Inside: Gift ideas for people who love to organize. Get practical gift ideas for the organizer in your life!
Do you (or someone you know) love to declutter, organize, or find clever storage hacks? Recently, I read Marie Kondo’s book “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.” Marie Kondo is a minimalist and encourages her readers to get rid of anything that doesn’t “bring joy.” For the things they keep, she recommends everything has a home. If your things don’t have a home, they quickly become clutter and before you know it, you’ll be right back to where you started.
I agree that everything needs a home and would add, for a family, it’s important that everyone understands where things belong. Containers and labeling systems can help you and your family maintain an organized home. Let’s check out 28 gifts for people obsessed with organizing!

Tools You Can Use
These are a few of my favorite tools to make things look pretty, keep items straight, and help all family members know where things belong.
Label Maker
A simple and inexpensive label maker can help you indicate the purpose of jars, a shelf, a binder, or even a cord. They are easy to use and give a professional flare to any home organization project.

Chalkboard Labels
Do you love the trendy chalkboard look? If so, this option is right up your ally! These labels are another easy-to-use and inexpensive solution. You can write on them with paint pens and stick them to plastic bins, jars, and other containers with a smooth surface. They work great in the pantry, office, or bathroom and are an inexpensive DIY option.

Cricut Joy
Cricut joy is an electronic cutting machine. You choose your medium e.g. self-adhesive vinyl, the color you desire, and you design the label. You can go from simple to complicated multi-color designs depending on your preference and capability. I’ve used it to make labels for bins in the pantry, decals for my kid’s walls, labels for water bottles etc. The Cricut Joy is more versatile than other label printers. And it’s a less expensive option than larger cutting machines. You can cut and write custom labels with this little machine.

Laminator
If you have checklists you follow, routines for the kids, or identification cards that are only made out of plastic, then a laminator is a great tool to make the paper more durable. I’ve used it to cover cardstock health insurance cards so that I could keep them in my wallet. I also have an annual calendar for important dates like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The laminator is also good to use on things you want to write on with a dry erase marker.

Cable Clips
Are you tired of having loose cables around your house? These small adhesive cable clips are great to affix to desk or nightstand. I’ve used them for my phone charging cable so that I don’t have to look for it every night as well as for the cord to our baby monitor. They help keep cords in order and take out the guesswork when you’re trying to locate them!

Paper Organization
Bills, receipts, and junk mail are just a few of the paper items that can create a lot of clutter each week. If you’re looking to keep a home office in order or minimize paper clutter, these are a couple of tools you can use.
Paper Shredder
Safely get rid of sensitive documents with personal information by purchasing an inexpensive shredder. Stay on top of your organization by making a point to shred immediately after you sort through your mail.

Storage Units
Craft bin
This multi-drawer storage unit was the perfect solution to my kid’s craft needs. It consolidated art supplies throughout our house into one small area. Each drawer can be used for a specific purpose, and labels help the kids keep it organized.

Containers
Containers come in all shapes and sizes and can be used to define the purpose of a space. Let’s check out some containers that are perfect for your kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and travel!
Kitchen
OXO canisters
These canisters are ideal for your pantry. Their Cereal box is my personal favorite. It’s clear so you can see what type and how much you have. They come in all shapes and sizes that work well with baking supplies, oatmeal, kids snacks, or any type of item you’d buy from the bulk section like nuts and seeds.

Spice containers
If you want a uniform look and to save money in the long run, glass spice containers are the way to go. Buying no-name brand spices that come in plastic bags instead of bottles are less expensive. You can transfer them into the bottles and save money over time.

Acrylic containers for refrigerator
Refrigerators have a couple of drawers, but often additional boxes can help to keep your food and drinks organized. They make them to specifically hold eggs, soda cans, yogurt, or vegetables to name a few.
Sorbus Fridge Bins and Freezer Bins
Battery tray
Okay okay, maybe you don’t keep batteries in the kitchen, but we do! We have them in our organized “junk drawer.” This is an organizing tool my dad found for us. They store all different size batteries and have a tester on it so you can check to see if the battery still has a charge. As a family with young kids and lots of toys that require batteries, this organizer is a must!

Travel Organizers
If you travel a lot, there are a couple of products you should consider to help you get organized.
