18 Life-Simplifying Organizers from Amazon

I haven’t always been the most organized person in the world. I’m a creative type. BUT. But. Since having children, I have had to become organized (ish) out of sheer necessity. My three kids are a small storm of chaos, and if I didn’t have systems in place to manage it at least somewhat, we’d literally never get out the door in the morning. At least not with matching shoes on.

The good news is that we are living in an era of great organizational wealth, mostly thanks to Amazon. If you can think of an area of your home that’s messy, Amazon has a handy little organizer for it, and it’ll be delivered to your house in 2 days.

I’ve been able to do quite a bit of my own research into Amazon’s home organization products through trial-and-error ordering (I’m a big fan of decluttering my home on a regular basis, and I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my organization routines stick), and while writing organizing articles for various websites and magazines. Also: I watch a lot of TikToks about Amazon finds. Can’t forget the TikToks.

Because of all this. I’ve found some pretty great organizing essentials on Amazon, and, instead of gatekeeping, which is a phrase I also got on TikTok, I thought I’d share them here. In case you, like me, need tools in your life that literally force you to be organized.

The best organization products on Amazon

I’ve started with Amazon kitchen organizers, since that seems to be the area I organize most, personally, and then added finds for the playroom, bathroom, closets and more.

1. Spice drawer shelving

Amazon has an amazing selection of kitchen organizers. One of my all-time favorites is this spice drawer shelving. It’s wood, so you can cut it to fit your kitchen drawers. It makes cooking weeknight dinners just that much easier when you can actually find the spices you need.

2. Spice jars & labels

Going along with #1, these spice jars and corresponding labels have been one of my favorite Amazon organization finds. I swear more people are impressed with my spice drawer than any other area of my home.

3. Cabinet risers

I love these little cabinet risers for my deep pantry cabinet so I can always see what’s in the back. Genius.

4. Lock-top pantry containers

I use these lock-top pantry containers for storing flour, sugar, baking soda, etc. They’re similar to the OXO pop-top containers, since the lids “lock” in place, but they’re less expensive. I just use my label maker to label each container.

5. Pantry lazy Susans

I have a form of these in almost every cabinet in my kitchen. Again, they make it easy to see everything in the cabinet so you don’t have to dig through things to see what’s in the back. I also use smaller versions in my bathroom.

6. Clear plastic pantry bins

These are great for grouping like items together in your pantry. It’s not only helpful when you’re packing lunches in a mad rush, but also when you’re making a grocery list because you can quickly look in the bin where you keep say, your tomato paste, to see if you need to restock or not. I label each bin so I remember where everything goes.

7. Quakehold Gel / Museum Putty

Say what? This one may seem odd, and I almost forgot about it since it’s not a traditional organizing essential, but this clear putty works great for holding drawer organizers in place (no more sliding around!). You just put a small amount of the putty at the bottom corners of your drawer organizers, and they stay put when you open the drawers.

8. Cabinet storage racks

I love these because they basically double the space in your kitchen cabinets. I have one for my coffee mugs, one for kids lunch boxes, and one for mixing bowls.

9. Acrylic monthly calendar

I have this calendar hanging in our family command center/ homework area, and it’s great. I bought it for looks, since it hangs in a highly visible area of our home, but it’s also the perfect size to keep track of school deadlines, appointments, birthday parties, etc. My kids also love reminding me when it’s time to change the calendar.

10. File storage

This basically turns any cabinet into a filing cabinet, which is awesome since I keep a file for each kid with their important school papers, medical documents, name labels, and artwork we want to save to later file into memory bins.

11. Mesh zipper bags

I saw this one on TikTok. You can use these mesh bags in your playroom/area to store Lego sets with their instructions, puzzle pieces and board game pieces together, costume sets as a whole, etc. Genius.

12. Fabric storage cubes

I use these in my linen closet to store washcloths and hand towels, as well as sheets and pillowcases by size. ( I just stuck a label on each bin for the item it houses). I also use them in kids’ closets to house out-of-season shoes and sports gear, diapers and wipes, etc.

13. Bunk Bed Storage Shelf

I recently got bunk beds for my two boys, but one thing I didn’t factor in was where my older son, who has the top bunk, would store things like his water cup, alarm clock and books to read before bed. Enter, this handy caddy, which hangs off the side of the bed and stores everything he needs.

18. A label maker

I can’t believe I got this far down the list without mentioning my label maker. This is like the backbone of my home organization strategy, because no system works unless you label it. There are all kinds of fancy label makers out there, but I prefer this simple DYMO version!
