Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it.Vacuum bags for clothes storage. Never used them . Sounded like a great idea .
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?Children's toys: Too many. Too much. Not even sure what there is anymore. All toy bins are full. I want to display them so it’s easier to see, play with & put it away.

Pictures: I have not gotten around to putting them in photo albums or scrapbooking them .

Fabric: I started quilting as a hobby prior to pandemic .I was taking a free class at our local library. I have quite a bit of fabric but haven’t gotten to make 1 block in over a year ☹️ I tried YT on my own but lost my mojo. Now I’m not sure how to store it so it’s accessible & project ready . I do want to start again.

Adult children’s clothes: Why is it here?! They will never be in 1st grade again or 12th grade for that matter & I have no grandchildren to pass it on to.

Gardening supplies: I have to garden off site . So I haven’t figured out how to put my gardening seeds & supplies in an easily accessible , organized manner. Just all thrown in 1 bin.
What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff.My husband covered a shipping box with wrapping paper to throw stuff in. It’s junk but I guess at least it looks clean .
