Around the holidays, it is easy for unorganized piles of gifts and decorations to take over your house. It is time to get organized! You can use these holiday storage tips to help your entire family cut the clutter in your home.

Tip #1: Ask everyone to pitch in with the organization and cleaning.
While your kids and spouse are still at home, hand them, some dust spray, brooms, and put them to work. As you organize, make sure that you label everything, and remember – even the smallest children can get involved. Start them with an organizing routine when they are just two or three, and it should stick with them as they grow. Do not be afraid to ask your family for help organizing, especially around the holidays, and you might even want to hire some help if you are feeling especially overwhelmed.

Tip #2: Keep the bathroom organized!
This year, invest in some storage for your bathroom drawers and walls. A Mounted Hair Care Holder can help you keep curling irons and blow dryers off the countertops, and a Cosmetics Tray can keep your drawers from looking like a colorful cream and powder explosion. Plan enough time so that before you leave for the night, you can clean up the bathroom. That way, it will be organized for the next day!

Tip #3: Organize your fridge.
With Fridge Roll Out Trays that can be installed in just a few minutes, you can see what is in your fridge – even in the back. This saves you time when you are looking for a specific ingredient, and it can also save you money – no more buying duplicates or throwing out spoiled food that you forgot in the very back. You will also save energy.

Tip #4: Do not store items under the tree after Christmas.
While in the days leading up to Christmas you will probably keep your wrapped boxes under the tree, when the big day is over, do not use this as a storage location. Throw away any packaging, paper, or other trash items you missed that morning. Give every item a place in your home so that it can be put away when not in use. Otherwise, things may pile up in your living room or family room long after you take down your tree.

Tip #5: Store your ornaments in special boxes.
It is easy to become complacent and simply throw your tree ornaments together in a big box when you are taking down the tree. If you do not use special ornament storage, your tree decorations could be broken when you go to use them next year. Look for a Christmas Ornament Storage Container instead that is made up of little compartments where you can place each individual ornament to prevent it from being broken and tangled with other ornaments. Along with that, keep your lights and garland rolled nicely with a Light Reel to prevent tangling during the months it is in storage.

Some of us cook, some of us don’t, some people help, and others pretend to help. Whether you are the cook or the pretend helper in the kitchen, there are some fun new kitchen gadgets any host will love.

Peeling potatoes is never a fun task. In fact when my mom spends hours cooking, of all things, peeling potatoes is her least favorite activity on her to do list. Usually I tell her that I will start a potato peeling business and peel everyone’s potatoes for them. But now there is a product called the Rotato Express which has made my potato peeling business not as necessary. The Rotato Express is a kitchen gadget that automatically peels the potato (or fruit) skin off in an easy motion. So while the Rotato Express peels the potatoes, the cook can check other things off the cooking to do list.

While my mom needs the Rotato Express to peel her potatoes, other cooks (like myself) need a gadget to help clean up the mess after peeling other vegetables. The No Mess Veggie Peeler is the cool new kitchen gadget for us. It peels vegetables, and the shavings go right into a chamber attached to the No Mess Veggie Peeler. So we do not need to worry about peeling over the sink, or trash can, or clogging the drain with the shavings.

The last new gadget is for the host of all ages. Everyone on your gift list will love the new Fizz Saver. The Fizz Saver will keep all carbonated drinks from loosing carbonation after each time the bottle is opened. So unless you or your guests like drinking flat soda, the Fizz Saver keeps soda carbonated until the bottle is empty.

So now, you don’t need to worry about what to get for the cooking enthusiast this year for the holidays. Or perhaps, buy yourself the kitchen tool that will help alleviate the worst part of preparing a holiday meal for you!

Have you seen this new product? It is a hot pink keyboard called Keyboard for Blondes. The keyboard looks like a typical computer keyboard, however, take a closer look.

You’ll notice that some of they keys are different than what we are used to seeing. The backspace button no longer erases the typo, but has become an “Ooops!” button. There is even an XOXO key and an IDK (I Don’t Know) key. Not only is there a “Useless Key” which was once the Alt key, but the row of function keys spells out “USELESS”. The most exciting feature about the Keyboard for Blondes is that it will speak when some keys are pressed.

The slogan for the hot pink Keyboard for Blondes is “A very important and glamorous thing to have,” I just think it is fun. What do you think?

If you like the Keyboard for Blondes, and you are interested in other different types of keyboards for yourself or for people in your life, check out the Oversized Keyboard. The Oversized Letter Keyboard looks just like a regular computer keyboard, but with larger letters to help those with vision problems.

Think about the answer you get when you ask children (yours or someone else’s), “What do you want for the holidays?” Some kids want toys, others want money, and some want both! If you’re like me, you want to give the best gifts to everyone on your list, including the children who want toys and money. So I came up with a few great ways of spoiling the kids who want it all and actually giving them everything they want; all-in-one toy and money gifts!

This Pinball Money Maze is the exemplary all-in-one gift we are talking about here. It’s a pinball game that can be played with but also holds the money or gift card to his or her favorite store.

If the child you’re purchasing a gift for is a bit of a thinker, and likes to solve puzzles, the One Million Dollar Cash Puzzle is the perfect gift! The only way to get the money is to figure out the puzzle. The One Million Dollar Cash Puzzle will be fun for everyone!

If you are giving a DVD or a video instead of money, the Movie Maze Gift Holder will be a fun way to watch the child try to get the gift out. The child has to solve the puzzle in order to watch the movie gift inside.

Try putting a gift card or money into the Green Bilz Box for the interactive child on your list. Green Bilz is a game puzzle, and the ball has to make it through the puzzle in order for the money or gift card to become accessible.

The Cash Shirt is not a game in itself, but it is still a fun and different way to give any child some cash for the holidays. You just fold the money and use the Cash Shirt to present the money. Who knows? Maybe the recipient will like it so much that he or she will save the money from the cash shirt…maybe.

And for the child that hates taking a shower or bath, you can entice them with the Money Soap. The money is inside the Money Soap, but the only way to get to it, is to actually use the soap.

Shaving, in general, is not the most exciting thing we do during the day. Some people hate it, others do not mind so much, but I think I can safely say that none of us like it when our razor cuts us. The Smooth Away will eliminate the razor aspect of shaving, and therefore eliminates the cuts by the razor.

The Smooth Away keeps “shaving” simple and easy. In the winter it’s difficult to get motivated to shave because we are always all covered up anyway, and in the summer we shave so frequently it becomes a chore – these problems are resolved now that the Smooth Away option is here. Smooth Away keeps skin smooth, while gently and painlessly removing hair.

Hate the feeling of getting your top lip waxed? Do it yourself now at home, without the wax and pain with the Smooth Away. The Smooth Away is safe to use to remove the hair for your top lip as well. A great and simple solution to the pains of waxing and shaving is the Smooth Away.
