A Tidy Nest for My Tangled Mess

My apartment is currently a jungle of Monstera deliciosa and pothos vines. This means my power cords are constantly competing with aerial roots for space on my desk.

It is a losing battle. I picked up the BAGSMART Cord Organizer from Amazon for under nine dollars because I am tired of pulling USB cables out of my spider plant's soil.

It is a simple, grey nylon pouch that finally keeps my digital ecosystem in check.

What makes this thing worth your eight bucks is the layout. It has elastic loops that are sturdy enough to hold my charging bricks without them flopping around like a dying fern.

I feel much calmer knowing my lightning cables are tucked away rather than dangling into the water tray of my peace lily. It is compact, quiet, and strangely satisfying to zip shut.

Here is why it wins:

• Keeps desk clutter away from delicate leaf tips
• Fits perfectly in a backpack side pocket
• Dirt cheap and feels built to last

I am not saying this will change your life, but it certainly saves my plants from accidental strangulation. If you have as many cords as I have humidity-loving begonias, you need one of these in your travel kit immediately.
