(In my best Buddy the Elf excited voice)... 5 weeks until Christmas! It's coming so crazy fast and I'm all in. I've been asked by so many friends what they should ask for as gifts for Christmas that can help them get organized, so here we go... My top 10 Professional Organizer "need it" items for your home that you can ask for this holiday season. #1 Corelle Dishes I know what you're thinking... DISHES? Yes, most definitely dishes... but specifically THESE dishes. Why? Corelle is super thin, stackable, extremely durable, style neutral, and takes up SO MUCH LESS SPACE than most dishware. It's an Professional Organizer's dream. Can't go wrong. Click the pic to check them out. #2 No Slip Hangers Hangers... boring right? But what if I told you all the Professional Organizers swear by them? Get in with the cool crowd and get yourself these velvet covered hangers. They not only protect your clothes, but are SUPER thin- increasing your closet capacity by 33%! No joke, these are tiny magic workers. |
