3 Surprising Ways to Use Travel Jewelry Organizers

So you think travel jewelry organizers are just for... ah traveling. Well, that's what they're indented for and they do a terrific job, but I was thinking of something a little more outside-the-organizer-box. Typically, these little travel wonders come with zippered or Velcro closing compartments and the entire organizers can fold or roll up into even smaller sized package to tuck inside suitcase.

Those compartments, however, can be used for more than just a resting place for rings, watches and necklaces. They can hold a myriad of small objects that are cluttering up drawer space, the bottom of your purse, or take the place of other bulky containers.

If you're looking for more organizing options, just look at some of the other options jewelry organizers can offer.

Manage your makeup in a jewelry travel case – With so many small compartments; a travel case is a much better option for keeping makeup organized and secure. Lipsticks, mascara and even small bottles of perfume will have their own spaces rather than rattling around in a traditional makeup bag.

Organize your prescription and over-the-counter meds in a travel organizer – If you have more than a couple of prescriptions medicines to carry – or you just want to make sure you always have some pain killers or vitamins handy, a travel jewelry organizer is an easy solution.

Carry an emergency kid sitter kit inside a jewelry travel bag – Next time you’re stuck waiting in a long grocery line or in the doctor’s waiting room with an impatient, save your sanity with a kid sitter kit. Fold up a couple pages of blank paper or coloring pages and stuck them into one of the compartments. Add a few crayons and small toys to keep the kids occupied.

Yes, travel jewelry organizers are still great for keeping your jewelry organized and safe while on vacation or a business trip, but by thinking outside-the-jewelry-organizer-box, you can put these handy organizers to work in so many ways.
