They can work in the kitchen, the bathroom, the pantry...almost anywhere where clutter accumulates. Talk about versatility.2. Custom Pull Out Shelves

They sit on rails and extend completely out with one quick tug, giving you access to everything you need without any struggle.

A label maker for a super-organizer is more than a simple gift: it’s like a personalized acknowledgment of their passion for keeping things tidy.Think a label maker doesn’t have many uses? You’d be surprised. A good model comes with a variety of typefaces, symbols, and other options, allowing you to use them for anything you can imagine around the house. You could color-code your pantry, or label that mess of cords behind the TV so you never have to waste time following them back to their source again.4. Cable Management Set
Nobody likes the nests and tangles that seem to show up wherever we have cables (especially behind the TV). The especially clean-minded find it particularly frustrating.That’s the appeal of this simple gift: they’ll be able to clear up that whole mess...and take a weight off the back of their mind.You have options here: on the low end of price, consider a simple set of chords that wind up and keep cables attached together, reducing the space they take up. Or, go a little more high-end and invest in a slotted box that hides those messy cables from view entirely.5. Drawer Dividers
Draw dividers work like magic: they transform the chaos of an ugly pile of cutlery into neat sections that are easy to keep clean and organized. And it’s not just for your cutlery drawer! Dividers can work for all sorts of things, from stationery to dishes to the odds and ends in your bedroom.6. Organization Board
The adamantly organized among us simply love lists—so what better gift could there be than a place to keep those lists, along with all the other notes it takes to keep your life organized. A good option should include a calendar as well, so all those notes can live in the same place.7. Clever Racks, Hooks, and Shelves
It’s possible that nothing excites a genuine neat-freak more than an ingenious solution to common storage problems. Companies like Umbra focus on just that: elegant and simple solutions that make keeping your space clean a much easier proposition.8. Storage Bins (they’ll actually use)
