Hi, I'm Lorie Marrero and I'm coming to you today from the floor at The Container Store. I'm in the kitchen department to show you today's [POP] Clutter Video Tip, which is my favorite kitchen products that you can't find really anywhere else. I have the first one to show you -- this looks like a normal double-decker turntable, but what's unusual about it is that the top level actually splits and you can have [POP] tall things here, shorter things here, and really maximize that vertical space in your cabinet. So love turntables. And you can get here one of the largest turntables I have ever seen [POP], and it's fantastic for those deep, dark corner cabinets where you can't reach things in the back very easily and you don't have already a built-in lazy susan, you just plop this right in, you can put this under your sink as well, any other deep dark cabinet area, and you can even use this for indoor plants or something like that too; so, very useful and unusual. [POP]

These are vertical sorters. Now, these come in all different shapes and sizes. I have a wood one and a metal one here to show you, but they are taller, shorter, wider, all kinds of variations. And they're great for anything you need to store vertically like cookie sheets or trays or even in an office environment, maybe you have envelopes that you want to separate out. So, these are a great solution, too.

Next we have the Magnetic Knife Holder. Now, it says "knife holder," but you actually can use this in a lot of different places. So you mount it on the wall and then you can use it in the [POP] workbench area in the garage for tools. You can also use it in a craft room for craft supplies, metal cutting tools, and scissors and things like that. But it's a very utilitarian thing. You just put it up there and slap whatever metal thing you want onto it and it will hold it very tight. [POP]

And lastly we have the Lid Maid. Now, I've never seen this anywhere else. I love putting these into kitchen cabinets to hold the lids to pots and pans. And you may have seen this in my other Clutter Video Tip about organizing pots and pans. [POP] It slides in and out of your cabinet and holds all the pot lids up vertically, just like we were talking about, and, you know, it's really great because of the sliding in and out feature, you can reach things easily and installs very quickly as well.

So, I hope you like these product selections today. And if you want some more great tips you can go to our free tips page at clutterdiet.com/freetips.

See you next time, and may you always be happy and grateful for having more than enough.

Thanks so much for taking the time to show us your favorite products - and from the floor of the Container Store no less! Certainly see a lot of versatility in the products shown in accommodating different sizes. If you had one favorite product from the Container Store - what would it be?

Thank you for asking! My all time favorite Container Store product is the Simple Division Garment Organizers seen in the Clutter Video Tip: Favorite Organizing Products for Clothing. Watch the video and I think you'll see why I like them so much. ;)

The pin I am wearing is the Goodwill logo, what we call the "Smiling G." In some of these videos I did a popup to show it larger... Thanks for asking!

Best idea is the magnetic organizer.

You had me when you wrote that your outfit was from Goodwill! I hit subscribe straight away. I am going to the GW tomorrow to look for a little lamp for my newly organized laundry room:-)

Ikea carries a nice pot holder that hangs on the wall next to your pot rack.

I have one magnetic knife holder for knives and one that i use to hold my tea containers. They look beautiful lined up on the wall and not on my counter!

Thanks, Lori! Our group of 6, sometimes 8, has been looking for a really large turntable that we can use when we get together to play cards. Didn't think to go to an organizing store!
