Great Gift Ideas for the Disorganized People on Your List (2024)

Do you know someone who is always missing their keys, misplacing their phone, can’t seem to find the remote control, is always late, and never seems to be prepared for any occasion or activity? Perhaps it’s time to give them the gift that keeps on giving this year: the gift of organization.

While you don’t want to go overboard and simply hand them storage containers, you can dress up some organizing components to appear like a simple gift — one that will also help them live a more organized life. Here are some suggestions to get you started on such a mission.

A Monthly Planner

New year, new goals. Help them stay on task in 2023 with a new monthly planner. They all do the same thing, so shop based on price but don’t overlook design, either. They’ll be looking at it for a whole year. The good news is that there are tons of great ones to choose from, so you are almost certain to find one that will suit their taste.

A Purse Organizer

A handbag organizer is the ideal gift for that friend who is constantly digging through her bag for misplaced items. This one is available in three sizes and 27 colors to match a variety of handbags, and each organizer contains 13 compartments, including two large zip pockets. For the price, you might even consider gifting all three sizes, which your gift recipient can use to organize various handbags or even drawers.

Desktop Organizer

Personalization makes anything feel more like a gift rather than a mundane piece of organization, which is why I love Shutterfly’s Rustic Farmhouse Desk Caddy. It features three photo spaces and allows you to add the recipient’s name. Shutterfly also offers various additional configurations so you can create something really unique and memorable.

Pegboards

Pegboards are one of those organizational tools that can be used all over the home to help corral clutter, make use of wasted vertical space and to just keep things tidier. I love this one because it is as stylish as it is useful, and a lot less utilitarian than many other options.

Big Wicker Baskets

Large, sturdy wicker baskets are great for helping someone get organized. They can go by the entryway to catch shoes, umbrellas, coats, and bags, help store pillows and blankets in the family room, or be used to hold pet or kid toys. A nice big basket would be a welcome gift, and you can even stuff it with something fun like holiday pillows or a nice throw blanket.

Multi Device Charging Stations

This affordable charging station will be welcomed by anyone with more than one device to charge (so pretty much everyone). It comes in a lovely, neutral bamboo that matches any decor style and has places for a tablet, phones, and three other devices to sit and charge while concealing the cords and effectively ending tangled cord clutter while also preventing device misplacement.

Expandable Dish Rack

Piled up dishes happen to the best of us. This expandable dish rack adjusts to suit all dish drying needs without taking up too much counter space. Plus you don’t have to wipe it down after it’s done its job because it has a spigot that drains right into the sink. Time-saving, stylish and space-saving — now that’s a great gift.

Magnetic Knife Strip

A magnetic strip is perfect to hold knives and other metal kitchen utensils and get them out of that jumbled drawer. It can also work wonders to hold and organize tools on a workbench. Likewise, it can also help organize art supplies. It’s also unique enough to pass for a gift and not just an organizational tool, plus this one is shiny and pretty.

Magnetic Wrist Band

Another cool gift idea along the same lines is this magnetic wrist band. A magnetic wristband is like a third hand during any DIY project. This one has 10 strong magnets that corral things like screws, nails, bolts, and drill bits, making home improvement that much easier.

Wire Stacking Baskets

An excellent choice for counter or pantry organization in the kitchen, these stacking baskets are also cute and therefore look perfectly gift-worthy. They come in two different sizes and finishes and, while bought as a two pack, for the low price you can gift more than one set for extra organizational help.

Bluetooth Tracking Devices

Lost keys, missing wallet, hidden remote — now you can help that friend who is constantly looking for stuff to keep track of it all. This two-pack of Tile Bluetooth trackers works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa and has a phone app to help ping and track missing items. A welcome gift for anyone that is constantly misplacing important things.
