If you're a self-admitted coffee addict, then you know the power of having a really, really, really tall insulated tumbler to take with you on a long commute. A traffic jam is less worrisome when you have 32 ounces of good-quality Joe to keep you company. It's a different story, however, when it comes time to put that tall mug in your average-sized kitchen cupboard. Very often, the traits that make the mugs ideal for commuting –- being extra tall -– make them a nightmare for kitchen storage. Many are too tall and bulky for the cupboard. Fortunately, Amazon has a hack for that: the SUBEKYU Store Magnetic Dryer Sheet Holder.

So, how could a square dryer sheet holder with a slit up the front be great for tumbler storage? That's part of the genius of the design. The dry sheet box is 4 ⅘ inches wide and a little over 3 inches deep. The base of many travel mugs typically measures 2¾ inches or less across, while most car cup holders range from 2 ½ inches to 3 ½ inches across. Hence, the bottom of most travel mugs should slide into the magnetic dryer sheet organizer. If you position the mug so that the handle juts out of the holder's front slit, the mug should stay in place. 

Finally, the back of the organizer is magnetic. When used as originally intended, this piece adheres to the side of your dryer. The dryer sheets stick out of the front slot, a little like facial tissues do in a box of Kleenex. When you hang the magnetic box on the side of the fridge, it becomes a mug holder that keeps your kitchen cabinets tidy and clutter-free.

Certainly, there are pros and cons to using this item as a tumbler holder. For one thing, some travel coffee mugs aren't going to fit into it. They'll just be too bulky for the 3 3/10-inch deep base. This means you need to be strategic about which mugs you put into the dryer sheet holders and which ones you store somewhere else.

The specialty mugs are also going to be tall, possibly towering over the top of the Amazon dryer sheet holder. This issue can be mitigated a bit if you put an item like a Shalala Magnetic Fridge Clip on the side of the metal box. Store the mug's removable straw in the clip for safekeeping, or slide it inside the box next to the mug if you're sans magnetic clip, and you'll reduce the height of the setup. As a result, you could style the side of your fridge with more magnetic shelves. 

Finally, the metal dryer sheet holder only comes in two colors: white or black. If you're concerned about them clashing with your decor, consider painting them. Many all-in-one paint-and-primers on the market come in a wide variety of colors, including vibrant ones, like aqua blues and butter yellows. These color options allow you to make the dryer sheet holder more kitchen-decor-friendly with very little effort. Then again, you can also opt for clear dryer sheet holders for a minimalist look that blends with everything.
