I don’t know whether to blame the frigid weather or just admit that I am content to be a disorganized packrat, but cleaning out my disastrous closets couldn’t be lower on my “to do” list. Still, when I saw these deals on organization items, I considered getting a jump on spring cleaning. And then, I returned to my television marathon. Maybe the savings will be enough to get you moving, though:
• The Container Store is having a huge Elfa sale right now, which means that their organizational systems are marked down 30 percent. Bonus: The same mark down applies to the installation cost.

• If, like me, you just want to find more places to hide your mess in plain sight, Brocade Home has sets of pretty hat boxes on sale for $29, down from $49. If you stack three of them next to a chair, you can camouflage a junk drawer and have a place to put your drink.

• Or, just wrap yourself in what looks like a really comfy blanket from VivaTerra and take a nap. The price is now $244, down from $349.
