I have some gift cards to the Container Store. I kind of want to buy everything.
Is there anything you love or recommend?

I love their gift wrap. Probably not what you were looking for. 😃

I love all the flashlights, cord keepers and other goodies in those bins by the register.
They have so much stuff that I didn't know I needed!

Umbra, Umbra and Umbra...lol. I love the little knick knacks that company makes and every thing else too. Is there anything you need for the house? New bathroom storage, new closet  . I recently picked up their clear shelf dividers and I am loving them. They now have these plastic baskets that I bought to store garlic/onions/potatoes. The baskets have a weave pattern with enough holes so figured I can use it for storage. |

I have that same problem at Container Store, I want everything.
I love Eagle Creek packing cubes. Love their Christmas wrapping paper. Honestly, I would hold on to my gift cards until then, but that's just me. I have the bungee office chairs in my shared home office, blue for DS and lime green for me. DS sits in his a lot more than I sit in mine and he says it's the best office chair ever.
I have and could recommend a lot more from them, but I would be linking all night. If you are thinking about anything in particular, let me know and if I can give you a review I will.

The Container Store is my Mecca.
I think your best bet (unless they're ginormous gift cards) is to pick a room/area of a room to focus on. That way you won't get waylaid by all the other pretties. It helps me to go online beforehand and add things that catch my eye to my shopping cart.. Then I pull it up on my phone when I'm in the store. Have fun!

I love that store. My first trip was to buy the system that hangs on a pantry door and you can put different size baskets on. I keep all my spices in there. Open the door and can see everything. Just walking through that store puts me in the mood to organize!!!

My goal is to secretly transfer the Container store into my home. Thankfully the store is over an hour away in Denver, so I don't get there often. I have bits and pieces of each department in my house. I love the organization items for my scrap room. I don't always use the items for what they are marketed for- the nail polish holder is great for holding 40 Nuvo drops. I just like to go in and imagine how to repurpose items- the shoe rack made a great Clip it Up until I found a Clip it Up.

I don't have one close but I bought collapsible crates for my van when we were at the one in Little Rock a few years ago. I've had other brands of those crates but the Container Store ones are holding up better than any others.

I seriously love The Container Store. It's my crack.
I love these clear boxes. ETA The link did not work, just search "Clear Medium Stackable Rectangular Storage with Lid". The lids do not fasten tightly, however. They do have another hinged style box that do close tightly. I like those as well.
I use them to corral everything - extra makeup, marbles & dice, markers, scrapbook embellishments, small tools...

Multipurpose bins are most favorite thing ever from the CS... and pretty affordable for the quality and usefulness. I have our freezer full of meat organized with them and all of my scrapbooking paper and current projects live in them too. The S, M, L are the perfect width for 12x12 paper and are just tall enough to support it all but still let you flip through it. I also have several sizes of these tubs for organizing and storing books & toys in the playroom. And these are the best reusable shopping totes I have ever used. My CS had fun patterned ones . They hold a ton, stay open to fill, and fold down flat in the car. I always get comments from the cashiers at target about how much they love them. I use them to gather up stuff to take from the house to the car for errands too.

I remodeled my closet last fall, and I was able to get amazing inserts for my drawers to organize jewelry. Boxes for my watches, ring holders, earrings, whatever I want!
