Start with a clear, plastic hanging shoe organizer. Cut the organizer to size. For most cars, two rows of pockets is a great size. Fill each pocket with essentials such as a water bottle and water bowl, paw wipes, doggie bags, a lead, brush, tennis balls and toys. Using a bungee cord, hang the organizer from the front row seats so that the pockets are easy to reach from the backseat.

Start with a clear, plastic hanging shoe organizer. Using a utility knife, slice the bottom of each pocket on the two right columns — except for the final pocket! This creates long tubes so that wrapping paper rolls can easily slide through the pockets and store upright. Pack each pocket with gift wrapping supplies such as twine, tissue paper, scissors, tape, bag filler, ribbon, washi tape, cards, gift tags, bows, gift toppers and markers.

Start with a clear, plastic hanging shoe organizer. Fill each pocket with camping essentials such as trash bags, plastic poncho, reusable utensils, citronella candle, matches, first-aid kit, batteries, headlamp, flashlight, portable power bank, multi-tool, sunscreen, towel, paring knife, bug repellant wipes, bottle opener, can opener, bungee cords and foil and seasoning. Roll up the organizer and wrap a bungee cord around the bundle to create a handle. The bungee cord can also be used to hang the organizer at your campsite. Just remember: Never store food in the organizer as any open food will attract bears.
