YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: "I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." — Amazon Customer
A set of airtight food storage containers
The 14-piece set comes with reusable labels, a marker, and a measuring spoon set!
Promising review: "No matter how many times I tried to make the package clutter in my pantry look nice, it wasn't happening. I tried the pop-top containers before but things still got stale and were too expensive to do the entire pantry. This set was so affordable that I bought two of them and was able to finally get everything organized! I've had no issues with things getting stale and my 4 yr old is now able to easily see, access, and open cereal or snacks when he wants to. Definitely recommend!" — Fisch
Under-cabinet containers
Each jar is sold in a set of two or three and comes with their own magnetic rims and one stainless steel shelf plate.

The jars are airtight and self-seal when you put them back, so you can store anything from coffee beans to cotton swabs in them.

Promising review: "AMAZING! I love this product. The containers are a good quality and the rims unscrew for easy cleaning. They really are tightly sealed and there is no need for a lid. The customer service was fab, providing personalized labels and the delivery was amazingly quick considering I'm in England!" — samhhawk99
An interlocking storage organization set
Promising review: "I put these in my closet to make extra shelves for sweaters/sweatshirts. They were easy to assemble and worked great at adding additional space to my closet. I like that my clothes don’t topple over into the pile next to them anymore. They were easy to put together, and if I move they will be easy to take apart, put in a small box and move. I'm very happy with this purchase." — Goldensummerdog

A silverware sorter that takes up very little space but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery
PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $11.99.
Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" — mialro
A wineglass rack you can put anywhere in your home
BTW, one rack can hold up to nine standard size glasses.
Promising review: "Overall very pleased with product. Found some floating shelves to match a cabinet. Then added these to make my custom wine stem rack. Quality better than expected and love the darker finish and not the standard Chrome option. These also were the right size for the width and depth of the Shelf. So far I've gotten several compliments." — Ms Lila
Divider sticky notes for note-takers who are not type A, but type A+++
See BuzzFeed's full write-up of these sticky notes.
Promising review: "I purchased these for my day planner but use them for so many other things. These stick well and are in six bright colors. They come in a little book like case that helps keep them clean and protected when not in use. They are easy to peel and stick and then remove again as necessary. They do not damage books or papers at all. I use these for my day planner, noting recipes in cookbooks, taking notes in various craft books, taking notes on important documents so I remember what I need to do with them later. I will be buying these again when I run out." — Sarah Lee

Promising review: "I ordered this because I'm going on a long road trip later this month and wanted to have a reliable organizer within reach. This is definitely worth the price and very easy to install. Would recommend." — Amazon Customer
An under-cabinet drawer
Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based off the high ratings and they hold true." — Brad J. Leahy

A genius T-shirt roll holder
The Roll Keeper is based in Kelso, Washington and run by Traci, who has been crafting for over 40 years.
BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has this to say about the roller:
"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 (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!"
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors) or The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $19.99 (available in two colors).

You can fill this with up to 200 pieces of paper and free up sooo much desk space. As an accordion folder follower, I have to say these things are top notch for organizing everything from restaurant menus to ticket stubs.

An over-the-cabinet-door holder
Promising review: "I bought this for under-the-sink storage where I keep a lot of cutting boards. They were continually falling over and I couldn't find the exact one I wanted. This added much needed storage by attaching to the cabinet door." — S. Isselhardt
Baseball hat organizers
Promising review: "Loved the simple installation. You can install using the adhesive or using the molly bolts and screws. I used the adhesive since the hats are not heavy. I may order more to hang all my cross-body purses and wristlets as well. Good purchase at a good price." — Diva
A set of Shoe Slotz that lets you stack shoes on top of each other
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has a lot of good things to say about these: "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."
Promising review: "Confession time. I am a bit of a shoe fiend. These little shoe slots have allowed me to fit way more shoes in my closet shelving (yay!) AND having them organized like this keeps my shoes much nicer — since they aren't all scraping against each other. It also helps me remember which shoes I have — since they are all visible. :) The little heel stoppers pop out every so often when I am getting shoes, which is sort of annoying, but still a 5-star purchase." — MoniqueRamsey

A set of under-shelf baskets to help instantly turn one shelf into two
Just slide it on your shelf — that's how easy these are to "install."
Promising review: "These are excellent quality, sturdy and well-made. I appreciate that when slid in place, the front of the basket lines up flush with the edge of the shelf (some lesser brands protrude a bit beyond the shelf, making it impossible to close the cupboard properly). Look no further — these are the best deal you'll find." — peggydf
A foldable jewelry organizer
Promising review: "Absolutely love this! I purchased it for a week-long vacation and it kept my jewelry safe and untangled. I had stopped traveling with necklaces because they always wound up a tangled mess. No more! Bonus is that the soft pink case is beautiful. It is also very slim so it’s easy to pack or carry in your purse. Highly recommend this product! My favorite purchase in a long time!" — Petite and Pampered Boutique
And a dust-free sectioned tray
Promising review: "I love these stackable jewelry trays. They take up less space on the dresser, but organize the jewelry remarkably well.

A sturdy car organizer
Keep your frozen groceries together, your drinks upright, and your car snacks within easy reach. It has straps to keep everything secure, whether it's in your trunk or your back seat.
Promising review: "I love this trunk organizer for my SUV. I can secure it with the tie-down straps provided and they work very well. I can collapse one side of it to make it smaller if needed. Although I keep mine set up all the time, you unlatch it, fold it completely down and store it easily if necessary. This organizer is perfect for those big shopping days with family and friends. We each have our own area to put our packages so we know what to grab when we get home. It's also perfect for groceries so I can keep the cold things together, and the bottles and drinks from tipping over or sliding around in the back. This organizer is spacious, made of quality materials, and is well-made (sewn and constructed well). It's really the perfect organizer that will provide you years of use!" — ikc8460
A rust-resistant sink organizer
Promising review: "So far I really love this! It looks organized and nice on my countertop. It holds all my brushes/sponges easily and seems like really good quality. It didn't require any assembly other than just adjusting the compartments to my liking. The drain is really convenient, and I haven't noticed any leaking." — Emma
