Staying organized in the home is a constant effort; that being said, we are always on the lookout for tools and accessories that will make keeping a tidy house even the slightest bit easier.

Enter a brilliant recommendation from Jennifer Aniston: a state-of-the-art label maker. The Friends star recently revealed to the Strategist that Brother, a company that specializes in printers, makes a must-have gadget for keeping organized in her own home. It's giving us some serious home organizing ideas.

'I love a P-touch, I love a P-touch [available on Amazon],' Jennifer told The Strategist. 'I like to put dates on food. I like to know what’s in this drawer, where is that drawer, so you’re not on a witch hunt: “Remember which drawer that’s in?” So this is it for me. It helps me stay organized. And it’s a basic thing – I don’t try to get creative with it. I do like that it allows me to do different font sizes, though. That’s important.'

Spring cleaning season is in session, and there is no better time than now to start organizing (and labelling) items for easy accessibility. We are partial to clear jars and containers for a look that is sleek and minimalist, not to mention easy to attach labels to. Additionally, pouring colorful ingredients into clear containers adds some vibrancy to to any countertop or pantry.

Below, we have rounded up a few of our favorite jars and containers that work well in kitchens and beyond. The best part? They are all under $50. Enjoy organizing, the way we'd expect Jennifer Aniston intended.
