These containers are sturdy, have sealable lids and are stackable. They are great for storing crafts and office supplies, kitchen/pantry items, greeting cards, receipts, small toys or odds and ends in the garage. You can also use them as health and beauty accessories storage kits.

3. Shoeboxes:

These can also be reused and stacked easily. Use these for jar spices, artwork, magazines, DVDs, CDs, cords, bills, school supplies or photos. Shoeboxes are easy to label and can be covered with contact paper to make them more visually appealing. You could also use
clear shoeboxes as a handy organizational tool.

4. Egg Cartons: 

Use these to organize smaller items like golf balls, jewelry, baby socks, seeds, rubber bands, loose change, etc. Just throw them in drawers and you’re good to go.

5. Clementine Crates:

Pots are great storage solutions for items that don’t need to be covered. Use these for pens, markers, combs, toothbrushes, hairbrushes or cosmetics.

8. Coffee Cans:

Use empty coffee cans in the kitchen to store miscellaneous items like pet treats, drink pouches or cookie cutters. You could also use them in the bathroom to store hair accessories or toiletries.
