Life saver! This little piece of plastic is going to make your life so much easier. Specifically, it will shave at least 10 minutes off your surface cleaning chores and more if your the type of person who is constantly misplacing your electronic power chargers. If you are making the little crazy circle with your index finger next to your temple, keep reading!

This cute little gizmo is actually a special miniature shelf. It was designed to hold a cell phone while charging. But, as I've discovered it will also hold Nintendo DS or a small digital camera! This means next time you are cleaning the tops of counters, tables or dressers you will not waste time moving these items or cords first. My preference is to keep them out of sight in the first place, so we tend to keep ours plugged in low on the wall.
I first purchased these over a year ago at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $6 each and put them in everyone's Christmas stocking. Now I suggest them to friends and clients when I see issues with cord clutter. Kids love them because they come in colors. Adults love anything that keeps them organized. They are also available at Amazon.com for $6-$8 and uxsight.com for $1.19 if you're not picky about the color!

I might just buy the first stocking stuffers of 2010 today! Thank you for sharing this great tip with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using this for things other than cell phones. I have seen this before but for some reason, never thought to use it to wrangle DS, camera and iPod nano cords. They are taking over our house - what a great way to wrangle them in!
ReplyDeletei am not making the crazy sign but the head thunk......."where have i been" and "why don't i ever think of those things?"

ReplyDeleteThank you for all the comments.
This is a fabulous gift and so clever.So glad I stopped in for a visit, enjoyed the post on Donna Temple Brown as well. Fun Friday.
ReplyDeleteI made one of these with a contoured dish soap bottle. I just drew the curved top and cut it out with an exacto knife. So, when I'm not using the charger, I keep it in the holder in the drawer underneath the plug.
