Whether you’re shopping for a #holiday #gift or for yourself, there’s a lot to be said for things that help #store and #organize #clothing and other merchandise. While the most obvious is The Container Store, you can look to more than two dozen retailers for a variety of innovative home #storage products, Real Simple says. #Decluttering queen Marie Kondo has a line of stylish #organizers for at home and on the go, for example, and big-box retailers such as Target, Home Depot and Ikea offer bins, shelving and accessories. #Organization and style often go hand-in-hand, and many retailers are offering expedited shipping to get #gifts in time for Christmas.

Organizational Accessories Perfect for Giving
One of the critical steps in #decluttering and #organizing is to corral all useful items into the spaces you can find them easily. Depending on the item, that may be a shelf, a drawer, a box or a bin — as long as you know where to look for it and get in a routine of putting things in their proper places, you’ll never be left wondering where something is. Whatever you or the people on your #gift list have trouble organizing — tools, jewelry, hats, closets, spices or life in general — That’s Why I’m Broke offers 33 accessories that can keep #clutter in check and perfect for #holiday giving. #GiftsToConquerClutter
Give a Gift That Cuts the Clutter
If you have a friend or family member who struggles with #clutter, consider giving them a #holiday #gift that helps get #organized. Good Housekeeping recommends a variety of #containers, #organizers, packing cubes and #storage bins that will help organize everything from charging cables to kitchen implements to yard tools, plus a labelmaker that can help put a name to the place. Once the essentials are organized and stored in a reliable spot, it’s easy to determine what’s extra and inessential — and those things can be #decluttered and #donated to benefit the nation’s #veterans through ClothingDonations.org.
Buy Holiday Tins and Platters at the Thrift
Presentation is half the battle when you’re making cookies or other #holiday treats to #give. Instead of buying new tins, bags and boxes for your edible #gifts every year, visit the local #thrift and #secondhand stores supplied by generous #donations to ClothingDonations.org. There, you can find lightly used decorative tins, platters and plates ready to reuse with your homemade #gifts. The resale of all goods #donated contributes to programs that support the nation’s #veterans, and your festive recipes will make you the star gift-giver of the season! #HomemadeHolidayFavorites
