You remember the Paul Simon song “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”? Well, I’ve changed it slightly.
“The problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be ONE HUNDRED ways
To leave your CLUTTER.”
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free

Its all been written before from amazing and marvellous organising experts on how to reduce clutter from your lives. I’ve still got a long way to go but I still needed assistance with organising a few of those every day items. This is where Howards Storage World come in. Back in August I attended the launch of their 2013 catalogue and we all received a $100 gift card to use in their store. My heart starts to palpitate when I think about spending it on any of the lovely organising solutions they have in store but I wanted to make sure I was spending it on things I really needed to help me get more organised.
I finally had a free day to just browse so with list in hand, this is what I got.

Howards Storage World has heaps of reasonably priced, practical gift solutions for Christmas or any time of year. Most of the things I got are boxed so make excellent gifts to wrap. I’m so glad I held off and got what I really needed. I’ve got to go back and get what I want now. Check out the cute online gift finder.

I LOVE the cleaning station for above the sink only boo hoo I have no tile, it goes straight to a window 🙁 Seriously, does that soap dispenser foam up any soap??? Love Howards, just keep me away cos I could overspend VERY easily 😀
Anne, you made some top notch choices, how fun to have $100 to spend to organize! I love the post, too, great music and so creative of you!
What a great haul you got there! We need a big clean out an organise here too…i love that shop but i can get carried away there 😉
Anne, thanks for putting a smile on my face…LOVE the new song! You should contact Paul and tell him he has a new song writer! 😉
On a serious note, great job getting a head start of decluttering/organizing. You found some great gadgets! You've inspired me once again! 😀

I'm in the process of gathering useful organising tools to get myself sorted. So far the best things I have found are a hanging handbag storage system, a hanging jewellery storage system and the Hickson Hangers that I manage to get 8 items of clothing on. Also looking for more fabulous things to help me escape my clutter!
