Products to help keep things orderly
TIE ONE ON
Scarves add a splash of colour to any outfit, but rather than stuff them away in a cupboard, display them in an orderly fashion with the Umbra Little Black Dress Scarf Organizer. We found it for $19.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
Organize your socks and underwear drawer with spring-loaded plastic dividers. The Dream Drawer Organizer sells for $19.99 at Solutions in the Ottawa Train Yards.
WIND IT UP
No more tripping on extension cords in the garage with the Cord Winder from Lee Valley Tools, 900 Morrison Dr. The steel basket holds up to 150 feet of cord. To unwind — without the cord knotting or tangling — simply turn the hand crank or pull the cord. Pick one up for your handyman for $23.50.
STOW ’ N STORE
Extra blankets and pillows are within easy reach when snuggling together on the Sonora Custom Storage Sofa. Upholstered in shimmery grey fabric, the sofa is both stylish and functional. Find it for $1,691 at Urban Barn, 22 York St.

STANDING TALL
No more leaning over to water your blooms with the Standing Planter, $56.50 from Lee Valley Tools, 900 Morrison Dr. Made of durable, UV-resistant polypropylene, it stands 86 centimetres tall and has removable legs for off-season storage.
TWO IN ONE
