When putting together a gift for someone, the two things I care most about are:
Will this gift create clutter in the person’s life?
What is the theme of the gift? I just like the gift to make sense, okay!
I’ve put together three themed gift ideas that incorporate some of my favourite organizational products and won’t add clutter to your loved one’s life.
These Rubbermaid dry food containers are what I keep all my baking supplies in, tucked away in the cupboard above the stove. I love these containers because they are budget friendly, stack well and are easy to find, if you need to add to the collection. Add a print out of your favourite recipe and a few of the dry ingredients and you have a great themed gift for a soon-to-be Organized Baker.
I use a Copco tiered shelf organizer for my canned food and for my spices. However, I’ve also seen them used on a work station for art supplies, or in a garage work bench with jars of nuts and bolts. If you pair this tiered shelf with some of your favourite local or small shop consumable pantry items, this makes a great consumable product and helps your loved one organize.
Wire management is an easy way to help take control of all the gadgets in our life. I love this HomePod Mini Stand which tucks the wires away in a case, allowing the HomePod mini to sit on top while plugged in. Extension cords can create a lot of eye clutter making a space feel unorganized. An cable management box creates a home and contains the distraction. I use these cable clip organizers anywhere I have a phone cord extension. Velcro Wire Wraps can help manage long wires that are actively being used, as well as ones in storage. The velcro is strong enough to hold thick extension cord wires, but flexible enough to wrap around thin headphone cables. Smart outlets may not physically organize anything, but they certainly organize my life! We are an Apple family, so smart outlets that are Apple HomeKit compatible were important to us. I use them to ask Siri to turn on my daughter’s sound machine, and I turn off the living room light through my iPhone’s Control Center. Combine some or all of the items, and you’ve got a great clutter-free, themed gift for any loved one.
