Product of the Week! Expanding Jewelry Tray for In Drawer Jewelry Storage!
I found this great expanding jewelry tray that is designed for in drawer jewelry storage. I can’t cheer enough about the benefits of storing your jewelry in a drawer. There are so many great jewelry drawer dividers out there, that if you are lucky enough to have an open drawer in your bedroom dresser or even in the bathroom, you are really missing out if you don’t use it to organize your gems!
This jewelry organizer expands from 13 to 22 inches, so you can really maximize storage in your drawer. If you have an entire drawer that can be used, then simply stretch it out as far as it goes and organize away! If, however, you only have half a drawer emptied out, say, next to your makeup in the bathroom, then you can still make use of this great organizer. There is an upper layer with divided trays, or cubes, great for all of your earrings, rings and pendants. If you slide that tray to the side, it reveals two more cubbies. One large one that can hold bracelets, watches and more, and a long narrow cubby for necklaces. It’s made of wood with a clear sealant on it, easy to clean when it gets dusty. It features a loc ball system that keeps it open once you have opened it, no slippage. To protect it from dust, simply lay a cloth or towel over the top, this will also hide it from burglars, toddlers, and your roommate that likes to “borrow” your stuff.
Stacks & Stacks carries many more jewelry drawer dividers, including stackable felt lined trays in burgundy, black and more. Or, for an easy to find and extremely affordable option, a simple plastic divided tray is always a great idea.

A Gift Guide for Jewelry Storage for Everyone on your List!
Ahh, it’s that wonderful time of year again. No, not Christmas, Valentine’s Day – a day celebrating love of all types, from Moms and Dads to their kids, Grandparents to their Grandchildren, and couples of all ages to each other! Jewelry storage comes in many different forms, and, just as jewelry itself can be, a jewelry box is a beautiful gift to give on Valentine’s Day.
Here is a list of some people you may be wanting to shower with gifts, and, for each, a jewelry storage option designed just for them!
- Wives and Girlfriends: A Jewelry Box is an obvious choice. Choose one in made of hardwood with glass or mirror accents. If she likes very elegant home décor, dark and light cherry woods are the way to go. If she has more modern taste, a white painted, black or espresso jewelry box will bring a smile to her face. If she already has a lot of jewelry, here is a cute idea: Purchase an inexpensive jewelry organizer, like a jewelry drawer divider tray and wrap it up, but first put her real present (a pair of earrings, or, maybe, a ring?) in it. She will be thrilled by both of these thoughtful presents.
- Dads and Boyfriends: Yes, some of them have jewelry too. If not, a Men’s Valet is a nice V Day present – Stacks & Stacks has table top valets and beautiful wooden watch cases. He will feel loved, important, and it will give him a nice place to set his wallet, keys and cell phone at night (as opposed to the floor) - a gift to everyone!
- Girls and Young Women: Little girls love musical jewelry boxes, with or without the spinning ballerina! For older girls, faux leather boxes in cool blues, pinks and browns are a big hit, and can hold anything from jewelry to love notes on their dresser top.
