26. A stackable translucent container for any tea lover who wants to find the flavor they’re feeling that morning without having to sort through 15 different containers great tea bag storage box with plenty of room it has six compartments to hold all the tea you can handle.
27. Another over-the-door hamper so you can always remember to throw your soiled under things where they belong instead of leaving them on the floor what I like about this one is that it is the smaller of the two so it fits nicely in my cramped bathroom space however if you are looking for a large laundry bag this wouldn’t be the ideal choice for you.
28. A three-tiered standalone spice rack so you’ll be absolutely action ready especially when you need to add more flavor to your recipes super quickly the bottom edge is slightly larger at 6 inches maybe 1/8 of an inch so keep that in mind if you have a very tight space the border around each step limits the size of things that you can place together this may be more useful without the border.
