The Versatile Dollar Tree Find That Keeps Nightstands Organized

The average nightstand is usually just a couple of feet wide, but since they are notorious for becoming catchalls and junk drawers, these small pieces of furniture can often be asked to do the work of a space several times larger than that. If your nightstand has become a dumping ground for everything from phone chargers and ear buds to books and lip balm, you might be looking for a few new ways to get organized. Luckily, there's a versatile Dollar Tree solution on TikTok that uses a hardware storage case to declutter your chaotic nightstand for better sleep by bringing some order to the whirlwind that's been reigning beside your bed.

In a video describing creative ways to organize with Dollar Tree's 9x6-inch Hardware Storage Cases with Compartments, TikTok creator @thecraftedstudioco describes how she uses these handy organizers in unique ways, including as a way to organize all of the cords, chargers, jewelry, and hair ties that end up at your bedside at the end of the day. These cases are designed for hardware, so you'll find them in the hardware aisle if you're shopping in one of Dollar Tree's stores, priced at $1.50 each. If you're feeling ambitious about organizing, you can also order them online for $24.00 per pack of 16, which includes free in-store pickup.

We've discovered a variety of creative Dollar Tree nightstand ideas, and this is one of our favorites for decluttering. More than just helping you organize, Dollar Tree's clear plastic hardware cases make it easy to see what's inside. The lid latches tightly so you don't have to worry about everything spilling. Because this hardware case has a low profile at just under two inches, it will fit in most nightstand drawers. Incidentally, book lovers can appreciate that this case is the same size as a standard 6x9-inch paperback, so you could even include it with a stack of books on top of your nightstand.

If you like this nightstand organization idea, consider putting one in every bedroom in the house. Children can use them for retainers, small toys, lip balm, or other important objects. You could also pre-load one with travel essentials like phone chargers, earplugs, pain relievers, and other essentials you need for guest rooms to add a special hotel-like touch that makes visitors feel welcome during their stay. And, if you have college age students, the stackable design makes these hardware cases perfect for dorm room nightstand organization. So, grab a few of these for your nightstand, separate them into categories like tech, health, and beauty products, and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.
