How are the holidays sneaking up so fast? Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas will be here before you know it, and I’m using this precious (albeit, fleeting) time to get my home in tip-top shape before I host holiday gatherings. A key part of my strategy? Organizing and decluttering my home — especially the kitchen. And luckily HomeGoods is the one-stop shop for everything I need.

I’m making a list and checking it twice for the best organizers around, like this gorgeous lazy Susan for my cabinets, and this ingenious stackable bin for my shelves. There’s one, though, that’s sitting pretty at the top of my list: a Wolfgang Puck tiered corner shelf from HomeGoods that’s just $5! 

You can spot this beauty 55 seconds into this TikTok posted by creator Melany Salvador — it’s a three-tiered corner shelf that perfectly organizes larger spice containers in her lazy Susan cabinet. It has a non-slip grippy lining so everything you need stays put, and allows you to see and reach things in the back of your cabinet without having to clear everything out from in front of it.

This gem, which is similar to this version from Miles Kimball, is the latest apple of my organization eye because it utilizes some vertical space and reduces clutter while making cabinet essentials more accessible. I can see it being the MVP of my cabinets as I’m in the thick of cooking or baking and need seasoning in a snap. Say goodbye to aimlessly rummaging through cabinets for the garlic powder and a big hello to a tidy, functional space!

Another spot where this amazing find shines? It’s a secret magic trick for fridge organization. Use it to effortlessly organize jarred and bottled condiments, bottled and boxed beverages like water bottles and juice boxes, and dairy items like coffee creamer and heavy cream. You’ll free up much-needed space while giving some of your most popular fridge items a permanent home. 

You don’t have to confine this game-changer to your kitchen cabinets and fridge, though. Spread the organizing love all over your home by putting them on various counters and shelves throughout your space. Grab a few and use them to do the following: 

  • Store your coffee and tea essentials like sugar, honey, and coffee beans in a coffee bar.
  • Organize your serums, lotions, and other skincare items in the bathroom. 
  • Store your cocktail must-haves, including glasses and a shaker on a bar cart or in a cabinet.
  • Neatly group together paints, markers, and other creative essentials.
  • Keep your laundry essentials, like stain removers and fabric softener, in order and easy to grab. 

Bonus tip: This organizer can double as a fun decorative display. Place a small vase of flowers at the top, then put your favorite trinkets along the second and third shelves to create an eye-drawing centerpiece!
