Promising review: "I love this thing! This is one of the best products I've bought for my room in a while. It's a great way to display my books, without cluttering every bit of surface area of my home. It can be used to make displays of all kinds, both basic and geometric. Show off those books, guys!" —Lindsay J. Jagneaux

Promising review: "TikTok has done it again and made me spend money on unnecessary things. However, it was definitely worth it! I love the durability and space it saved me compared to larger and bulkier flatware organizers. Hands-down a good purchase!" —Sierra
Get it from Amazon for $10.89.
Promising review: "These are amazing. They have helped so much with the toy clutter. I have one in each child's room and one in our loft/living space. The kids can easily clean up and the toys end up in the right location. I love this!" —DeborahB

Promising review: "I had a handmade bag to hold my plastic grocery bags, FOR YEARS!! When it finally tore so badly that I could no longer use it, I found this item. It's perfect! It's well-made, has a stainless finish, and no sharp edges. It's mounted on the inside of my cabinet door, making it very convenient, and freeing up some space in my cabinet. It holds 25–30 bags, probably more if you really stuff them in. I really like this dispenser." —Cubby
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
Promising review: "I’ve been looking for an organizer for my skincare products. I saw this on TikTok but didn’t know if it was something I was looking for. After a few days of deciding, I finally bought it. It is absolutely perfect. The cubby areas are the perfect size to fit my products. It’s a good medium-sized organizer and is everything the description said it was. It looks just like the pictures. It’s a must-buy. It’s easy to spin as well." —Maria Banks
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in two colors).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says: "I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, which seems expensive for a shower curtain liner but is totally worth the price. Its mesh pockets are incredibly sturdy and even *I* can fit all my shower stuff in there. (FYI, I often keep three or four body washes and conditioners each in the shower at all times.) There’s lots of reinforcement where each pocket meets the liner and at the top of the liner, so dropping a weighty bottle of shampoo in a pocket is NBD. Obviously, you want to try for even weight distribution between the pockets and toiletries, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. And these smooth-gliding hooks I also bought for my new digs make opening and closing my shower curtain as smooth as buttah." Check out her full review here, #7.

StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.

Don't tell me that I'm the only one with a favorite pair of socks. There are four organizers in the set: a six-cell for scarves and ties, an eight-cell for underwear, a seven-cell for bras, and a 24-cell for socks.
Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back!" —M. Hanson
Get the set of four from Amazon for $14.27 (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "I really needed something to store my big pots and pans in the cabinet. I have other racks in which I have stored small- to medium-sized pots and lids but for big ones, I needed something different. I just took a chance and ordered this. I was worried that this is going to be very flimsy. I was wrong. It's very strong. I have expanded the rack and put two big pots/pans on top and two big ones on the bottom. It's amazing how much space my cabinet has now. This is really a good buy." —Mrspjr
Get it from Amazon for $15.87 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "Love this! My bedroom has evolved into my son's playroom, so I wanted something like a toy bin, but more esthetic. This does the job! Fits all of his large toys, the lid is lightweight, so I don't have to worry about my son slamming his fingers, and it looks beautiful. Nice and sturdy. Perfect little perch." —Kayla

Knapps Knots is a woman-owned small business from San Diego that specializes in handmade macramé crafts.
Promising review: "It’s LOVELY! The rods are a little long for under my cabinets but I made it work and it still looks beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Beautiful craftsmanship. I had no counter space left so I had to have it. I posted to Snapchat and my Instagram and Facebook stories. I have already gotten tons of compliments from people saying they have to get one too! —Hannah Campbell
Get it from Knapps Knots on Etsy for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in, and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."

This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. I would definitely recommend it for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." —Sariyah J
Get it from Amazon for $16.44 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "What a space maker! Plus, it's super attractive. I haven’t found a use yet for the hooks, but we’re optimistic." —Angel and Myke
Get it from Amazon for $41.99.
Promising review: "This is perfect for what we are looking for. It had to fit in a smaller space and served to stop a puddle of shoes from forming at the doorstep. I am glad that we have smaller feet/shoes though as the spaces are a bit narrow. There are only two larger spaces that would work for high-top shoes or heeled boots. All the other spaces fit flats or low sneakers well." —Sara C.

Promising review: "We needed extra garage storage in our new home, and FlexiMount's garage rack solved that problem! It came with clear directions for installation. For the easiest installation, I suggest you have a second person for help. The moment we took the rack out, we immediately noticed the high-quality material it was made out of. If you need a garage storage solution, we can't recommend FlexiMounts enough! 10/10, 5 stars!" —JJ

Get it from Edge Live Creations Co. on Etsy for $56.70+ (originally $63; available in two sizes and in six finishes).
Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble, and it's completely versatile. Just hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in a two-pack).
Promising review: "I'm surprisingly satisfied with this organizer! This one is absolutely perfect for my purses. I love the little side 'pouches.' It's super easy to set up, holds up well with added weight, and has lots of different-sized compartments. Love love love." —Nicki cook

YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: "We just moved into a new home, and I needed a way to store spices in a drawer. This product is exactly what I was looking for. It fits beautifully in my drawer, but I love that the strips can be cut for a custom fit. I shopped around for other in-drawer spice organizers, but I would have had to purchase separate jars and transfer the spices. No thanks. This product works with the jars and containers just as they come from the store — no need to purchase special jars. It holds large and small round jars, square containers, and oversized spices. The quality is outstanding. I'm very happy with my purchase!" —EPD

Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn

Promising review: "This is perfect! My daughter loves that she can still reach her animals and as a mom who likes a tidy room, this is perfect." —Nichole Cobbett
Get it from Amazon for $14.98.
Promising review: "These are perfect for any kids’ room! I was getting so tired of messy stuffed animals and blankets all over so it’s nice to have them out of sight but still easily accessible. My 2-year-old loves to sit on hers and read books. She doesn’t have a ton of stuffed animals so there is plenty of room to add to it for when her collection grows. I love the fun bright print and sturdiness — she drags it all over the ground but I don’t worry about it tearing at all. Just what she needed in her room." —dd
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 14 colors and in three sizes).

Promising review: "Love it! I got two baskets. The quality is great. The baskets have a good capacity. They're just what I needed to make the space under my coffee table a useful, yet clean-looking storage space. And the handles are a nice touch — they really add a lot!" —Meerkat

Promising review: "I just moved into a brand-new apartment and didn't want to put holes in the walls. I have purchased quite a variety of the 3M Command mini hooks, wire hooks, cord bundlers, picture hangers, photo bars, display shelves, extra-adhesive tabs in different sizes, etc. It will be a long time before I go back to using nails. These Command products are the greatest! I recently found one of the unused adhesive tabs in the pocket of something that had gone through the washer and dryer and it STILL worked!!! Thanks for a terrific, easy-to-use product." —LJE
Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $13.95 (also available in three other size packs and a refill option).
Promising review: "These are so helpful if your fridge is cluttered. I bought these for my mom, who is an extremely cluttered person. I love her to death, but she is not an organized person. Her fridge used to look wild. There would be food piled on top of food, and small jars and containers EVERYWHERE. I bought her these to help her organize everything. Now she can see what she has and everything has a place. Thank you for making something like this to help those that are so cluttered." —MioRioZio
Get a set of six from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors and also a 12-pack).
Promising review: "This turned a mess of a cabinet into an organized cabinet. We use A LOT of spices and it was always a nightmare to find the right one. Now I just spin to find what I want. It’s a nice height, too, and allows for different bottle sizes to be placed on the racks." —Vegmom

The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington! And if you need help learning how to load and unload the Roll Keeper, you can watch this handy video.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mal Mower says: "Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny-tiny closet in a small apartment (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!"

Promising review: “Holy crap! This is way better than an over-the-shower head caddy or a corner shelf! Its adhesion is amazing, as you can tell we have it chock-full and it’s not once moved or came undone!!!! Gives our shower more space and way easier to keep clean now!! I’d highly recommend it!!! Also, please note we don’t have tile, so I’m unsure how it would hold up on different surfaces but they give you two adhesive strips so it gives you an opportunity to try on different areas.” —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super-duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa says: "This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes."

You can also use 3M Command strips to attach these to a wall if you don't have a medicine cabinet.
Promising review: "This is an awesome piece to have in my medicine cabinet. It keeps my razor up above on one shelf and then creams or whatever beneath, and on another shelf, I have one holding my toothbrush up high and other items underneath. I love it. It adds so much more room to my cabinets and makes it functional where before everything fell out all over. This is the best idea EVER!! More space, less mess. I LOVE IT!!" —C. Chamblee
Get it from Amazon for $19.16.
Promising review: "My bed frame has a pretty low clearance (less than 6 inches). This fits under it easily since the material is soft. I used it to store all my sheets and blankets to open more space in the closet. I like that the tops are clear so you can see what's inside without having to dig through it." —Kyra

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "A great storage basket. I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's made well and quite sturdy. I have two pillows, a blanket, and a small quilt inside. It's currently in my living room, holding those items for cold weather; once spring and summer return, I'll use it in my guest room. I'm happy to know that it's machine washable, though I've had no need to clean it. It's a fine addition to my home!" —pksommer
