Busy road warriors (especially those that live in condos or apartments with limited space) may find these to be a great way to stay organized during short breaks when returning home.

It is not uncommon for me to arrive from overseas in the evening, turn my suitcase upside down, refill it, and leave for another continent the next morning. That’s why staying organized (or at least pretending to) is important to me.

I really like how easy the CleverMade Collapsible Container and soft-sided SnapBasket make that a cinch.

Everyone has been to The Container Store and seen the vast array of products on the market, but these shift between efficient use at home or on the road.

It makes it so much easier to transport accessories to a conference or trade show in these (than a suitcase or box) since they look good in public, but can also be collapsed and stored under a bed, table, or behind a trade show stand.

The CleverCrates stack on top of each other and protect the contents inside while also latching together to keep them from falling during movement.

The newer SnapBasket is similar in design, but is fantastic when you’re on the go since it is more like a lightweight, soft-sided container with handle.

When you’re finished using it, the handle hinges down to fold flat for easier storage.

It can hold more than 25 pounds plus has a zippered pocket for smaller items. There are so many uses for this from grocery shopping to transporting items from your car to the office.

It is great when I am bringing home materials from a work trip because instead of lugging a box or throwing them into a disorganized rolling suitcase, I can wheel them more respectably without burdening my shoulder or back.

Lest you are worried for the base to become dingy with water from puddles, there is a special fabric lining the bottom to keep it durable. But, just in case, the plastic surface is also easy to wipe if it does get wet or dirty.

Its variety of colors even lets you color coordinate it for the appropriate setting. The SnapBasket comes in various sizes (including a thermo version serving as a cooler) and retails for about $15-20 on the SnapBasket website or on Amazon.
