If we had the Container Store in Australia I would probably live there. We have our own versions of the store of course, but the majority of them charge exorbitant amounts of money for things that I honestly don’t think should cost so much. But that is a whole different post, and one I will probably never bother to write (cue collective sign of relief). I placed the order using parcel forwarding service Hop Shop Go, and I’m going to have to make the most of this stuff because the shipping cost was so high that I’ll never be ordering from the Container Store again. Woe. I ordered a few bits and pieces, mostly things to help me organise my life (vinyl document holders to keep different types of paperwork together for projects I’m working on, manila folders for storing bills/press releases, receipt file to help me keep track of things I purchase for my new house, paper flags to use in my Lilly Pulitzer planner and weekly to-do post it notes), and a few travel-friendly things for my trip later this year. Mmm, organisation.
I would also live at the container store if we had them here 🙁
I’ve just paid a feel-good visit to Officeworks – $2 A5 accordion file in the cutest summery pink, a storage otterman (what I thought was black pleather is dark brown but oh well), some mailing items, and 2 16GB usbs…. now I’m sorting out my stationary drawer haha, I do love some organization… 🙂
Organization-drool. I’m so jealous. I love Officeworks… but I would love the Container Store even more.
I actually discovered that some of this stuff is available from Officeworks… AFTER placing my order of course.
I wish we had it in here too!
Ohhhhh…. I do love organisation, and everything that helps me stay that way. This is how I rationalised every Muji purchase I ever made. I’d better not get acquainted with the Container Store for the sake of my bank account 😉
I am yet to buy anything by Muji, despite a lot of people mentioning how good their stuff is! I’ll have to keep an eye out.
