled in an avalanche on top of me one day when I opened the closet. There's something about a broom handle smacking you square in the nose to serve as a wakeup call. I easily mounted both of these to a closet wall, where they now hold my broom and Swiffer. They do a good job *keeping* the grip on the handles when I inevitably bump into them. The cleaning tools may sway a little bit when bumped, but just a teensy bit. I cannot believe I waited so long to make the (v small) investment in these, but I'm glad that I finally did.

Get them from Amazon for $13.99.

Promising review: "Just another thing TikTok made me buy! The quality of the plastic is really great and I love that you can move the shelves as you see fit." —Reagan

Get it from Amazon for $32.99.

YouCopia is a small woman-owned business that specializes in clever storage and organization solutions.

Promising review: "The 15" freezer organizer is exactly what I wanted. I made two quick adjustments and emptied my top shelf of my freezer which was totally Not organized. It fit perfectly in the space that was left!!!! I organized my packages of food in the rack. It all fit perfectly. I love how sturdy it is, and easy to adjust. I will definitely order more goodies from YouCopia! I'm 72 and need all the help I can get. You definitely deliver what you advertise. Thanks a bunch!" —L Nellans

Get it from Amazon for $6.92 (also available in black).

Also check out a version that's completely silver without the red or green for $19.95.

Promising review: "I have always purchased handbags with lots of pockets and sections because I hate having to dig around trying to find something in the gaping hole of purses with no sections. I purchased this medium size organizer, and I couldn't be happier!! It is very well-made, and it has so many great pockets to organize everything I need. THE BEST PART is, I can easily lift it out of one purse and put it into another one, and I always know where everything can be found. I wish I had gotten one of these years ago. When I first ordered this organizer, I didn't realize it had two zipper compartments on each side, and I was tickled to discover even MORE storage!!! With all the fun colors and patterns, it was hard to select one, but I've always been partial to polka dots. I love it and can't imagine anyone not being has pleased with this as I am!" —Ronna

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes S-L and in 27 colors).

Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but with this metal basket it minimized clutter, keeps things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow-dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. The bars are adjustable, as well (just use the twisties it came with to secure them in place). Worth the buy!" —Alyssa Jewell

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven finishes).

Promising review: "Wow my bathroom drawers are ELEVATED now. They look clean as hell and I can actually find stuff. Easy to snap together and organize how you'd like. Definitely buying a second set for my kitchen drawers!" —Toni Bish

Get it from Amazon for $12.96.

Promising review: "I love these bottles. They make everything uniform and high-end looking for a fraction of the price. They hold up amazing. I bought another set for my second bathroom." —Cindy

Get it from Amazon for $27.20+ (available with or without the wall mounts).

Promising review: "I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something that seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." —Rebecca Morea

Get set of two from Amazon for $14.99.

Includes a removable battery tester that doesn't require a battery. Holds up to 93 batteries of various sizes.

Promising review: "I now own six different battery organizers but this is my favorite. Maybe they just improve them after each one I buy but it seems like for this one has thought of everything. I LOVE the amount of AA storage. Most of my other ones have way too much D and C storage when I really just need more AA and AAA. The battery tester was a bit intimidating at first but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. This is HEAVY once loaded down with batteries. Do yourself a favor and opt for a drawer for storage. Installing in a stud would be fine but I didn't have that option in my camper." —HandleyMom

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.

Promising review: "OMG! Thank you to whoever it was that came up with this solution for lid storage. It does take up some space, BUT so did an entire drawer full of lids. PLUS we no longer have to rummage through the lid drawer to try and find the lid that fits the container. We cleaned out an entire cabinet of things we were no longer using and this fits perfectly {sideways} in our cabinet....which is now the 'food storage container cabinet.' It looks sooooo nice and organized." —MAMABEAR74

Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in three sizes and multipacks).

It holds all my documents and IDs, and makes going through airports easy with everything right at hand. It's a good size and fit nicely in my crossbody travel bag.

::nervously calculates how much $$$ I've spent on handbags::

Promising review: "Earlier today I put two hanging closet handbag holders in my walk in closet. I don't have 16 purses, but I do have more than eight. I put some other things in the leftover pockets — gloves, a couple of smaller clutch-style purses, and some scarves. The pockets are roomy and seem to be sturdy. I'm doin' the happy dance because they are just what I needed. Already I'm feeling more organized." —mochamarie

Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl

Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

This holds 48 bottles and is double-sided, so you can always see all of your colors.

Promising review: "This is better than advertised. All my bottles fit perfectly in the standard size boxes. My Julep colors fit two in a compartment! The first row has adjustable dividers, you can use them to keep odd-shaped bottles or do what I do: use one side for my nail stamper, dotting tools, and the drying drops and the other for foam wedges and nail pens. It looks way neater easily tucked under my vanity instead of the baskets and baskets of polishes I had to hunt through!" —Clouds

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).

Includes enough to hold five pairs. Can store vertically (as shown) or horizontally. Requires no installation.

Promising review: "Sometimes I'd waste time digging for the matching pair I was hoping to wear. I've been wanting to buy the Boot Butler, but was hesitant because of the price. After some time and frustration (especially with boot season approaching), I bought the Boot Butler for myself in October, as an early Christmas gift. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! I loved it so much, I bought a second set a couple months later and am now contemplating buying another. I love that my boots aren't in a pile anymore; that they are easy to find and see, and I don't have to shuffle huge plastic boot boxes around, (an option I tried before and was not happy with)." —ZAR

Get enough for five pairs from Amazon for $69.99.

Promising review: "I will spare you the horrific 'before' picture of the complete nightmare that was my closet floor. Just imagine a dusty mess with shoes thrown all over each other in a sad attempt at giving some appearance of order, and you will have a good idea of why buying this shoe organizer was one of the best ideas I've had this year. The floor now looks so neat and tidy I can't believe my eyes every time I open my closet doors." —Veronica, just an average reader, you know?

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $32.95+ (also available in packs of 20 and 40).

Promising review: "I works perfect for glasses. I have about six pairs of sunglasses and two pairs of reading glasses, and they all fit perfectly. I bought it to keep the top of my dresser organized. I got the grey color and it matches my room quite nicely. It is pretty flimsy plastic, so keep that in mind. I have loved it so far." —McKenzi

Get it from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I needed something that would save me space, but where I could still see all of my jewelry. These things are extremely durable. I bought two of them, and I have probably 50 or so necklaces on one side and maybe 30 pairs of earrings on the other side. There is not a single tear in it. In the other one I keep nail polishes. It is very convenient because you can see all the colors and it does not take up that much space." —Nellie F.
