We all have them: cell phones, iPods, PDAs, organizers…and all those essential electronics have to end up somewhere. If you’re anything like me, they wind up in a pile on top of your desk, cords tangled on their way to the nearest outlet. I haven’t been using my iPod a whole lot anymore since I’m working from home, but there’s still the cell phone, and occassionally my PDA since I don’t have a Blackberry that does it all.
In my quest for organization, I have tried to remove everything from my desk that isn’t absolutely essential — which means that it’s left a bit bare and boring. As evidenced by the eco-chic desk caendar I featured a few days ago, I don’t want it to be completely devoid of personality.
These awesome bamboo desk accessories by Kangaroom Storage are the perfect solution. They make a 2-pod and 3-pod gadget charging station, as well as laptop and monitor stands with charging stations built in. No matter which fits your needs, it is sure to add some eco-friendly style to your work station. In fact, these are so sleek and functional, you’d definitely benefit from adding one to your desk away from home.
One thing is certain: it will keep your gadgets close at hand and their cords tangle free, and they’ll free your desk of the electronic clutter we have all become so accustomed to.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of sustainable bamboo
Price: $25-45

My boyfriend would love the remote control organizer… but being an eco friendly girl- i gotta stick with the bamboo! I really love the laptop stand- since we have a laptop and no desk it would look fabulous on our retro blue trunk that is currently holding our laptop
But really- all the bamboo products look great!
I am in love with the computer things you posted but, after further inspection, I found this great Corky Wall Organizer that I am picturing over my desk…..right there. The charging dock would look great next to my comp too.

I love the Corky Wall Organizer. I love having a place for everything and if that saves table top space, then that’s wonderful! I wish I had found these when I was looking for a gift for my nieces for their brand new rooms.
My favorite are the Kangaroom Collapsible Toy Storage. Always looking for toy storage…these would be perfect for dress-up.

Pattis last blog post..Giveaway! Aveda shampoo, conditioner, & Ready-Made
I liked the medium activities bag the best as my son has started school and has one bag for school, another for snacks and a sports bag. This could be an all in one, as it has dividers and pre printed labels. and its on sale – yeah!
THanks for the contest.
HI, I have some great china but don’t use it as I have a 3 yr old, but its just shoved in the cupboard. So, I love the china and stemware keepers, I love them because they come in individual sizes to match your needs, so don’t bulk up and take too much room as boxes would.
Great sweeps.
Loving the wally wall organiser as I have a tiny desk and not much room for anything, even on the walls. So I loved the way this can hang up on the door. Its great for my craft supplies.
Thanks,
wow this would be so cool to win then well i’m not haveing to use little box’s for all my things on the desk thanks and do i have a fav not realy i think every thing is realy nice
I like the Cupcake Storage units best because they would provide a place for toys while looking cute, too. I could decorate an entire room around the cupcake theme.
I love the Kids Underbed Wagon Storage – it is useful and adorable!
I love the sewing room storage bins. They would be great for my scrapbooking habit that is quickly overtaking my office/dining room/living room/bedroom.
Hi I liked the Bamboo Laptop Stand Workstation. This would solve my problem of working on my laptop that teeters across my knees
Thanks

laces last blog post..An Ordinary Life and a Cup of Coffee
Im digging the crafty complete closet set. Hanging storage for my craft stuff would be ideal, I can never seem to get it all in once place!
I like the bath products, the shower caddy would be so nice for all our bottles and shaving items. And the under the sink hanging organizer would be nice in our small bathroom where we don’t have alot of storage space
i really like the bamboo laptop stand workstation. my laptop would love me for this!
I love this website & the underbed storage is great amongst other things

This would really come in handy for my husband who takes over the kitchen counter with all his “things”. I also love the photo storage box.
The Days of the Week organizer is a great idea. I’ve tried the ziploc bag method but just end up losing all the bags by the end of the week. This organizer would make getting my daughter ready for school in the morning so much easier!
I love the Notions Organizer-6 tray by KangaRoom… it would be perfect for my craft room!
The Kangaroom Collapsible Toy Storage looks like it would be great in the minivan. Thanks for the giveaway!

Denas last blog post..Contests I’m entering 9/18-9/21
I am really drawn to the complete closet organizer, as I sit here and think of my daughter’s overlfowing mess of a closet.
Those cupcake bags are pretty darn adorable, but I would have to say I like the hanging shelves for your closet the best. I never have enough shelf space, and as someone who’s moved too many times in the past several years, I appreciate shelves that are fairly soft and can be folded up!
The Cupcake Storage bags are hilarious…and delish! Fun stuff.
They have the cutest stuff there. Love those cupcake storage bags, too cute. What I really want though is the pink Personal Media Case, very cool. I love bamboo as well & really need something for my ipod & cel, love to win this!

My favorite item is the joey & jane underbed storage, though the item I probably need the most is the remote caddy.

The Classic Black Hamper is beautiful. Clean, simple lines, very sophisticated piece. I love it!

Another vote for the Photo Storage Ledge. It is decorative and useful at one and the same time. I’d probably rotate photos in it weekly….
The Kangaroom Cupcake Storage Bags are just about the coolest, not to mention, cutest things ever. My daughter would love them and it would be so great to get some stuffed animals or doll clothes or something put away! Thanks!

I could use all the help I can get organizing things in my life, so this site has a lot to offer me. But, like you, I prefer to stick to sustainable materials, so the bamboo products are definitely for me!
