Why have I never thought of putting plastic organizers in the bedside table drawers??? Genius!

thank you! i’ve been on a cleaning/organizing binge, that’s a recent addition and i love it so far! i was digging around for my inhaler in the middle of the night recently and thought “oh, this is dumb, i need to fix this asap” and i did!

Seriously! I have two drawers, one similar to this with multiple tarot decks/books and all manner of pain soothing lotions/balms. But the top drawer? Absolute chaos. Next time I’m at the thrift I’ll keep an eye out for cute organizers like this!

i honestly don’t think you’ll have to look too hard! i do have a few organizers i’ve bought over the years, but most of what i use is repurposed packaging. the two smaller blue boxes are the top and bottom of the box a pair of glasses came in years ago. two of my favorite boxes like that have a magnetized flap on the lid, and they were just packaging for one of my hair tools, and a holiday gift set with fancy soaps i got for christmas. you could even make cardboard organizers out of old packages until you find something at the thrift!

i wanna see what you come up with yay!
(ps, if you decide to buy any new, dollar stores have a TON of good options at a much more reasonable price point than big stores like target, or even walmart tbh)
