Like any jet-setting geek girl, I refuse to travel without all of my gadgets. But with a phone, iPod, camera, cords, and chargers, keeping gadgets organized and cords tangle-free is a challenge.
I'm in love with the Grid-It organization system ($25) from Flight001.

Is it bad (or over the top geeky) that earphone cord holders excite me? I guess I'm guilty of always having cords that get twisted, knotted and end up in a big messy ball. Who needs some elaborate contraption to keep them organized when there are some great tiny yet effective inventions on the market.

It's not easy to keep USB cords in order, but the 88 percent of you who like creative organizers will probably agree this USB multiplug ($16) looks like it could help.
The device was designed by Theo Williams and features three sockets and four LED lights to denote connectivity. I like that it airs on the subtle side of cord management and doesn't involve a complicated wall mount or cartoon-like coverage.

Not impressed with Real Simple's sock tip to gather your cords? I know what you mean, because if you have to see the cords, you don't also want to see an old partnerless tube sock.
The Cable Box ($30) comes in handy because if the part of my cords I want organized is visible and even gathered in those little tubes, I'm not happy.

I love cute, kitschy accessories that keep your desk looking cheery yet serve a functional purpose. Displayed on Tokyo Mango, these Cube and Bunny Cord Organizers are two unique ways to keep your cables and cords looking neat and tidy. Because of the nine separate pegs on the cube, you can use it for several small cords at once, whereas the bunny can probably only hold one.

I'm all about ingenious ways to hide my cords, but I don't know if I'd be willing to put up a white-picket fence in order to do so. Here are two creative ways to keep those pesky cables hidden— a Wall Cleat and a Picket Fence. Featured on Gearfuse, the white, simplistic Wall Cleat lets you wrap loose, unplugged cables around it, therefore keeping your dangling cables neatly stowed.

I can't seem to get enough of these simplistic cable cord spools. I got so excited about the headphone cable wraps which were basically a colored clip and now I'm equally excited about this cord manager. Designed by Andrea Ruggiero and featured on Apartment Therapy, the Sombrero Cord Management accessory (named Sombrero because of its straw hat shape), keeps cords stowed away in an organized fashion.
