In Declutter Your Christmas Day I said that I’d post some great storage container options that are pretty enough to sit on your table during your holiday meal, but that also are handy – i.e. have lids and can go straight to the fridge.

Grip-It Storage Jars – these are small and pretty; perfect for sitting on your table, holding small food items like olives, pourable dips, salad dressing, and nuts. Then later pop the lid on and go.

Here are some easy ways to declutter your Christmas day festivities.
1) Grab a few boxes with stay open lids – two large, one small. Decorate your boxes for the holiday with wrap, stamps, or stickers. Place by your Christmas tree.

I don’t even have any handbags, but if I did, I’d have to contact Tara Murray and beg for one of these Take Note – handbag storage and display units.

This is brilliance mixed with simplicity at work. I just love it. I wonder if Cedar and I could make something like this? Hmmm, summer project anyone?
