GIT Ideas-Puzzle Storage Solutions

GIT Answers: What is the best way to store puzzles and keep them organized?

One of my friends asked me how I store all the kids puzzles.  We don’t have that many, maybe 10 or so, and they all happen to be Melissa and Doug board puzzles.  Once we had enough that we couldn’t stack them in an organized fashion, I got online and started searching for a solution.

At our local library, there are wire racks that store hundreds of toddler puzzles and I was able to find one smaller but similar, made by Melissa and Doug for around $20.  What I like about it is that it is larger on the bottom and smaller on the top to accommodate whichever puzzles you have.  If you have more than 10 puzzles, you can easily buy a few and put them on a shelf for easy access for the kids.  We also have 2 Melissa and Doug dress up puzzles that come in their own wooden crates, but we can stack them nicely on the puzzle rack.

Puzzles are an activity we do on rare occasion, so if we ever get too many I will donate the ones we have grown out of to avoid having to store more;)

GIT Ideas : Golf Storage

26th July 2016

How do you store your golf gear? Usually, everything can fit into a golf bag and most of the time, bags are leaned up against the wall or stashed in a corner.  I did a little research for a friend who was asking my golf storage opinion and I found a couple of solutions.

1.  There are racks especially for golf bags that you can hang on the wall in your garage like this one from The Container Store ($24.99).  It’s designed to hold two bags (with clubs) and two pairs of shoes.  Depending on your garage storage solution, you may be able to add a hook to your track system to hold your golf bag.

2.  Another option is a golf stand that simply sits on the floor and has shelves and cubbies for all you golf gear.  This one at Target is $56 and will tidy up your golf corner and keep your bag upright and looking organized.

If you are overwhelmed with golf equipment, it might be time to go through your bag and pull out the million golf balls floating in every pocket and store them in a basket on your spare shelf in the garage. Or try to find space to zip golf shoes inside the bag, maybe even donate that old driver that was replaced last Father’s Day.  If all the gear is in one bag you can grab quickly, there will be less fuss before teeing off.
