Family movie nights will be stress-free when you give each kiddo a caddie with his or her own drinks and goodies (Thanks to reader Sabrina for sharing this photo with us on Facebook) This will keep the kiddos from fighting over which bag of candy belongs to who and it will help keep spills to a minimum.
4. Clean Up Your Car
No more messy minivans! A grab and go shower caddy works great as a car organizer for the kids’ toys, books, sunglasses, tissues and other miscellaneous items in the car. You can set the caddy next to the child and they will be able to reach their own things when they need them.

When you brought home your shower caddy, did you discover it didn’t work in your shower? Is it too big for your cabinet? Not a problem. You can trim it down to fit inside your cabinet door. A custom storage unit!
7. Use a Shower Caddy Under Your Kitchen Sink
Get an over-the-door wire organizer for a fraction of the price by using a shower caddy! Use it to organize the kitchen sink. Smart idea for storing extra dish detergent and sponges. And no more knocking things over when you need something from under the sink.

- a wire shower caddy
- a bath sponge
- and air plants
When you get it finished, you’ll have a pretty hanging plant in your shower.
10. Make a Fast Food Tray for Road Trips
If you’re often eating on the go or you do a lot of traveling with your family, a shower caddy makes a brilliant fast food tray, especially for the kiddos. It will give them some independence and save your sanity by keeping the mess to a minimum.
11. Gather Like Items Together In Your Pantry
These caddies are actually not shower caddies. These are the smaller caddies you use at the kitchen sink. They are ideal for storing seasonings and other small food items in the pantry. No more losing packets of taco seasoning or finding drink mixes from 10 years ago. You can keep everything together, neatly, in one tidy space. This is such a great idea!
12. You Can Even Organize Your Pets With a Shower Caddy!

13. Drive Safer With a Shower Caddy
Be ready for a road trip anytime with a caddy full of motor vehicle fluids for your car. It’s a handy way to keep oil, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid and more organized and in one spot. No more rolling and sliding around in the trunk of your car. Just grab them when your car needs a top-off and off you go.
14. Keep School Supplies Organized
Put a caddy full of school supplies near your homework station so the kids have their crayons, calculators, pencils, etc. handy when they need them. No more excuses for them to get up and run around instead of getting their work done. It will be a sanity-saver for you! And frankly, your junk drawer will love you for it too – no more pencil-stuffed drawer.
15. Keep Your Laundry Supplies Together
Add a shower caddy to your laundry room to hold your stain removers, fabric sheets, and detergents. This keeps them organized and out of your way so you have more room to sort and fold your laundry. It’s also good for keeping the products out of the reach of children.
16. Save Time and Effort When Cleaning!
This is the super-duper granddaddy of all the tips! Create a cleaning caddy for each room so you never have to go looking for supplies! While it might seem a little indulgent to have one for each area of your house, it will save you time and effort! And as Abby points out, it’s a great excuse to break out the Washi tape and label maker!
