If anything, we learned this past year that being with friends and family IS important. And maybe materialistic presents aren’t that valuable. Throw in supply chain and shipping issues, and creative gifting is sounding real tempting. Here are some ideas on how to really share good tidings after a crazy 2021:
There are many nonprofits that offer gifts that give, like these adorable stuffed animal baskets from the World Wildlife Federation. Or turtle coasters that benefit Positive Legacy. Or chandelier earrings from The Metropolitan Museum of Art . Give a gift that pays it forward. Tip: During this holiday, don’t order anything unless it says “in stock”. And check the shipping time.
Or check out holiday decorations in your nearby city or town, by foot. If you didn’t learn during the height of the pandemic that walking is good for stress and your soul, it’s not too late. You can even refer to this activity with a fancy name, “flaneuring”. This French-derived word, means to leisurely ramble and soak up the beauty in those details we otherwise overlook. Leave your phone home, or on “Do Not Disturb” (you’re only bringing it to take pictures, correct?).
This holiday season will hopefully be different than last (Omicron, please go away). So MAKE it different. Give the gifts that won’t create clutter. Offer up more to those you care about, those you don’t know, and also to yourself. Spend time with the people you love but be sure to remember to take time for yourself to decompress every once in a while too.

College is back in session and students everywhere are busy creating their dream dorm rooms. Living in a dormitory means that you have the ultimate benefit of being close to your classes while still enjoying the independence that comes from being on your own. On the other hand, it might also mean having to scale back on your belongings. While you might be eager to start decorating with your favorite wall art and brand-new comforter, the truth is that you need to spend some time getting organized. These dorm room organization ideas, along with our expert advice on hausarbeit schreiben lassen, will have you ready to start your year with a clutter-free space that shows off your sense of style.
In most dorms, the bed and desk will take up the bulk of the floor space, but you can bet there will still be plenty of room on the walls. Over-the-door shoe holders are great for storing your favorite footwear, and they can also double for storing other objects.
You can use these to hold accessories, toiletries and other small items that might not fit in your available drawers. If you have a bathroom and closet attached to your room, this gives you three doors to fill with your belongings.
First, check to see if you can lift your bed. Bed risers fit underneath the feet of the frame, and they can lift it up by quite a few inches. Once your bed is lifted, you can then measure the space to figure out which storage containers will fill it in while maximizing every inch. Depending upon your bed’s height, you might even be able to place containers with drawers that help you to add an extra layer of organization to your room plan.
If you can’t lift your bed, then most types of frames still sit a couple of inches off the floor. This makes it possible to use under-the-bed containers that may lack height but are relatively wide. These are great places to stash things like sweaters or hoodies that you might only need on cold weather days but take up way too much space in your closet.
One area that often gets forgotten is the windowsill. However, you’ve got such a small space to work with that it’s truly a shame if you don’t take advantage of these little spaces. You can set a lamp on the windowsill, along with a mini wicker basket. This is the perfect place to store a few books or other items that you need to have convenient access to!
Taking the time to put together organized drawers will save you so much room in the long run. Using acrylic bins is a great way to turn this idea into a reality! You’ll have a specific place for everything, which is the best way to keep your space clean. Make time at least once a week to tidy up your room so that you can ensure the space stays clean.
Drawers are ideal for dealing with dorm room storage. They keep everything out of your way, but they don’t take up a ton of space. In fact, if you need to, you can even get separate storage cubes and stack them all up. Either way, using several drawers is a fantastic way to store everything.
The most annoying thing about jewelry is trying to store it properly. After all, jewelry can easily become tangled. You can save yourself from this type of problem by hanging all your jewelry up, though. Hanging your jewelry will also introduce some color into your dorm room, which is a fantastic touch if you don’t have much artwork.
Learning how to organize a dorm room also requires exploring a few hacks that take keeping things straight to an even higher level. In fact, you might soon find yourself thinking about how just about any container might work for an organizer. For instance, magazine holders have slim shapes and come in cute colors that you can use to keep your and your roommate’s notebooks separate, but they can also hold hair styling tools or video games.
This group of capable, professional, and dedicated women were essential on both ends of our move. They turned a formidable endeavor into a well organized and detailed adventure, greatly reducing the anxiety associated with moving.
