This hanging jewelry organizer features a double-sided design with 80 soft, clear vinyl pockets to help you organize and protect your jewelry.

Speaking of jewelry, one of the things I lose most throughout the day is earring backing.

I’m pretty sure I have a bunch of hairpins scattered around my house, from the farthest corners of my bathroom drawers to under my bed.

This clever magnetic hair clip solves those problems and saves you from having to buy new pins and clips over and over again.
This car seat gap filler completely covers the front, around and behind your car’s seat belt buckles. It attaches to the seat belt buckle with a built-in slot and moves with the seat, so you don’t have to worry about frequent adjustments or reinstallation. No more losing your phone, coins, chips, etc. because of the gap between your car seat and the center console.
This handy car seat organizer attaches to the front or back of your seat, giving you easy access to essentials while driving or traveling. It features 10 pockets and compartments to help you organize valuables and clutter—think of it as a portable filing cabinet.
This magnetic small parts tray is one of those things you probably didn’t know you needed until you got it—at least that’s the case for me. These magnetic trays were originally designed to hold sewing needles, but I like to use them to store bobby pins, keys, and other small metal items that somehow always seem to get lost (especially when I’m in a hurry and really need to find them).
I have lost more lip balm in my life than I can even imagine. Most of the time, I never finish the entire lip balm package because I always lose it and have to buy a new one.

This shoelace clip has saved my life many times over the course of four years of college. I use it to store my student ID, driver’s license, bus pass, credit cards, keys, etc., and it has truly stood the test of time and survived countless abuses. The best part? It’s only $5.
This plastic storage cabinet is perfect for storing and organizing office supplies, cables and chargers, equipment, toys, gear, and more—the possibilities are endless. The cabinets can be securely stacked and secured to the wall using keyholes on the back of the cabinets.

It’s super easy to set up and comes with plenty of pockets so you can keep your things handy and clutter-free.
