Dollar Tree's Simple Car Organization Finds Seriously Belong in Every Vehicle

Does it ever feel like your car is a black hole of all things? You take a pen, and poof—it's gone, only to turn up under your floor mat months later. Or the change you swear you had has magically disappeared. Well, maybe it's time to get organized! The creators over at @ALifeBetterOrganized on TikTok have come up with a few brilliant solutions to help get your car a bit more organized—and best of all, you only need to take a trip to your local Dollar Tree!

Let's face it, we've all been there. Your car is a mess, and no matter how many times you clean it, the clutter seems to come back with a vengeance. The first thing you're going to want to grab is this weird angular fuzzy cleaner. While not meant for organization, this small tool is a lifesaver when it comes to cleaning the inside of your windshield. It also stores neatly in your door pocket or glove compartment, meaning it won't take up a lot of space.

Next are some little plastic flip-top containers. While they might not seem like much at first, you can stack a few of them in your armrest, and they are the perfect size to store and organize all the smaller items that tend to get tossed in. Gum, change, and all those extra little bits and bobs finally have a place to go! Tiny, but efficient!

Another trick is to use a phone-pocket sticker, which you would normally put on the back of your phone to hold small, thin things like your credit card or ID, and stick it somewhere in your car. This allows you to have a bit of cash on hand, but another idea is actually to use it to hold onto the arm of your sunglasses, or even your keys so you always know where they are!

A stick-on 'phone ring with a strap' serves a very similar purpose but has a slightly lower profile, and you can stick multiples of them in a small space. This means you can create a mini-command center for all those little things that usually get lost.

But What About Keeping Your Drinks From Making a Mess?

Finally, to help prevent those drinks from tipping over, try cutting up a bit of rubber mat into the size and shape of your cup-holder. Drop that down into the space, and it will help keep your cups from sliding around, as well as make clean-up easier by preventing bits of food or dirt from falling into those hard-to-reach cracks! No more spilled coffee disasters to ruin your morning commute.
