“Everything in its place” would be an appropriate slogan for this Beach-area shop. Specializing in storage solutions, it is filled with a panoply of boxes, bags, baskets, crates and other containers. And keeping chaos at bay doesn’t have to cost a lot: recent deals have included collapsible nylon storage bins (ideal for stacking sweaters, $10–20); sturdy, easily storable plastic sacks to keep recycling overflow in check (three for $9); and nylon shopping bags that roll up into their own pouches ($10). Other practical, space-saving products include bathroom accessories (soap dishes, shower curtains, toilet roll holders), travel containers, garbage cans, laundry baskets, kitchen gadgets and closet organizers by brands such as Umbra, Rubbermaid and InterDesign.
Hours:
M–Su 10–7.
