More Interesting Facts About,

Alright. So the first thing I found was this double shelf like this, and these go underneath like the bathroom cabinet, in the kitchen and you just put them there and then you can put a container underneath and then on top and then it just totally maximized its space. And what you do with these, what I always do is put caulk on them so they don't move when they're under the cabinet. And if you buy two, you can put them like this and make like a deeper double shelf organizer. Or you can place them next to each other if you have shallow organizers.

There are many creative uses for these things. Alright. And those are a

dollar

. Impressive find. Alright, the next thing I found was these things. These are drawer organizers and are wire. So with wire organizers, you're limited to what you can

inside, obviously you can't do thumbtacks or clips because they'll fall out. But you can make things bigger and you can use them in the office, in your desk drawers or in the kitchen to

kitchen utensils and such. OK. So, okay, this was a fun find. These are vitamin organizers and I actually tied them together with rubber bands for this video, but they are individual vitamin organizers.

And when I saw them I thought, okay, yeah, they're great for vitamins, but they're also great for when you're traveling and putting on earrings, small jewelry, safety pins, or like a mini sewing kit or something. And then you get seven in a package, which is like seven different organizers. And you can also put them in your bag to take vitamins, medicine or something, there are many interesting uses. And they come in green and blue too, and then I think of course. Alright. So, next, it was an incredible find. OK. So, there are a lot of drawer organizers here.
But these are incredibly sturdy. They're not vented, so you can put clips like the smaller one and push pins and stuff and they won't fall out. But they are very durable and come in three sizes. There is a long size for pens, pencils and markers. And then there's a... this is like, I don't know, I guess it's medium sized or something. But yeah, like I don't know, like the gadgets on your desk. And they have a larger size for larger devices, like a large calculator, sticky notes or something. And then they came, they came in silver, pink, blue and I think green, yes.
So a good variety. Alright, next thing I was really excited about. So one of the things I do when I buy organizing products is I always think about how I can repurpose this item for a different use. Many times you see something like, for example, this. This is a butter dish. It said butter dish on the cardboard packaging. And I was thinking, well, just because it's a butter dish doesn't mean you have to use it as a butter dish. And I thought I don't even need a butter dish. But what can I use this for? So I came home and saw that when you take off the top, this is like a little organizer in itself and I thought this is the perfect size for your medicine cabinet.
Because a lot of medicine cabinets are very shallow, all the shelves and a lot of times when you open the door, if you kind of like the shelves are at an angle, things slide and move and stuff. But if you put this in place and putty it on the shelves, you can put your stuff in here and it won't move. So a medicine cabinet organizer for a dollar, how fun? And then you have a little tray, so you might want to use that as a lid and then keep it upside down. You can also put jewelry here.
I thought of it like this is in your drawers and then you have the top like this. So, all kinds of fun resolutions. Alright, next up and this vitamin organizer is like that, so it's kind of a basic organizer. It's all together. They are not individualized, but if you need a vitamin organizer this is great or another jewelry organizer for when you travel. Alright. Next, if you are organizing your kids' desk to help them get organized for school, these are fun organizers. They are really profitable. They come three per dollar. So, three longs for a dollar, it's like 33 cents each.
These also come three per dollar, in different sizes. And these come two for a dollar. And I think this came in red and I think it was clear too, but I felt like it was blue, royal blue is really fun, especially if you're organizing a kid's desk or if you're in college or something and it was a good price. . Alright, next is something else like the butter dish. This is a paint organizer so I guess you just put the paint in here and then hang this on the ladder and you're done. But when I saw them I thought, but what if you had a towel rack like the one in the bathroom and you took a towel rack and you put it like in a craft room or your kid's room or something and then you just hung them? the towel rack and then you put pens, pencils, markers or even toys like, I don't know, strollers or something or in the craft room like pompoms or something, and everything is really accessible.
So you just line them all up on the towel rack and they hang perfectly and then you have these open containers where you just grab things. Very cool. I love being creative and thinking of different purposes and all of that is fun. Alright. This container here. This is so nice. I feel like this is like, you would see this at another store for $5, but it was a dollar from Dollar Tree and it comes in strawberry milk pink and this pretty blue. So this is great for a baby's room, a child's room, or anywhere else in the house.
I only said a nursery because I feel like it's a baby's color. Alright. And then these organizers, they're fun. They're new, at least I've never seen them before. But they are pretty colored organizers and have lids. Let me show you the pink because pink is pretty. So they have lids like this and they just click into place like this so the lid doesn't come off and the click is quite nice. I always click on things. That's very nice. But this would be nice for the bottom of your bathroom cabinet to hold all your toiletries, like sorting them by category and putting them in all these different colored containers.
I think they have blue too and I don't know why I didn't buy that one. But yes, green, yellow and red. Lots of fun things. You don't have to use them in the bathroom, that's just an idea. You could use them as toys. So yeah, that's all I found. I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope this gives you
