Promising review: "Great purchase and cute. Working from home I needed something to organize my work essentials so I didn’t feel like my table was just a mess of stuff. This is better than I expected. It’s cute, it makes access to what I need easier and I’m able to have things organized. Even after I’m able to go back to the office I can see uses for this for many things!" —Jennifer

Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn

It comes with four hooks for hanging, and it's from a San Diego-based small business specializing in macramé goods!

Promising review: "This (larger size) hammock holds so much! Large onions, 6 lbs of potatoes, etc.; its footprint in our kitchen is small and the amount this hammock holds is large. This hammock replaced a two-tiered stackable plastic bin, which took up so much space on our small countertop." —VA

Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).

Some reviewers drilled holes in it or used Command strips to mount it to the wall!

Promising review: "I have an ridiculous amount of tea (looseleaf and bagged). This product worked marvelously! It lives up to its promise of holding over 150 tea bags (if you utilize the bottom drawers as well)! It looks very nice on my counter. I've even been able to stack my little tins of loose-leaf tea on top and beside it to create a nice little tea corner." —The Browns

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This sparks joy! I discussed this book years ago with a friend of mine when she purchased it as a new release. She told me how it would change everything, but at the time, I didn't really think I needed it. I've always had a bit of a minimalist attitude — I'd make trips to donate unused items and gifts and spend for need (not wants) mostly, and I am fairly organized. After watching the author on her most recent Netflix show, however, my interest was piqued. I read this book in one sitting and found her stories of how she became a consultant delightful. Inspired, I immediately went to work, implementing her suggestions, and honestly can't believe the difference. Tidying up has allowed me to reorganize my house into a space that I now actually like. Furthermore, it's reorganized my way of thinking. I would recommend this read to anyone. So many takeaways!" —SummerGal

Get it from Amazon for $4.23+, Target for $8.32, or Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $15.80.

It also works great for organizing pretty much any other small household items, or even as a soap dish since you can take off the bottom part to let the water drain! Plus, it is dishwasher safe and attaches via Command strips, so it won't damage walls.

Promising review: "THIS is such a great invention! SO happy I found this! I was looking to purchase a flip down cabinet add-on to make the faux front of the sink cabinet a usable tray for a sponge. This is actually not only immensely easier, but also better, since you can empty the water with the pullout bottom tray. Beyond easy to install and made me a very happy customer!" —Sta So

Promising review: "I needed this on my desk to keep my phone charger cord in place. My previous solution was to place a paper clip on the cord and position that between the two desk pieces. This works great for keeping my cord in place. A coworker was in town visiting my office and saw this, and said it was exactly what she needs too. I plan to use the others at home to help clean up the mess of cords behind the wall where my TV hangs. The open part (where the cord goes in) is bigger than I anticipated, so it can hold more than one cord. However, the lightning end of an iPhone cord stays in it, and the top part where you put the cords in is soft yet springy, so it's easy to get cords in and out. It's also probably smaller in diameter than a quarter, so I have it on top of my desk just out of the way of my mouse pad, and it never gets in the way." —B-Dawg's Dad

It even comes with a dry-erase marker.

Promising review: "I just received it and it's as described. It's beautiful, well made, good quality, and the perfect size. Not too big to take up too much wall space, but big enough to hold my mail and keys and to write notes on the board. It took me about five minutes to hang it on my wall and was very easy to install. I am completely satisfied and I highly recommend this." —A.D.

Get it from Amazon for $20.49.

It's got 4 cups (two tall, one medium, and one small), a phone stand, and a sticky note tray.

Promising review: "I bought this for my son’s desk now that he is going to be doing online school all year. We both really like how he can put the cubbies in the arrangement that works best for him. The product looks and feels well made. His favorite part is the cellphone holder. His desk is much tidier, and that’s my favorite part!" —Bryan Topscher

This bestselling wonder is by Free Period Press, a queer- and woman-owned business that makes adorable stickers and paper goods! It's also made from recycled paper to help you achieve your resolution of living a lil' more sustainably. There's even an activity at the beginning to help you brainstorm habits to track, and each month starts with a themed page (for example, "sleep," "gratitude," and "finances") with some words of wisdom and a suggested habit to try.

Promising review: "I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly it's the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." —Flight of Stars

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

This set includes four organizers: one with six long pockets, one with eight square pockets, one with seven pockets big enough for bras, and one with 24 small sock pockets.

Promising review: "This is a great organizer! No matter what else is going on in my life, at least my underwear drawer gives me the (false) sense that I have it all figured out. This organizer was just what I was looking for. The material is malleable, which makes it much easier to get in and out of my drawer, and it's also very easy to clean. I've been using it for five months now and haven't had an issue with wear and tear at all." —NAD

Promising review: "I ordered these to help me get organized with school and help me put together my file that included a complaint to the California State Bar, which included very important documents to prove my case. I was able to separate the complaint on top from a handful of text messages, emails, faxes, and other evidence. I like how there are five different colors that are bright and stand out so you can write on them and coordinate all of the tabs together, like an organized book with tabs. There is plenty of room to write everything you need to on them and the adhesive backing lasts a long time. Then the price is so reasonable, I purchased four more packs that I will be using for school later down the road. I also like file tabs on the side so you can write a file name or category." —Cheercoach0099

It comes with four clips for bracelets and necklaces.

Promising review: "Brilliant! I have been wanting to get an earring organizer for a long time. After doing a lot of searching and reading reviews, I decided to take the plunge with this one. I have no regrets! I have it hung on the back of my closet door with a Command hook. I like the fact that it can be easily transported. It’s even larger than I expected, which is great. The material seems very durable, no signs of any tear after a good month. You can arrange how you like, and there’s room for a ton of earrings. I also use it with lever-back earrings. Takes a little wiggling and practice, but totally doable. Lever-backs with a thicker back can be arranged along the bottom. I must say, brilliant, simple idea executed wonderfully. A great product!" —Lisa Mihaly

Get it from Hollyburden on Etsy for $28.

Each folder can hold up to 25 sheets and the whole thing can be collapsed and secured with the attached cord for easy transport. It even comes with blank stickers for labeling the tabs. Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this organizer.

Promising review: "I've used one of these for several years, and when it got damaged, I ran right out to replace it. It's bright and easy to use. We use it as a way to communicate with our staff. Each person has their folder, and I have a place to put items I need to know they received. I have three of these for three different purposes. What I love best about this product is that when I'm in a hurry and on my way to a meeting, this file system has my back. I hang one by the door of my office so I can grab the file I need. It's colorful and has helped me color-code my projects as well. Now I've begun to think of my needs in terms of colors and I can find them quickly and easily. The calendar pocket in the front is also helpful. I have another one of these for family hung by the back door of the mudroom at home." —Shelly Sidhu

Get it from Amazon for $8.72+ (available in four colors).

Plus, it's got magnets on the back so you can easily hang it on your fridge. My mom uses these and loves them!

Promising review: "This simple tool is just what I need to get dinner organized for each week. Deciding what to cook one night at a time can be stressful for me, and the added time of running to the store for the day's missing ingredients can really add up. Sometimes we'd just give up and go out for dinner. This product has saved me time and money." —minmom24

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this wonder: "I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, which seems expensive for a shower curtain liner but is totally worth the price. Its mesh pockets are incredibly sturdy and even *I* can fit all my shower stuff in there. (FYI, I often keep three or four bodywashes and conditioners each in the shower at all times.) There’s lots of reinforcement where each pocket meets the liner and at the top of the liner, so dropping a weighty bottle of shampoo in a pocket is NBD. Obviously, you want to try for even weight distribution between the pockets and toiletries, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. And these smooth-gliding hooks I also bought for my new digs make opening and closing my shower curtain as smooth as buttah." Check out her full review here, #7.

Promising review: "I love it! It solved all my problems. I don’t have to lift the heavy bottles every time I do a load of laundry. Since I am not moving the bottle there are fewer spills and splashes. When there is a splash, it is usually contained to the attached dispenser tray. Easy to clean; I can stick them in the dishwasher if splashes build up. It fits in my cabinet." —Gamer

It also comes with a travel pump, so you can use the bags for packing and reseal them when it's time to head home! Not sure which size to get? For context, the medium size claims to fit 8–10 sweaters and the jumbo size can hold up to four pillows.

Promising review: "I’ve been having a hard time finding space to put away my winter clothes to make room for summer and decided to try this space saver. I’ve never tried vacuum storage before, and am very pleased and now I can’t imagine another way to put away off-season clothes. I used my own vacuum cleaner as I didn’t think the pump that it comes with would be as effective, and it was super easy and quick. The hardest part was folding the clothes LOL." —Giselle

Get a pack of five medium-size bags from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four sizes).

It's got monthly, weekly, and daily sections that each have plenty of space to write down goals and plans at the beginning and wins and ways to improve at the end. There are also spaces for extra notes, places to write daily affirmations, what you're looking forward to, and what exercise you're planning to get each day.

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of planners. I love to stay organized but I have a hard time remaining positive in my environment. I found this and ordered it RIGHT AWAY! Taking time to write about what you're grateful/excited for changes your whole life. This is my word to anyone considering this book. If you are depressed (like I was), apathetic (like I was), and just not living to your potential, BUY THIS BOOK! The first day I used it, I made more sales that day than in the whole prior month. I was SUPER motivated. I kept looking at it to not only take care of my tasks but to continuously see that positivity. I could go ON AND ON about this planner. This is the best thing you can do for your mental and physical health that is drug free and works immediately!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This puzzle storage rack is excellent. I just got it today, but I am already loving the additional organization it provides, and there are no sharp edges or metal pieces. There's space to hold peg puzzles and the big knob puzzles." —monniewolf

This organizer has five clamps for holding longer items (mops, brooms, or rakes and other gardening tools) plus six collapsible hooks.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I cleaned my laundry room last week and wanted to organize all my brooms, mops, and even my mini vacuum. This handled the job and then some! It can be installed in minutes and is very strong. I feel comfortable with it holding an item that's moderately heavy compared to the rest. I love the extra hooks as well." —Judyque

Promising review: "I travel a lot and like to use totes rather than a handbag. The challenge is keeping that open space organized — everything falls to the bottom of the tote! This organizer is perfect. A firm felt fabric holds my phone, papers, cosmetics, pen, notebook, etc. without any issues retrieving any of them. It also has a clip-on strap that attaches to my keys, and it's long enough to reach from inside my tote to unlock the door! So clever and very handy. The center section of the organizer is a removable zippered pouch that could be used as a smaller organizer in another bag or can be removed if I have a larger item to carry in the center of the bag. The organizer also works great for moving from tote to tote. It's the right size and height. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $11.43+ (available in six sizes and 23 colors and prints).

There are tiny icons etched next to each of the slots so you can remember which is for spoons, forks, and knives.

Promising review: "Love! Love! Love! I can't believe I've gone my whole life without knowing about these storage bins for silverware! I hate normal silverware holders. It's either too big or too small, your silverware is too big or too small, and it slides all around the drawer. Stackable storage for silverware is genius! It fits perfectly in the drawer and it doesn't slide around. I can put the big spoons with the little spoons and the big forks with the little forks, and they take up less than half the space of the kitchen drawer. I'll be buying some more!" —Miss Angela

Promising review: "I'm officially sold on packing cubes! These things are amazing! I can't believe I've been packing without them my whole life. These are great quality and come in fun colors. I appreciate the mesh lining that allows you to peek inside. They're also a great value. I packed my clothes, shoes, and toiletry bag for a 10-day trip to Europe as I normally would first, and then packed them in the packing cubes. There was so much more room after packing in the cubes! The items I fit in the cubes and bag were: two jackets, a jean vest, four pairs of pants, two pairs of shorts, a romper, four dresses, a maxi skirt, seven tank tops, four shirts, three camisoles, three pajama sets, 15 pairs of undies, six pairs of socks, and four pairs of shoes. Why are you still reading?? Go buy these cubes!" —Tiffany

There are hanger hooks on both ends, so you can attach either one (like in the pics above for maximum space saving) or both (to hang easily wrinkled clothes a little farther apart) sides to your closet rod. Each one has five slots for more hangers, so one set can store up to 50 pieces.

Promising review: "TEARS OF JOY. Okay, I know that's dramatic, but I cannot say enough about how these hangers have transformed my tiny, odd-shaped closet. I was so desperate for more space, I was considering spending big bucks to have a professional come in and redesign the space. Then I found these and it's like my hanging space quadrupled! It feels downright luxurious in my closet now. I can see all my clothes and nothing is squished together like it used to be. I can also comfortably add a substantial amount of clothing and would still have room to grow. BUY THESE IMMEDIATELY!" —milanina77

The levels can also be removed if you want to leave more room above one shelf for tall boots.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sam Wieder swears by this baby, writing: "I actually don't remember how I managed to find shoes in my closet before getting this shoe rack (I say as if didn't literally just set this up three weeks ago, but oh well.) I kept my shoes neatly lined up at the bottom of my closet, but time and time again, would find myself going on a treasure hunt to find a pair I was looking for, because they somehow got buried underneath a sea of other random belongings I would throw into my closet for easy storage. This looks really neat after you set it up and place shoes on it, and I highly recommend it. I will say, this is much easier to set up if two people can do it together, but, it's not impossible to set up alone. It may take a bit more time, but it can be done with a bit of patience!"

It has a hole and comes with hardware to allow you to screw it into one place to keep it secure if you want!

Promising review: "This organizer works beautifully! No more cluttered cabinets! When I need a skillet, I pull one out in a matter of seconds versus digging through hazardously piled pans that my family carelessly threw back in after they were clean. I did not have any issues with any of my pans fitting in the slot, and even my extra-large pan (used for sautéing large quantities of veggies) fit into the slot, but does stick out ever so slightly. The ONLY pan that does not fit into an actual slot is my deep-pan skillet, the one I use for making stews. I was entirely expecting that and instead use the very top rack for it to sit on top of. So counting the top space, this rack fits UP to five skillets. You do have to put the racks together upon unboxing, but its simply putting the two pieces together and putting in two screws to tighten the two rack pieces. The product (once assembled) is VERY sturdy. There is the option to actually screw it down in your cabinets, but I have not found the need to use it. —Ally

Promising review: "After extensive research, I decided on this can organizer. I really needed one because with two dogs and a cat, I have so many cans that I've been using the space under a tall, narrow table in my kitchen in addition to floor space and counter space for them. As soon as it was delivered this morning I put it together. It was very simple and only took a few minutes. The instructions are very easy to figure out. I was very pleased! No more boxes on the floor, no more valuable counter space taken up. It seems well-made." —G. Nevius
