Organizing Gifts of the Week

Have we moved on from leisurely online shopping to crowd fighting and 10% off coupons? Here are a few ideas for some loved ones on your list. They go beyond stocking stuffer stage, just in case you're fumbling for a knockout gift to put under the tree.

For the woman you love: Here's a perfect way to present that perfect piece of bling: A photo frame jewelry armoire. Fill the photo frames with special moments in your history and she'll think, how sweet! When she opens the door to find a nice sparkly surprise and freaks out, you've done your job. (http://www.shopgetorganized.com/, $59.98) As a bonus, after the holidays, no more tangled chains and AWOL earrings. Her jewels will be safe and organized, hiding behind all those smiling faces.

For the commuter: Help manage the landfill that amasses in the car amidst conference calls, coffee on the road and sales visits. This back seat organizer harnesses the paperwork and keeps convenient all the things a commuter could need to reach with one hand (http://www.organize.com/, $13). For a smaller but powerful help, try the Commutemate cell cup. It keeps the stuff you need the most from rattling around when you need it (http://www.shopgetorganized.com/, $9.98).

For the crafter: New scrapbookers are famous for hauling their scraps and miscellaneous from spot to spot -- and it makes a hot mess when the ric-rac scissors start flying. Help your crafty soul make sense of borders and stickers and photos with the Scrap'n Roll. It keeps all the supplies safe between sessions and keeps work in progress from getting trashed before it's a masterpiece (http://www.organize.com/, $119).

For the frazzled housefrau: Make the schedule go a little smoother and remind her that she's still a hot mama with the Mary Jane Leather Planner. This shiny gem has "organized" written all over it -- and in it, with special notepads and planning sections. She'll never let it out of her sight, guaranteed. (http://www.organize.com/, 159.99)
