2023 Organization Gifts for People Who Hate Clutter

For some of us, there’s a certain joy in label makers. And school supplies. And planners. And the KonMari Method. If that sounds like you—or someone you know—you’ve come to the right place. These organization gifts will help them control the chaos in their lives and step into 2024 with a sense of tranquility (at least when it comes to their junk drawers and closets).

What to Look for in a Genuinely Great Organization Gift:

• What’s the clutter bomb-prone area your giftee is always complaining about? See if you can find a smart solution for that always-overflowing junk drawer, work tote or shoe bin.
• Are they into to-do lists and journaling? If so, look into planners and organizational supplies to help them clear their thoughts (and the rest will follow). If they’re not, skip directly to something functional, like the jewelry roll or Beís Weekender bag.
• What’s their goal for 2024? Do they want to travel more, feel more organized or on top of work (or reach for a promotion), or feel less stressed at home? That can give you a solid direction for an organizational gift that also sparks joy—and brings them closer to getting what they really want out of each day.

6. FYY Electronics Organizer, $13 at Amazon
7. Oxo Expandable Utensil Organizer, $17 at Amazon (It doesn’t seem like a gift, until you realize the strange joy it brings to never have spoons and whatnot rolling around in your drawers.)

BONUS: 3 Organization Gifts for Parents They’ll Thank You For (For Years to Come)

1. Stuffed Animal-Storing Bean Bag, $29 at Amazon (Choose the kid’s favorite animal, and it basically becomes a giant Squishmallow-like chair that stores a TON of their stuffies. My daughter’s holds 30 right now, and she can easily unzip it to swap out which ones she wants to play with at any given time. I’ve recommended it to half a dozen fellow parents.)
2. LiveMemory Car Storage Box, $19 at Amazon (Fold out the track and let them race their cars back into the bin when they’re done playing. Part toy, part clutter container—everyone wins.)
3. Loradi Convertible Diaper Bag Tote, $35 at Amazon (The wide open top stays open once unzipped, so you can easily grab your changing pad, snacks or wallet while holding a wriggling baby. Plus, it can be worn as a tote or backpack and has plenty of compartments for every essential (including several that are diaper-width wide, and an insulated pocket for bottles.)
