Before last month, I had never shopped at The Container Store. I don't know why, because there are a few areas in my home where I've been living in organizational overwhelm. I even reached out to a few professional organizers to understand their approach to get quotes.
I'm glad I haven't hired one yet, because even with a few minor changes, I already feel significantly better about how things are coming together. Not everything is perfect, but these seven products from The Container Store have certainly helped to make my home feel cleaner and more organized.
With the holidays around the corner, these are my top gift picks for the home cooks, bakers, and beautifully Type-A people in your life. Prices range from $5.49 to $74.99, with three excellent options under $10.
Whether you're shopping for someone who loves to entertain, someone whose kitchen cabinets are bursting at the seams, or someone who gets genuine joy from a perfectly organized space, these are the gifts that'll make you look like a thoughtful and practical gifting hero.
Commercial Roll-Out Drawers
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
The Commercial Roll-Out Drawers are one of the pricier items on this list, but I mean this when I say it made me feel like I had a mini kitchen renovation. I have pipes running through our deep lower cabinets, which makes storage less than ideal. I was constantly digging around, pulling everything out to get to the one thing I actually needed, and inevitably, items were falling out, creating chaos.
This commercial-grade drawer allowed me to organize all my pots and a large set of stainless steel bowls—the items I use daily—so they're right at my fingertips. No more spelunking! The lids and pans now fit neatly on a small shelf right above, and my baking trays, which were an utter disaster in that same cabinet, have moved out entirely thanks to the following item on my list. The cherry on top? It was surprisingly easy to install.
Chrome Roll-Out Bakeware Organizer
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
The Chrome Roll-Out Bakeware Organizer product makes me unreasonably happy, and if you or someone you love struggles with disorganized bakeware, this is the product to get.
My sheet pans and baking trays frequently toppled over and fell out when I opened the cabinet. They were layered together in that same, deep cabinet on a shelf, creating an avalanche situation every time I needed to grab one. Tucked individually into this rolling rack, they glide in and out of the cupboard freely, and I can easily grab what I need and put it back without disturbing anything else. I feel pure joy as I slide this organizer out now. It feels life-changing!
Double Drawer Wire Pull-Out Cabinet Organizer
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
I have the same pipe problem under my kitchen sink. Thankfully, this Wire Pull-Out Cabinet Organizer helps keep my essentials neatly in one place while maximizing vertical space. It might not be flashy, but for gift-giving, it's perfect for someone who'd love to organize cleaning supplies, dish soap, sponges, and all those random things that accumulate under the sink.
Everything Organizer 2-Drawer Cabinet Organizer
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
The Everything Organizer Two-Drawer Cabinet Organizer is currently sitting in my kitchen cupboard holding snacks and breakfast items, and I love how sleek it is. It's the perfect gift for the person who loves scrolling through TikTok for organizational videos. (Guilty!) It's given my kids more independence, since they can now grab items for their lunches and favorite high-protein breakfast oats without me having to help.
But the utility of this piece is just endless. It would be a star in a bathroom cabinet, organizing small clothing items like belts or ties in a closet, holding makeup and skincare items on a vanity, or even keeping craft supplies and hair accessories neat in kids' rooms.
Progressive ProKeeper+ Baker's Storage Set
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
The Progressive ProKeeper+ Baker's Storage Set is one of the most thoughtfully designed baking sets I've come across. They were clearly designed with the baker in mind. They feature airtight, snap lids, but it's the individual items built into the design that make them feel genius.
For example, the brown sugar canister has a built-in brown sugar keeper to keep sugar moist, the flour canister has a scraper attached that can be used when spooning and measuring flour, and the powdered sugar canister has a perforated, round spoon (almost like a tea ball steeper) for sprinkling sugar over top of sweets.
The most brilliant part? The scraper and the spoon are magnetized and stick to the inside of the lid, so they're right there when I need them. If you're looking for individual pieces or something a little less expensive, the Everything Organizer Airtight Canisters are a great swap.
Everything Organizer Stackable Open-Front Bins
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
The Everything Organizer Stackable Open-Front Bins stack like a dream–I've even moved them around while fully stacked without any issues. They're made of durable, clear plastic that feels fiercely high-quality. I've been using them to store non-perishable foods I use regularly and backup supplies of some of my favorite items, so I don't have to trek down to the basement pantry every time I need them.
Things like chili crisp, Diamond Crystal's new flavored salts, olives for dirty gin martinis (the best, by the way), and my homemade dukkah. The open front makes items easy to access, and because they're part of the Everything Organizer line, they stack with other pieces to create a custom system.
Plastic Storage Bins With Handles
Simply Recipes / The Container Store
I ended up getting a full set of Plastic Storage Bins With Handles, and I couldn't be happier. The material is smooth and sturdy, and they come in a variety of tasteful, matte colors. They're one of my favorite products because they've allowed me to reorganize my entire basement pantry and give it a significant facelift.
Now everything looks sleek and color-coordinated, and I have designated bins for things like canned goods, pasta, ready-to-eat items, oils and vinegars, sauces, and more. I put removable, clip-on labels on the front so it's easy to find what's inside. If you want a gift that's the definition of organized calm, these bins are the foundational piece to start with. They're affordable, pretty, and the ultimate way to tackle bulk storage.
