I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition

I 'Heart' Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

Would you agree–2020 has not exactly been a banner year for most of us? But, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate holidays and celebrate each other. In fact, all is right in the world, even just for a few minutes, when you have a new crop of Container Store Stocking Stuffers to talk about!

I’m lucky enough to live about ten minutes away from The Container Store of Paramus, NJ. Towards the middle of November, I usually take a mini field trip there to cast my eyes upon a new season of stocking stuffers–to hold them in my hand and imagine them in my home. This year, I’ll be using an abundance of caution and opting to not take my usual field trip to the store. I’ll be drooling over my keyboard instead.

Over the years, the Container Store Stocking Stuffer collection has become more fun, functional, and kitchy and less about ‘organizing.’ In my first stocking stuffer roundup post written in 2013, some of my faves included well-designed kitchen tools, colorful page markers, and a rubber ducky shower cap (for organized hair?!?). This year, I’ll be highlighting some of my current ‘faves’ and throwing it back to one from last year’s stocking stuffer post.

I’ve split up this year’s crop of stocking stuffers that I ‘heart’ most into the following categories: For Organizing, Useful, Fun and Cute, and Really?

For Organizing

OXO Good Grips Mini POP Canister $5.99

OXO POP Container Mini | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

OXO happens to be one of my favorite companies. I have praised their products many times on my blog. Plain and simple–OXO does design well. If you haven’t added an OXO POP container to your kitchen yet, I implore you to start small and try the OXO Good Grips Mini POP Canister. I could see using it as a salt cellar next to a cooktop, for storing your favorite spice mix, or as a place to store daily vitamins or medication. Opening the lid with it’s big button design is a piece of cake–easy for children, seniors, and those with arthritis or dexterity impairments. It’s too cute to not buy and try. And if you really like it and want more, they’re sold in a four pack, too.

Crayola Travel Set $4.99

Crayola Travel Set | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

If you’re a parent or someone who spends time with a child who likes to color, you know that crayons have a habit of rolling off tables, rolling under appliances, and rolling right into the crevice between a child’s car seat and your car’s seat. The Crayola Travel Set prevents all of this from happening by providing a ‘home’ for the crayons when in transit or at the site of being used (the diner, Aunt Peggy’s house, or the car). It comes with some coloring paper but once that’s used up, there’s extra room to store more crayons inside. Comes in red or blue. I don’t know if it fits in a car’s cup holder but that would be an added bonus!

Black Password Keeper $9.99

Password Keeper | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

No one ever said every stocking stuffer had to be fun, flashy, or frivolous. Sometimes we should fill a stocking with functionality. After putting the traditional orange in the toe of the stocking, consider the gift of online safety with the Black Password Keeper. It may look boring and unassuming but a password keeper (as long as you take the time to fill it with passwords) takes your passwords out of your head, off your desktop, and onto paper in an organized way and that’s one of the many reasons why it’s so fab. Yes–boring and unassuming can be fabulous, too.

Useful

Lotta Light Purse Light $14.99

Lotta Light Purse Light | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

I’m petite and I prefer to carry a small handbag. But, if you carry a large tote and are often searching your bag for what you need, consider the Lotta Light Purse Light for your handbag scuba diving needs. Useful in other small and dark spaces such as a school locker, gym bag, or tool box. Has a clip and keychain attached for versatility.

ThumbScraper Scraper Tool 2pk/$5.99

ThumbScraper Scraper Tool | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

Have you ever broken a fingernail or even worse, ruined a manicure while trying to scrape a sticky price tag off a recent purchase? If that has happened to you, you may want to check out the ThumbScraper Scraper Tool. This small tool has a thin edge that slides under adhesive and eliminates the goo so you don’t have to. The days of sacrificing a fingernail for the sake of a price tag are over! (also can be purchased separately for $2.99)

Kikkerland Precision 8-in-1 Screwdriver $7.99

Kikkerland 8-in-1 Screwdriver | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

My cousin and his wife are expecting a baby soon. I told them one of the most important gadgets to have when baby arrives is one like the Kikkerland Precision 8-in-1 Screwdriver. I am grateful we had something similar in the tool box when my kids were small. Many of their toys came with batteries and the screws that needed to be unscrewed in order to change the batteries was so small–no regular sized screwdriver was going to do the job. Perfect for new parents!

*The following Coronavirus-useful items are on the stocking stuffer list:
Poo Pourri Hand Sanitizer $4.99
HyGenie Antimicrobial Brass Touch Tool $14.99
Everyday Smart Kit $9.99
KidSmart Kit $9.99

Fun and Cute (and I May Need to Own a Few of These)

Wavy Man $10.99

Wavy Man | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

The Wavy Man is that large, goofy looking fabric tube often found waving or dancing over car dealerships and at trade shows. But, it’s not just for outdoor use! This Wavy Man stands 13″ high–perfect for your home office desk or table top. It’s silly and entertaining–just what we all need in 2020!

Potato Chip and Tortilla Chip Clips 4pk/$9.99

Potato Chip Clip | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

Unless the events of 2020 have led you to eat entire bags of chips (no judgement here…), you’ll need to use something to keep the bag closed after you’ve eaten a few. These Potato Chip Clips (shown above) and Tortilla Chip Clips are a great match for the job!

Chilly Mama Fridge Freshener $9.99

Chilly Mama Fridge Freshener | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

I keep a box of baking soda in my fridge. It’s orange. It hangs out in the back with some infrequently used condiments silently doing it’s job. But, it would be fun to open the fridge door and look beyond yesterday’s leftovers to see the Chilly Mama Fridge Freshener. Fill it with baking soda–it vents from the top and the back. You can set the dial for three months to remind you to replace with a fresh batch of baking soda.  I do wish that she had a smile on her face. I know it’s cold in there but it if there’s a little person in my fridge, I’d prefer her to be smiling at me when I open the door to grab a snack…

Kikkerland Dog Treat Selfie Clip $4.99

Kikkerland Dog Treat Selfie Clip | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

Is your Instagram feed filled with photos of your dog/cat/ ferret/household pet? Wouldn’t it be great if your furry friend would look at your phone’s camera when you wanted to snap it’s picture? Your chances of getting that shot are higher using the Kikkerland Dog Treat Selfie Clip. I don’t have a pet but I think I should stick a chicken nugget at the end of this selfie clip–then maybe my kids may actually look at the camera when I attempt to take their picture (“Not funny, Mom!” my kids would say. Insert age-appropriate eye roll here).

Really?

Drinking Straw Glasses $3.99


Kikkerland Drinking Straw Glasses | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized
I grew up in the era of Crazy Straws so I can appreciate the novelty of this but for the most part when I drank from my Crazy Straw, I could watch the liquid going around the curves–tons o’ fun! When you’re drinking and wearing the Drinking Straw Glasses you can’t easily see the liquid going around the glasses. It’s really for the entertainment of others. If the Dog Treat Selfie Clip doesn’t get your pet’s attention, maybe try these?

Bought Last Year and Enjoy!

Sombrero Taco Holders 4pk/$9.99

Sombrero Taco Holders | I ‘Heart’ Container Store Stocking Stuffers: 2020 Edition | organizedartistry.com #containerstorestockingstuffers #containerstore #stockingstuffers #holidaygifts #holidayorganizing #getorganized

Last year, I not only profiled the Sombrero Taco Holders in my Container Store Stocking Stuffer blog post–I also bought them! Taco Night is very popular in the Murray House and I thought they would be a fun and functional addition to our dinner table. After a year of use, I can honestly say that Taco Night is more colorful and less messy because of the Sombrero Taco Holders. Everyone has a place to rest their tacos for when they want to enjoy the rice, avocado, or other side dishes I serve with the meal. They work with hard shell and soft tacos and wipe clean very easily. If you and your family enjoy eating tacos at home, you may want to consider adding these to your holiday wish list.

Did any of these stocking stuffers pique your interest? Take a few moments to check these and the other stocking stuffers out on The Container Store website. You never know what you’ll find that will make you smile this year. Happy shopping and Happy Holidays!

    Oh my goodness, I love these. I think I’m definitely purchasing at least two of them to give as stocking stuffers: the wavy man for my daughter stuck at her desk and the purse light for someone else. The thumb scraper is perfect for us, isn’t it? I also love that screwdriver. So compact! It is the little things that make us happy:)

    • Stacey Agin Murray says:

      It IS the little things that make us happy! And I’m sure having a Wavy Man on their desk is going to make a lot of people happy this holiday season. How can you look at it and not smile? I hope your daughter enjoys it. I’m trying to convince myself that I *need* one… 🙂

  2. I’m a big fan too! My favorite one of the items you listed above is KIKKERLAND PRECISION 8-IN-1 SCREWDRIVER $7.99. We always need a screwdriver in our home but do not want to go down three flights of stairs to get one. So, we live screwdrivers like this one on each floor. It works great!

    • Stacey Agin Murray says:

      What a great idea to have a screwdriver on each floor of your home! Our screwdrivers live in the basement and the kitchen so we’re never too far from one if we need one. I do the same with scissors and have found it to be a timesaver and a brain-power saver.

  3. This is one of my favorite series that you do each year. I love your reviews and the fun Container Store stocking stuffer products that you find! OK. So where do I start? I bought some larger OXO cannisters this year, but I might just have to add those mini ones to my collection. So cute! And the thumbscrapers! I need those now!!! I don’t NEED the Wavy man, but he seems too fun to pass up. I might need to add one of those to my cart too. We don’t have a dog, but if I did, I would have to get one of the selfie treat clips. You made me smile.

    • Stacey Agin Murray says:

      I’m thrilled to have been able to make you smile with my writing. What writer could ask for more? Thanks for shining some love on my Stocking Stuffer post. It was a ton o’ fun to compile and I, too just may need a Wavy Man on my desk. And those mini OXO canisters…and a thumbscraper…and a really big stocking to fit them all in…

    The taco sombreros are making me crave Mexican food at 1 a.m. The Chilly Mama seems like great fun, especially at the holidays when there are so many fragrant foods in the fridge! I’d probably fiddle too much with the Wavy Man, but I can think of a handful of people for whom it would be a silly delight. Thanks for brightening the blogosphere!

    • Stacey Agin Murray says:

      I’m so glad you enjoyed this post even if it did make you hungry at 1 o’clock in the morning! So many people commented on the Wavy Man–I have a feeling that between the pandemic and the holiday season, something as silly and distracting as The Wavy Man is sure to fly off the shelves. Can’t wait to see what stocking stuffers The Container Store selects next year. Hopefully, there will be no masks or hand sanitizer on the list!
