We all like to give gifts that are more personal and screams out the person's name. I have learned that everyone likes to receive gifts they either have on their list, or items that are really useful. The latter is where Organizing Gifts come into play. Here is my list for everyone on your list.
Drawer Organizers: They come in shallow or deep depths for drawers in the kitchen, a desk, a vanity or a night table. You can also use small bins to place in deeper stackable drawer, or drawer units many of us have inside closets or kids' rooms.
Rolling Cart: The rolling cart has become THE item almost everyone I know has somewhere in their household. It has such a variety of uses in a variety of places: bar, arts & crafts, kids snacks, office, bathroom, nursery supplies, games, college dorm, etc. I have seen it used as night stands and it looked great! The rolling cart also comes in different materials from metal, to wood, to acrylic, to stainless steel.

Lazy Susans or Turntables: Most people think of the kitchen, but this can be used anywhere there is a shelf for medicines in a cabinet, markers and crayons in a kids room, and makeup brushes, sponges, pads, Q-tips, and all things cosmetics. It is easier to spin the turntable to get what you want. This also comes in different sizes, heights, and material - although acrylic is the most sought after.
Trays: Ahhhh trays! They're great when hosting, corralling items on your coffee table, or organizing the top of your dresser.
Jewelry Organizers: Purchase specific jewelry organizers for specific items like watches, sunglasses, or cuff links. There are a variety of jewelry drawers and trays with fabric lining depending on whether the giftee has more rings than necklaces, or more earrings than bracelets. Standing organizers are especially nice to go on top of a dresser, or vanity, for hanging necklaces to prevent tangling, or as I use mine, to place the items I use the most.
Decorative Containers: Containers, baskets, and bins, oh my! They come in a variety of sizes, price points, and materials. Decorative containers can organize clothing, bath items, magazines, kitchen items, and so on. I do suggest that you really know the recipient's decor style, or have that gift receipt included just in case. I also suggest to gift 2 of them so it doesn't look random in whichever room they decide to use it in.
Tech or Wire Organizing Bag: This is a great choice for the Techy, Gamer, or kids. It organizes wires, iPads, phones, and all things tech. It can be placed in any kind of bag for easy portability, too.
Packing Organizers: The traveler in your life will appreciate these packing organizers. I have a set from Flight 001 that I LOVE because they have a 'clean' side and 'dirty' side to separate my clothes. (Unfortunately they are no longer in business). I bought a set as a gift for my bestie from Eagle Creek. She loves the set because it has helped her edit down how much she packs. Eagle Creek sells a variety of colors and sizes, and they have a lifetime guarantee on all their products.
Trunk Organizer: A trunk organizer eliminates items from falling out of shopping bags. It can also be used to separate and organize groceries, clothing bags, sports gear, etc.
Last but not least... Holiday Storage: When the Holidays ends, everyone could use a better organization system for their Holiday decor. Why not gift a wrapping organizer, ornament organizer, wreath storage bag, and tree storage bag. They are all great gifts!
