A note from Alejandra: Below you will find a list of my all-time favorite organizing products that I’ve compiled in the 17 years of working as a professional organizer.

Cabinet Storage (Add Shelf)
The double shelf I use inside my kitchen cabinets has been discontinued (not sure why since it was the best one), however, this double shelf seems to
Cabinet Storage (Divider)
I use these dividers to store my flat baking sheets and cutting boards vertically which means I never have to deal with annoying stacks of pans. Little
Cabinet Storage (elfa)
Under the sink storage can be tricky. I’ve installed these gliders (drawers) under my sink and they work perfectly for my needs. They do make taller drawers to
Cabinet Storage (Lids)
This is the pull-out lid organizer I showed in my "Organizing Pots And Pans" video. It keeps all your lids easily accessible (and quiet) instead of being
stacked on top of one another.
Cabinet Storage (Pull-Out)
This organizer works great at keeping all the food storage containers organized in the kitchen cabinets. It can also be used under the kitchen and
bathroom sinks too. VIDEO: How To Organize Food Storage Containers And Tupperware
Cabinet Storage (Tiered Shelf)
There are so many tiered shelves on the market. This is the only one I use because it fits large sized soup cans (you know what I mean, those large

If you have a swing door in your pantry, hang a door rack for extra storage. I love this one because the baskets are adjustable and extremely sturdy unlike

If I had to pick my favorite kitchen product, I’d pick these. I’m obsessed with these dividers. Traditionally you are supposed to use them vertically but I
Drawer Divider (Tension Rod)
I use these tension rods in a handful of drawers around the house as they make excellent drawer dividers for holding things in place such as spices, binders,
accordion organizers, containers, etc! They sell for $2.37 in-store (for the white ones) and come in various finishes (white, silver, bronze)!
Drawer Organizer (Colored)
These are the organizers I have in my junk drawer. I found them in aqua at Home Goods which may be difficult to find (they also come in hot pink and
orange!). They are made by MadeSmart and the quality is excellent!

These deep drawer organizers are excellent for deep drawers in your bathroom vanity! I currently use them to contain my feminine care products

Drawer Organizer (Shallow)
These are the drawer organizers I use for my shallow drawers in my vanity. I currently use them to contain toiletries, skincare, makeup, & hair products.
Drawer Organizer (Slotted)
I'm a total fan of these! They're "supposed" to be used for storing socks, panty hose, and/or underwear in dresser drawers. However, I use them to store
tea bags in my kitchen drawer and they work perfectly!!! On top of that, they are affordable compared to other drawer dividers!!

Dry Good Container (Round)
These are the kitchen canisters I use in my baking drawer in the pantry for storing dry goods! They're airtight, lightweight, and have a flat lid for
Dry Good Container (Square)
These are my favorite air-tight containers perfect for storing dry goods such as flour and sugar. Everything about them is phenomenal; the lid, the
Food Dispenser (Nuts)
We use these seed dispensers in our fridge for containing all kinds of seeds - pumpkin, hemp, sunflower, etc. The spout pours easily and they fit in the
slim compartment of the fridge door allowing them to last longer as opposed to storing them in the pantry!
Food Dispenser (Seeds)
This is the dispenser I use in the fridge to easily pour our chia seeds! It works well because the chia seeds are tiny (like sugar since this dispenser is
actually made for pouring sugar!). It would also work well for other small seeds like hemp seeds! While the link below goes to Amazon, I often see the same exact dispenser at Home Goods for about $3.99!
Hook (Cabinet Interiors)
I hang pot holders on the inside of my kitchen cabinets using these hooks. Because the tape is so sticky and heavy-duty, the hook won’t fall off. The
Label (Food Storage)
These are the labels I have on my food storage bins in the kitchen. They don't peel off when washed and the actual label is erasable... which means you can
use them over and over and over!
Lazy Susan Turntable (10″)
This is the best 10″ lazy susan which works well in upper kitchen cabinets that are typically 11″ in depth. I use this lazy susan in my pantry for storing
Lazy Susan Turntable (16″)
I love turning this thing! Why? It turns beautifully and never gets stuck. This 16" lazy susan fits most pantries with 16+" shelves. Another amazing product for
Lazy Susan Turntable (18″)
This is the best 18″ lazy susan which works well in lower or corner kitchen cabinets. Its spins extremely easily and never gets stuck unlike other lazy
Measures Conversion Magnet
I have this on my fridge and I still use it pretty much every time I cook or bake. Thanks to this magnet that’s been on my fridge for years, I finally now have
Spice Container (Medium)
If you're organizing spices in a drawer, these are the perfect containers! They lay at an angle in the drawer, they're air-tight, and they have a wide-mouth so
you can easily fit your measuring spoons inside!! Use cheap thin tension rods as dividers and you'll have the perfect drawer!
Spice Container (Small)
If you're organizing spices in a drawer, these are the perfect containers! They lay at an angle in the drawer, they're air-tight, and they have a wide-mouth so
you can easily fit your measuring spoons inside!! Use cheap thin tension rods as dividers and you'll have the perfect drawer!
Stackable Bin (Deep Freezer)
Deep spaces are tough to organize. The trick is using stackable bins with handles so you can easily access contents at the bottom. These are the
VIDEO: Deep Freezer Organization
Stackable Bin (Under Sink)
These are the bins I showed in my "How to Organize Under the Kitchen Sink" video. They are excellent for maximizing vertical space as they stack smoothly on
top of each other. They come in various sizes so you can customize whatever you are organizing. PLUS, they can be used for organizing all kinds of things around the home: office supplies, toys, craft supplies, hardware, etc.
Tea Bag Organizer
I absolutely hate the boxes teabags come in (so flimsy and non-stackable). This teabag organizer is awesome, it can fit almost 100 teabags (see video below)
Closet
Contact Paper for Walls
I use contact paper for everything BUT its intended purpose!! I love using this sticky paper (which by the way, really sticks!) behind shelves to add pops of

Folding Tool for Clothes
If you’ve ever wondered how retail stores get the “perfect” fold in shirts and pants, look no further. The secret is folding with the “Flip & Fold.” Not only
Hook (Door Hinge)
This is by far the coolest hook in hook history! It's a hook that hangs on the hinge of your closet door. How cool?! When placed on a lower hinge, it's the
perfect solution for school backpacks. No tools or hardware needed for installation. It just pops into the top pin of the door hinge.
Hook (Tall Doors)
If the doors in your home are reallllllly tall, you'll appreciate this really long (hard to find) over-the-door hook. It's made for doors like yours!
Jewelry Organizer (Hanging)
This jewelry bag is great for storing small jewelry such as rings, earrings or even pendants. It can also be used in the bathroom for storing pony tail
Shelf Dividers (Tall)
I use these shelf dividers to separate everything including towels, sheets, file folders, notebooks, envelopes, etc. They are excellent, extremely sturdy, and can
Shelf Liner (All Closets)
These are the only shelf liners I will use because 1) they are simply the best 2) they actually STAY flat 3) you can easily slide things on them. And yes, they are a
couple dollars more expensive than the cheaper ones BUT they are worth it IF you use your closets and pantry everyday! They come in three depths: 12", 16", and 20" and they can be cut to fit the length of your closet (they are super easy to cut!). They will work on both ventilated and solid shelves and they DO work on non-elfa brand shelves as well!
Shoe Organizer (Clear Box)
These shoe boxes are perfect not only for shoes, but anything that fits inside. I must have around 80 of these in my home since you can essentially organize
Shoe Organizer (Over Door)
I love these door pockets. I have them hanging on four doors in my own home. I use them for cords, closet accessories, cosmetics, and utility items. These are
Shoe Organizer (Shelves)
I use these stackable storage shelves in my craft closet. I keep craft supplies in plastic bins that I keep on these shelves. You can also use them to store shoes
Storage Box (Divided)
Okay, so these storage bins are super cool. They have built-in dividers that are collapsible which means you can either use them to divide the contents you're
storing within the bin or you can collapse them and have one big normal storage bin. They're definitely pricey for a storage bin but they're flexible in that they can be used for multiple purposes!
Office
Bedford Bookshelf
This is the bookshelf I have in my office! It fits binders perfectly (and books, obviously!). If you have the matching Bedford Filing Cabinet, this unit can be
stacked on top to maximize space.
VIDEO: How to Organize Office FilesBedford Desk
This is the desk I have in my office! I LOVE it! There is ample storage space in the drawers and on the surface. And I love how the back of the drawer units
are solid so you can't see the cords tangling down! It's a solid desk, although you do have to be careful with the finish as it does chip easily especially at the corners. I also love how there are two size drawers - shallow for small office supplies and deep for file folders!
VIDEO: How to Organize Your DeskBedford Filing Cabinet
This is the filing cabinet I have in my home office. I LOVE it! I keep my file folders in the bottom drawer and my tax returns (both personal and business) in
the top drawer. For the file folders, I use the Freedom Filer filing system and for my tax returns, I organize the documents by year, in indestructible poly-envelopes that have awesome zippers so nothing falls out!
VIDEO: How to Organize Office FilesBedford Mail Center
This is the mail center I have on my desk! There's a top section and two drawers. I keep papers to process (things to read, sort through, open
projects) in the top section, time-sensitive bills to pay in the top drawer, and non-time-sensitive documents that require other action (call/ask/cancel) in the bottom drawer. However, if you're visual and need visual reminders to pay bills or take action, keep these items on the top section out and open so you SEE them and remember to take action! You can then use the drawers for other things like envelopes, stamps, address labels, or other small office supplies!
VIDEO: How to Organize Your DeskBedford Pen Caddy
This is the pen caddy I have on my desk! I recommend it because it's sturdy (doesn't move when you put something back!), it has various compartments for
various items, and you can personalize the front with your favorite photos or inspirational quotes! I will say, it IS pricey for a simple pen caddy... I have seen similar organizers (heavy-duty, lots of compartments, and space to personalize) at stores like HomeGoods or Marshalls!
VIDEO: How to Organize Your DeskBinder (Legal-Sized)
My favorite binders are the better binders! However, they don't come in legal-sized 🙁 That said, these are the best-bang-for-your-buck legal-sized
binders I've come across!
Binder (Letter-Sized)
These are the binders I always use for my organizing projects. They come in bright, fun colors and have rubber seams that don't rip like most binders!
Binder (No Rings)
If you hate binders, this "binder" is for you. It's similar to a binder, minus the rings (therefore no hole punching necessary). You basically just "shove"
Binder Dividers (10-Tab)
These are my all-time favorite binder dividers! Why? They are beautifully color-coded, sturdy (which means they can be reused over and over), and they
come in a wide variety of sizes to perfectly "fit" the type of binder you're setting up. For example, I use the "10-tab" dividers in my recipe binder for sorting recipes into: Appetizers, Soups/Salads, Pasta, Side Dishes, Main Dish, Meat/Chicken, Seafood, Marinades, Desserts/Breads, and Drinks.
Binder Dividers (12-Tab)
These are my all-time favorite binder dividers! Why? They are beautifully color-coded, sturdy (which means they can be reused over and over), and they
come in a wide variety of sizes to perfectly "fit" the type of binder you're setting up.
Binder Dividers (5-Tab)
These are my all-time favorite binder dividers! Why? They are beautifully color-coded, sturdy (which means they can be reused over and over), and they
come in a wide variety of sizes to perfectly "fit" the type of binder you're setting up. For example, I use the "5-tab" dividers for smaller (1 inch) binders that have fewer categories of papers.
Binder Dividers (8-Tab)
These are my all-time favorite binder dividers! Why? They are beautifully color-coded, sturdy (which means they can be reused over and over), and they
come in a wide variety of sizes to perfectly "fit" the type of binder you're setting up.
Binder Dividers (A-Z)
These are my all-time favorite binder dividers! Why? They are beautifully color-coded, sturdy (which means they can be reused over and over), and they
come in a wide variety of sizes to perfectly "fit" the type of binder you're setting up. For example, I use the "A to Z" dividers in my business card binder for storing all of my contact's business cards by company name. For example, a business card from Alejandra.tv would be filed behind the "A" divider!
Binder Dividers (Wide)
These are my all-time favorite binder dividers! Why? They are beautifully color-coded, sturdy (which means they can be reused over and over), and they
come in a wide variety of sizes to perfectly "fit" the type of binder you're setting up. For example, I use the "Extra-Wide" dividers in all of my binders that have sheet protectors. Why? Because most, if not all, sheet protectors go beyond most standard size dividers thereby covering the dividers! In other words, most sheet protectors are too wide for standard sized dividers. So annoying! Problem solved with these "extra-wide" dividers!
VIDEO: Recipe OrganizationCord Organizer (Cable Drop)
I have these things all over my house in every nook and cranny! They are adhesive and you can stick them anywhere to prevent a cord from falling
Cord Organizer (Cord Box)
If you hate seeing messy piles of cords behind or underneath your furniture, this is what you NEED! It's a cord box that "hides" the messy cables! This is the
cord box I featured in my "How to Hide Wires & Cords" video. It comes in black and white!
Cord Organizer (Donuts)
You know those realllllly long cords that hang from the back of your computer, TV, and/or any other electronic in your house? Well, this cord wrap allows you
to "magically" shorten the cord as if it didn't really exist! It's hard to explain but it's AWESOME! I use this for my iPod charger on my desk.
Cord Organizer (Hooks)
Wires and cords that hang/dangle bother me like no other! These adhesive hooks hold cords against the wall in place. The best part about them are the
Desk Chair (Ergonomic)
This is the fun ergonomic desk chair I use at my desk in my home office! It's fun to wobble on while you work while also "strengthening your back and
Drawer Organizer (Bedford)
If you have the Bedford Desk from Pottery Barn, these drawer organizers fit like a GLOVE (minus 1' to spare in the back!). You can use these drawer
organizers to store pens, markers, small office supplies, and anything else small you need to corral and have easy access to while working! Secure them in place by puttying them down so they don't move when you open/close the drawer!
Drawer Organizer (Mesh)
There are a plethora of drawer bins on the market. My favorite ones are these mesh ones. They come in various sizes and you can store all of your favorite
File Folder (Expanded)
If you're looking to organize project papers and need more space than a basic file folder can hold, consider using a file folder with dividers! This product is
similar to your basic file folder except it offers more storage space, has dividers, and has a clasp to keep things contained!
File Folder (Hanging)
I’ve tried every hanging file folder on the market, these are the best ones. They are extremely sturdy and won’t tear or rip if the weight is too heavy.
File Folder (Interior)
These are the file folders I use in my office for containing project papers. They're basic, sturdy, well-made, and come in fun colors and patterns! They
work well for organizing small amounts of project papers!
File Organizer (Deep Drawer)
This is the file tote I use to contain all of my large sentimental portfolios. Likewise, I use them inside all of my deep drawers in my desk for corraling
File Organizer (Desktop)
This tiered mail sorter sits on a desktop while helping you see the names of your file folders so you can quickly and easily file all your mail into the
File Organizer (Filing Kit)
This is the exact filing system I use inside my own home. It's the only filing system I recommend since its easy to use and requires little ongoing
File Organizer (Rolling Cart)
This is the filing cart I use in my home office. It’s the BEST filing cart. Since I’m a visual person, I like to keep everything ‘out’ so I know what I have. I also love
File Organizer (Vital Records)
This is the tote bag I use to store my emergency document organizer. It's fire and water resistant. However, I have not tested it 🙂 In the event of an
emergency, there is space inside the bag to throw in your phone, other devices, jewelry, etc. The ideal place to keep this bag is inside a safe!
File Organizer (Wall-Mounted)
This is the magazine rack I use inside my own home office. I like it because it allows me to only store 15 magazines at any given time. I use the one-in, one-out
Gift Wrap Organizer (Bottom)
This is the bottom part to the gift wrap holder I use. When combined with the top part and mounted to the wall, wrapping paper is extremely easy to
Gift Wrap Organizer (Hanging)
This is the exact gift bag holder I use in my house. It’s meant to be hung on a closet rod, however, I hang it on an over-the-door hook. The pockets are sturdy
Gift Wrap Organizer (Top)
There are tons of gift wrap organizers. However, I have found that most of them do not work effectively nor make it easy to retrieve wrapping paper. I use
Label (Colored Dot Stickers)
Color-coding your organizing systems is super easy when you use these dot stickers. Just use a dot on the item and another of the same color where it
Label (Colored Tabs)
These tabs are great for color-coding the contents of your binders. I love the bright colors and they're easy to stick on the top of your pages or dividers.
Label (File Folders)
If you're like me and always reuse your file folders in your office, adding an erasable label to your file folders will make re-labeling your file tabs easy and
clean the next time you reuse your file folder! You can make your own reusable label by adhering a piece of clear packing tape to your file folder tabs and then printing a label from your label maker (which then makes it easy to peel off down the road) OR you can purchase these erasable labels.
Laminator
If you've always wanted a laminator but thought they were too expensive, this is the best "bang for your buck" laminator on the market! The machine itself is just
under $30 and works well (this is the one I have in my office). If you're looking for something functional that will get the job done right, and you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the laminator for you! On the other hand, if you're looking for a super duper professional series reallllllly thick lamination, this isn't the machine for you. In that case, your best bet is having your nearest office supply store do the lamination for you (or purchasing a $300 laminator).
Laminator (Pouches)
These are the laminating pouches that go with the "best priced laminator". NOTE: There are two kinds of laminating pouches that fit this laminator:
3mil and 5mil. The higher the number "mil", the thicker the lamination. In my opinion, the 5mil is worth the extra money. It is noticeably thicker! The 3mil feels a bit flimsy. Okay, a LOT flimsy. Both are functional though in terms of being laminated!
Magazine Organizer (Binders)
I looooove organizing with binders! And that includes using binders to organize my magazines! These nifty and hard-to-find organizers allow you to store
Notebook (Dark Lines)
Taking good notes in school is critical to getting good grades! And it's always easier to take better notes with a good notebook! This is my favorite notebook
because 1) it has wide margins (I'm a lefty), 2) it has dark lines (it's easier to write on dark lines), 3) it has a box to fill in today's date 4) it has a highlighted section at the bottom for calling out certain things like homework or action items and; 5) it has clean perforated edges when removing paper from the notebook. It's the only notebook I use!! Comes in pink, yellow, and black! I use pink when I can find it (it's often out-of-stock!).
Paper Organizer (Hanging)
I use this hanging organizer originally made for clothes in my home office for storing paper, notepads, and extra file folders! It's literally the PERFECT size for
paper management. On top of that, it's super sturdy which means if you store a heavy stack of paper, it's not going to sink in or collapse! 🙂 NOTE: this is a replacement item as the previous version is no longer available.
Paper Organizer (Large)
This is the art portfolio I used to organize all of my full size (8.5x11) paper sentimental items such as artwork, letters, report cards, goal sheets, etc.
Paper Organizer (Legal-Sized)
This is the accordion organizer I use to store all of my emergency paperwork that I would grab in the event of a natural disaster! It's legal-sized to fit
letter AND legal papers and it has 12-sections so you can organize by category! I keep this accordion organizer inside my fire/water resistant tote bag which is kept in my office! However, the ideal place to store these documents/bag is in a safe!
Paper Organizer (Letter-Sized)
I use file accordion's for mostly receipts, both personal and business in the home office. This is my favorite. Why? Because the tabs are color-coded in rainbow
Paper Organizer (Small)
This size art portfolio can be used to organize all of your smaller (4x6) paper sentimental items such as small greeting cards, cut-outs, notes, or
VIDEO: How to Organize Sentimental Papers
Paper Organizer (Stickers)
This is the organizer I use in the desk drawer to corral all of my large letter stickers! It's made to be a "stamp" organizer but it works well for other
craft supplies such as stickers, die-cuts, scrapbook paper, stencils, etc. It's made of hard plastic that clicks together when shut. This particular organizer comes in three sizes: thin, thick, and thicker. If this organizer is for you, check your local craft store to see if they carry it before purchasing it online. I found mine at a mom & pop shop near my house for $2/each, which is a fraction of the price online!
Poly-Envelope (All-Purpose)
I'm such a poly-envelope snob- I only use certain ones. These pass my test! They are amazing quality (not flimsy at all!) and have a nice snap in place! They
Poly-Envelope (Binders)
These poly-envelopes are the perfect solution because they hold heavy manuals and packets of information in the sturdy sleeve and keep them in with
Poly-Envelope (Long)
These have become my new favorite poly-envelopes! I have seven of these in my desk drawers and they are the perfect size for storing stamps, address
labels, checks to deposit, receipts to register, travel receipts, temporary gift receipts, etc. strong>NOTE: this is a replacement item as the previous version is no longer available.
Poly-Envelope (Mini)
If you're looking for a simple way to store business cards (where they won't get torn or ripped) in your purse or work bag, this inexpensive business card
poly-envelope is the solution you've been looking for! strong>NOTE: this is a replacement item as the previous version is no longer available.
Poly-Envelope (Zippered)
These are the pouches that are in my tax drawer for organizing my tax returns. They are AWESOME! The zipper slides like butter and the pouch is large
enough to store really thick tax returns and associated documentation and receipts. I absolutely love these and the aqua pop of color makes organizing and accessing your taxes a little bit more fun! 🙂
Rainbow Envelopes
One of the things I always had as a kid in my desk was my own set of envelopes for writing letters to pen pals or friends that or friends that moved
away. I recently discovered envelopes that come in rainbow colors that make it 10x more fun to send snail mail! These particular ones have the nice "quick strip" sticker to seal the envelope!
Scanner For Going Paperless
It’s actually EASY to go paperless when you have a good scanner, as in: it’s fast to scan, the papers don’t get jammed, it’s easy to setup, and it’s simple to use.
This is the latest model of the scanner I've been using for about 6 years! It scans to both PC and mac, iOS & Android, and can scan directly to the cloud wirelessly without a computer or device! It has a simple to use touchscreen making it easy to scan documents, photos, receipts, business cards, and other small pieces of paper you want to save! It can scan up to 30 pages per minute! This is by far the best scanner if you are considering going paperless! VIDEO: How to Scan Papers
Shredder
This is the shredder Ed and I use in our offices. It's shreds (cross-cuts) up to 16-pages at once including staples, credit cards, CD/DVDs, and paper clips
(however, I recommend removing and reusing the paper clip as opposed to shredding it). It holds a good amount of paper, it's a bit quieter than our old one, and it has never jammed to date!
Sticky Note Organizer (Wall)
I'm totally out-of-sight, out-of mind so when it comes to planning projects and jotting down ideas, I need to SEE to remember. These are the whiteboards
VIDEO: Office Organization: Project Planning
Storage Bin (Mini)
These are the little recycling bins I have scattered throughout my house for responsibly decluttering! They are the cutest little things for recycling small
items that never seem to have a good "temporary home" until they leave your house including batteries, ink cartridges, expired medications, etc. They also make decluttering a little bit more fun! 🙂 They are seasonal promotional items at Dollar Tree (always located in the check-out aisle!) but you can also find similar ones at Family Dollar, Walmart (expensive!), and on Amazon (expensive as well!).

I keep all my taxes in this box because the dividers allow me to separate different tax returns supporting documents. Everything stays put and

Okay, so these storage bins are super cool. They have built-in dividers that are collapsible which means you can either use them to divide the contents you're

I’m not big into taking pictures but still have LOTS of printed photos from the 90s and early 2000. I use this photo box to store and organize all of my photos.
Storage Drawers (elfa)
These are the freestanding drawers I use in my home office, pantry, bathroom, garage, and Ed's closet. There is a reason why I have so many-
Tackle Box (Batteries)
I tried 7 different tackle boxes for containing my batteries and this is the only one that worked! Why? This is the only one I could find (in a good size)
Tackle Box (Carrying Case)
This is the tackle box I use on the sides of my filing cabinet to store all of my filing accessories (e.g., filing tabs, filing labels, binder clips, etc). If you have the
same filing cabinet as me, this carrying case will fit perfectly like a glove! 🙂
Tackle Box (Large Deep)
This is the tackle box I use to store small electronics like flash drives, USB connectors, memory cards, batteries, ear phones, etc. It's the perfect size for
smaller gadgets in the office! Plus, it has removable dividers which means you can make each compartment smaller or larger depending upon what you're storing. The best thing about this tackle box is the lid stays shut tightly and the dividers don't move once in place!!
Tackle Box (Large Deeper)
This is the tackle box I use to store all of my small but bulky electronics and cords like old cameras, microphones, chargers/surge protectors, audio cables,
network cables, etc. It's literally the perfect size for all of the bulky cords or small electronics you might have tangled up in a box in your house! The best thing about this tackle box is the lid stays shut tightly and the dividers don't move once in place!!
Tackle Box (Large Shallow)
This is the tackle box I use to store all of my labeling accessories like clothespins, binder rings, shelf labels, etc. It's the perfect size for collections of "small-
sized" items! If you're a crafter, this tackle box would work great for embellishments, attachments, or any small materials you might have floating around your craft space. The best thing about this tackle box is the lid stays shut tightly and the dividers don't move once in place!!
Tackle Box (Narrow Deeper)
This is the tackle box I use to store all of my extra labels. However, it's the perfect size for storing stickers, cards, die-cuts, small sheets of fabric, or any similar
sized craft item! The best thing about this tackle box is the lid stays shut tightly and the dividers don't move once in place!!
Tackle Box (Scrapbook Paper)
This is the tackle box I use to store all of my scrapbook paper. It fits 12" x 12" paper perfectly! I also store small scrapbook paper books inside- works
beautifully! The best thing about this tackle box is the lid stays shut tightly!
Tackle Box (Small Shallow)
Believe it or not I've tried probably every type of tackle box on the market. This is by far my favorite SMALL tackle box. The dividers are adjustable, the clasps are
Trash Cans (Square)
This is going to sound beyond bizarre but I LOVE to throw things away in the these trash cans. There's something about three uniform trash cans (trash,
shred, recycle) perfectly lined up next to each other that just makes me smile every time I sort and toss things inside! And when you label each bin with a color-coded label (recycle = green, trash = blue, shred = red) it makes it that much easier and faster to discard things 🙂

Drawer Organizer (Shallow)
These are the drawer organizers I use for my shallow drawers in my vanity. I currently use them to contain toiletries, skincare, makeup, & hair products.
Hook (Cabinet Interiors)
I hang pot holders on the inside of my kitchen cabinets using these hooks. Because the tape is so sticky and heavy-duty, the hook won’t fall off. The
Hook (Door Hinge)
This is by far the coolest hook in hook history! It's a hook that hangs on the hinge of your closet door. How cool?! When placed on a lower hinge, it's the
perfect solution for school backpacks. No tools or hardware needed for installation. It just pops into the top pin of the door hinge.
Label (Clip-On)
These clip-on labels are perfect for labeling not only elfa drawers but regular containers/bins since they easily clip-on! They come with a white paper
insert, however, I often change scrapbook paper instead to add a pop of color or pattern!
Medicine Cabinet Organizer
This little organizer works like a charm in the medicine cabinet for cotton swabs, cotton pads, and all of your small tools like tweezers and scissors. I
Rolling Cart (Slim)
This is the makeup cart I featured in my makeup organization video. I loooooove it! It's super handy for rolling around the bathroom & it's tiered so it holds lots of
Shower Curtain Storage Liner
This product is so cool, it’s a shower curtain with storage. However, I use it as the curtain liner and store extra bars of soap, my hair brush and comb. It also
Stackable Bin (Under Sink)
These are the bins I showed in my "How to Organize Under the Kitchen Sink" video. They are excellent for maximizing vertical space as they stack smoothly on
top of each other. They come in various sizes so you can customize whatever you are organizing. PLUS, they can be used for organizing all kinds of things around the home: office supplies, toys, craft supplies, hardware, etc.
Storage Bin (Under Sink)
These are storage bins I use under my bathroom sink for corraling hair products, skin care, grooming tools for Mojo, and small travel items! They work

Folding Tool for Clothes
If you’ve ever wondered how retail stores get the “perfect” fold in shirts and pants, look no further. The secret is folding with the “Flip & Fold.” Not only
Fuzzball Remover
If you have fuzzballs on your clothes, this little tool is for YOU! This handy fabric shaver removes all of those unwanted pills with ease. It is oh-so
Iron Organizer (Heat-Resistant)
If you find yourself always waiting to put the hot iron back once it cools off, but then forgetting to put it back to find it still in the same place days later, this is
what you NEED! It's a heat-resistant wall-mounted iron organizer that you can literally put your iron back scorching hot and nothing will burn or melt! This particular iron organizer also holds the iron perfectly in place (it won't fall off) while also having really sturdy built-in hooks for your ironing board.
Retractable Clothesline
This little device is the modern solution to back-yard clothes lines. It's just like the ones you see in many hotels. It's great for hang-drying wet clothes and
towels in your bathroom.

Cleaning
Alejandra’s Vacuum Cleaner
This is the vacuum cleaner I have. It's my first Dyson and it's worth every penny! Why? It actually picks up EVERYTHING you vacuum, the
attachments are easy to use, it's great with pet hair, and the canister is extremely easy to empty without the dust and dirt flying everywhere. I have to say, it's actually fun to vacuum when you have a good vacuum cleaner! 🙂
Cleaning Brush (Grout / Edges)
This is the scrub brush I use for cleaning the grout lines and edges in the shower. It's my favorite scrubber for the shower! It's thin enough to reach small places
but thick enough to feel durable when you scrub hard!
Easy-to-Use Maker’s Mop
This is the mop I use to clean our wood floors! It's easy to use in that it slides nicely on the floor with its 360 degree pivot head! It has attachable microfiber
pads that you place on the bottom. The pads are removable and machine-washable!
Electronic Duster (Small)
This is one of those cool office gadgets that actually gets good use! It's a fuzzy finger you use to dust your computer screen and keyboard (I also use it to
dust my desk). It actually makes dusting fun! Who knew?!
Hook (Wall-Mounted)
These are the best hooks for hanging cleaning tools in the garage and/or laundry room (e.g., mop, broom, duster, and/or anything with a handle)! The
hooks are easy-to-install, sturdy, non-slip, and can be used in two ways - hung on the hook or through the loop (and yes, when you hang something through the loop, it actually stays!!).
Large-Size Cleaning Caddy
This is the caddy I use to corral all of my cleaning supplies in which I bring bathroom to bathroom! It's large enough to hold a roll of paper towels
and there is just enough space to hold all of my cleaning tools! It's also divided so things stay nice and contained!
Microfiber Cloth (All-Purpose)
These are the microfiber cloths I use for dusting, wiping counters, cleaning the floor, etc.. They are EXCELLENT and come in fun colors! Even after multiple
washes they remain thick, soft, and super durable!
Microfiber Cloth (Glass)
This is the microfiber cloth I use for cleaning glass and mirrors. Even after multiple washes, the cloth remains thick, soft, and super durable!
Microfiber Sponge
If this sponge was a pillow, it would be a "down pillow" since it tends to stay in place when you push down on it! This is my all-time favorite sponge! There is
something about this sponge that is just so soft, flexible, and easy to use (it's probably because it's made of microfiber!). Once you use this, you will see why it's so great! 🙂
Remove Sticky Residue
If you need to remove sticky residue (e.g., gum, residue from sticker price tags, tape, etc), this is the solution for you! GooGone literally wipes away sticky
residue in a couple of swipes. It also works for removing crayon, lipstick, mascara, oil, blood, grease, and shoe polish. If you don't need a big bottle of this, Dollar Tree sells a mini version for $1 🙂
Soap & Sponge Organizer
This is the soap dispenser and sponge holder I use at the kitchen sink. I searched forever to find a dispenser with a good pump where the soap
doesn't get stuck... and this is it!! The soap dispenser is easy to open, easy to fill, large enough where you don't have to constantly refill it, the pump works beautifully without getting stuck, AND it has a built-in sponge holder. This product is 5-star!!
Toilet Brush Cleaner
This is the toilet brush I have in my cleaning caddy. It's basic, it's one of the cheapest ones on the market, it has a mini brush at the top for cleaning the
rim of the toilet, and it just plain works! The only "con" about this brush is that it doesn't clean the toilet for you, haha 🙂 This is the latest version of the one that I use.
Tools
Furniture Levelers
Everyone hates a wobbly table. These wedges instantly "level" any wobbly table, piece of furniture, or appliance. Fits any size gap and can be stacked for
Furniture Movers
Everyone needs to have these. They help you move heavy furniture weighing up to 3200 pounds (no joke)! All you do is put these things under the
Label Maker
This is my new favorite label maker because it makes extra large labels and can print fun symbols. This is the latest version of the one that I use.
Label Tape (Blue – 18mm)
This is a really pretty blue label tape that is perfect for labeling a boy's room, the kids toy room, or for Hanukkah storage bins. It's also perfect for the person
whose favorite color is sky blue!
Label Tape (Clear – 12mm)
If the white background part of the label bothers you, check out this label tape. It's black text on clear tape. This is the most standard size you'll find- 1/2"
thick. I use black on clear for labeling a lot of solid color things like file folders and colored file tabs.
Label Tape (Clear – 6mm)
If you're looking to place a label on something small like the top of the kitchen drawer or dresser drawer, this is the tape you need! It's 6mm thick which
fits exact. This particular size tape comes in both black text on white tape AND black text on clear tape.
Label Tape (Orange – 18mm)
If you're looking for thick neon/fluorescent orange label tape, this is it. This is the exact color of a construction cone (it looks dull in the
picture. However, it's neon in real life!)! It's perfect for labeling tools in the garage, Halloween storage bins, or anything you want to stand out. It's also perfect for the person whose favorite color is really bright orange!
Label Tape (Pink – 12mm)
I use this white text on pink tape for labeling anything and everything girly! It's just a fun pink tape. And if you have kids, this color is fun for girls' closets
and/or toy rooms.
Label Tape (Turquoise – 18mm)
This is a really pretty turquoise label tape that is perfect for labeling Christmas storage bins or Halloween storage bins. It's also perfect for the
person whose favorite color is turquoise!
Label Tape (White – 12mm)
I use this red text on white tape for labeling that are vital and/or super important. Think "warning", "cautious", "danger", etc. The red text on the label
definitely pops and stands out.
Label Tape (White – 12mm)
If you're looking for "standard" size label tape- this is the most basic kind you'll find. It's 1/2 inch thick with black text on white. This is the most common,
popular, and cheapest label tape you'll find.
Label Tape (White – 24mm)
If you've seen jumbo sized labels in my organizing videos, this is the tape I used! This is probably my favorite label tape because it's just so stinking big!
And sometimes when labels are so ginormous, it's just more fun! Plus, they are hard to miss, meaning things might actually get put away with a jumbo label in your face!
Label Tape (White – 6mm)
If you're looking to place a label on something small like the top of the kitchen drawer or dresser drawer, this is the tape you need! It's 6mm thick which
fits exact. This particular size tape comes in both black text on white tape AND black text on clear tape.
Label Tape (Yellow – 12mm)
I use this black text on yellow tape for labeling things I want to stand out. Think wires, cords, electronics, etc. This bright yellow tape is excellent for
labeling wires behind furniture as it totally stands out in dark corners!
Label Tape (Yellow – Flex ID)
If you are looking for label tape to wrap around your cables, this is the tape to use (FYI: regular label tape won't stay wrapped!) Just a warning, it's hard to
wrap label tape (even the flexible ID type) on really thick cords (like your computer power supply cord if you have a PC). It's easier on normal rounded cables. It's also hard to label the cord with the printed text on either side of the "wrap." Other than that, it wraps really nicely! This particular tape will work with most standard size P-Touch label makers!
Museum Putty
Okay, so I always talk about museum putty in my organizing videos. This is it! This magical "organizing tool" keeps bins, baskets, dividers, and containers in
place when stuck to the bottom. The best thing about using putty is it prevents bins from sliding or moving when items inside are accessed! A must-have around the house for organizing projects.
Timer (12″ Size)
This timer is very easy to see across any room and helps keep you on track while you do tasks and chores in school or around the house as the colored portion

Flare Light
This is the flare light I keep in the organizing caddy in the trunk of my trunk in case of emergencies! It's magnetic so you can adhere to the
outside of your car if you need to use it and has 16 different signals.

Label (Travel Bottle)
If you don't have a label maker to label your travel-sized bottles, this is the next best thing! Just stick one of these labels on your bottle and you're good to go!
And no, they don't wash off in the water.
Life Hammer
This is the orange tool I showed in the middle console of my car in my car organization video! It's an emergency life hammer and seat belt cutter in case
you get trapped in your car and need to escape through the window - just tap the hammer on the glass and it breaks the window.
Poly-Envelope (Travel)
If you are traveling with documents (folders, print-outs, books, magazines, passport, checks), this is the best way to store them while on the move! This is a
weather-proof (won't get wet or melt!) and indestructible poly-envelope that's made from vinyl and perfect for all types of documents! The zipper is extra-smooth, the outside can be labeled, the material is smooth (not "sticky" like other vinyl), it comes in two-sizes, AND it's fold-able when not in use!
VIDEO: How to Pack Travel Documents

etc. This particular brand travel bottle has tight, leak-proof lids that actually stay closed while in transit!
Travel Organizer (Carry-On)
This is the rolling bag I showed in my suitcase packing video! It's a really smooth rolling (think butter!) carry-on bag + chair in one (you can sit on the
bag while waiting at the airport!) How cool?! WARNING: This bag is super expensive. But it's made to last a lifetime.
Travel Organizer (Cubes)
I started using packing cubes recently and whoaaaaa, what a difference in how organized I feel! Sorting items by category into cubes while traveling
makes packing, unpacking, and getting dressed so much easier and faster. Not to mention, they are total space savers in the suitcase. There is nothing like feeling efficient when you travel!
Travel Organizer (Toiletries)
These travel bags are super fun! Not only are they clear (so you can see what you have) but they also have smooth zipping zippers!
Trunk Caddy
This is the caddy I use in the trunk of my car for tools and other emergency items! It has compartments inside and out making it great for keeping things
organized! If your trunk has a velcro bottom, you could adhere velcro strips to the bottom of this to keep the caddy secure in place! NOTE: this is a replacement item as the previous version is no longer available.
