1. You can't go wrong with gift cards to a favorite restaurant!
2. Getting rid of all of my plastic food storage and replacing it with a big set of Pyrex was one of my best kitchen organizing moves! We have 2! 3. A waterproof firesafe gives you peace of mind that your important documents and treasures are safe. 4. I love a self-contained game whose box isn't going to need to be taped after a few uses. Sushi Go! is lots of fun and can be played by 2-5 people. There's even a Party version for larger groups 5. When room was tight in our one bedroom apartment, these wine glass racks gave us back a ton of cabinet space 6. If I don't write things down, they don't get done. These 10 item To Do List Notepads break lists down into managable amounts! 7. Another self-contained game, Bananagrams is a Scrabble alternative that's fast paced and fun, as well as much more compact to store. 8. Another huge improvement in my kitchen cabinets was when I invested in a few large Tervis tumblers with lids, and rid myself of all the other plastic cups we'd accumulated. 9. This simple Grocery List with a full magnetic back and a pen holder keeps your list handy at all times. 10. I've loved Flip Tite containers as an alternative to OXO. 11. You can't lose with fresh flowers! Choose paper wrapped bouquets and skip the vase from the florist so you don't add more clutter. In Corpus Christi, Rose Soiree (https://rosesoireecctx.com) is my go to. 12. If messes of wires and cords add anxiety to your office and living spaces like they do us, these next two items are quick fixes: wire sheaths 13. Heavy-Duty Storage Straps 14. Whether you're careful about projectile risks in the car, or just need an on-the-go water botle, the O2COOL bottle is a winner and even cools you down with mist! 15. I can't close out a guide without preaching about planner life. Simplified planners are my favorite so check them out if you're a pen and paper person like me. |
1. Art supplies for kids are about as good as it gets when it comes to clutter since they are consumable. Crayola Chalk
2. Front-facing bookshelves mean even toddlers can put books away, starting good habits early--plus, it's easy to see the covers and recognize their favorites. 3. If you're gifting a toy with a ton of pieces this year like a Lego set, board game, or puzzle, toss in a set of these storage bags to make sure the pieces stay together. 4. There are TONS of subscription boxes out there with activities for kids. Little Passports has boxes for a range of ages and the activities all store away in a nifty toy suitcase. 5. If you're drowning in stuffed animals, this storage bean bag chair puts them to good use...as a seat! 6. It's never too early to refresh the summer wardrobe and gift a new swimsuit in next summer's size. 7. This set of four puzzles stores away within a wooden box. They even have symbols on the back of each piece to separate them into the compartments! 8. Having a small backpack is a necessity for freeing yourself from the diaper bag and enormous purse and allowing your child to carry their supplies for outings. 9. Consumables, consumables, consumables! Stickers are a favorite in our house. 10. Play-Doh 11. Crayons 12. Just like bookshelves, if kids can see the toys in a toy organizer they can (eventually) help maintain the systems! 13. Open ended toys like Tegu Magnetic Wooden Blocks are played with for many years. 14. Go through the staring into the closet stress only once a week and prepare each day's outfit with this Weekly Clothing Rack. |
