If you’re like us, gift-buying is only part of the shopping we do this time of year. Since the holidays typically involve entertaining, houseguest, or travel, now is a great time to think through anything that can help us stay more organized. Plus, there are some outstanding ideas to be found! We took a gander through Amazon and spotted some awesome organizing product finds.
1. Seagrass baskets.
These
seagrass-reed baskets
have so many uses that we don’t even know where to begin. Place one in the guest bedroom or bathroom to hold extra toiletries and towels for house guests. Or use them to hold holiday books or catalogs and magazines. Or, who wouldn’t love a gift basket where the basket is actually part of the gift? This one is by thirty one (Very You Basket).
2. Hanging gift wrap organizer.
Establishing a gift wrap center keeps all your supplies together, and this hanging organizer makes it super portable, too! This one is also from thirty one (Room for Two Utility Tote)!
3. Coat rack with umbrella stand.
If you lack extra space for guests’ coats, a
coat rack
in the entry way helps welcome guests and allows them to grab their own coats when it’s time to leave.
4. Bench with cushion seat.
This
bench seat
has great storage space and extra seating. It would work great in a mudroom or entry way, but would also work great in a kids’ room, play room, craft room… anywhere you could use extra storage and seating!
5. Over door hooks.
In the closet, guest bedroom or bathroom, give your overnight visitors ample space to hang towels, coats and clothes.
Over door hooks
are an attractive temporary solution!
6. Luggage rack.
If you’ve got overnight guests coming this holiday season, placing a
luggage rack
in the spare bedroom or guestroom is a simple, welcoming touch to help them stash and access their luggage during their visit.
7. K-cup storage.
This
K-cup organizer
would be great year round but especially when you have guests. Since it serves as the base of your coffee maker, it doesn’t take up much counter space. Plus visitors can easily serve themselves without having to root through kitchen cabinets.
8. Chalkboard labels.
Labels help everyone know what goes where, and when they’re as cute as these
chalkboard labels
, the possibilities are endless! Use them as drink markers or gift tags, or to label leftovers or kitchen canisters.
9 . Hanging cosmetic bag.
For travel over the holidays or anytime of the year, the see-through compartments of this
hanging cosmetic bag
let you keep your cosmetics organized and easily accessible. The smart design means it takes up less space in your suitcase and the bathroom counter. This one is by thirty one too (the Deluxe Beauty Bag!)
10. Over-seat organizer.
If your holiday plans include a road trip, keep the essentials organized and in-reach with this organizer from thirty one.
