Super-organized people will love these thoughtful presents that will keep them on top of their to-do lists and ensure there’s a place for everything (and everything is in its place).
![These gifts will allow your organized loved ones to fully engage in their Type A tendencies.](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_752,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/voltaxMediaLibrary/mmsport/mentalfloss/01hfvy3m4bhrqvmjtgfh.jpg)
One of the best ways to end the old year and start off the new is to get organized: set new goals, tidy up clutter, and plan for the next 356 days. But some of us are more organized than others. If you have a family member who starts their spring cleaning in January or a friend who always sticks to their New Year’s resolutions, consider getting them a gift that will aid in their organizational endeavors. The list below includes tools for personal and home organization, along with space-savers so your favorite goal-setter can get their planning done in peace. Even though they’ve probably got a million things on their to-do list, they’ll at least be able to check off one thing on their “to-buy” list … and add you to the top of their other list for thank-you cards.

If they prefer more structure to their to-do list, this $10 pad from Makaplan provides a place for a list as well as top priorities, appointments, and notes.
