How To Set Up a Celebration Drawer
Time for a little spring cleaning! After spending so much time at home over the last year, things have shifted a whole lot. We’ve been doing a lot of organizing and purging while working on making our home more homey. With a shift to celebrating everything at home from birthdays to holidays, I thought it was time to go out with the old and swing in with the new. This is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own.
Let me introduce you to the idea of a Celebration Drawer! My motto here at Cutefetti is eat, create, celebrate and what better way to do that than to create your own party drawer or birthday drawer? I had a blast doing this thanks to Spectrum HEXA™ in-drawer organizers.
Let’s face it, your junk drawer is not serving you any real purpose. Once I dumped mine out on the counter, I realized that 75% of everything I had in there actually belonged somewhere else. Then, a good 15% was literal junk as in trash, like wrinkled old fast food napkins and bent straws. I was left with about 10% that I could easily re-home. Took me minutes to do, then it was time to get some of my most-used party supplies organized so that they were not only easy to use but serve as a reminder to make every day a celebration.
WHAT IS A CELEBRATION DRAWER
Having a celebration drawer is a fun reminder to celebrate EVERYTHING. Life is precious and making every day one to remember is my goal in 2021. Let me show you how to transform your current junk drawer into a celebration drawer using a variety of trendy Spectrum HEXA™ in-drawer organizers.
CELEBRATION DRAWER ORGANIZERS
Since we are switching up our old school junk drawers to something fresh and fun, choosing organizational tools that help keep it clean are a must. Spectrum HEXA™ in-drawer organizers are the perfect organizers for all of your drawers when you choose joy over clutter! I instantly fell in love with their fresh, clean and trendy look. If you look closely, they include a pretty hexagon shape at the bottom of each of their products. The hexagon shape known as HEXOLOGY results in no dirt buildup on your dishes, utensils or in this case party supplies.
The hexagon shape allows for water and dust or dirt to move through the organizer, keeping stowed items cleaner and allowing you to simply lift it out of the drawer to wipe away any dirt left behind. They have a variety of products and sizes that you can mix and match to your needs.
- SILVERWARE TRAYS - with expandable wings anchor the organizer in place for ease of use and have multiple dividers for an array of utensils/cutlery of different shapes and sizes. Bonus - the trays nest inside of each other.
- IN-DRAWER ORGANIZERS - keep your items clean without sacrificing style. Easily slides into drawers, with rubber feet to prevent sliding in-drawer. The modular design offers endless customization options for all of your organizing needs.
Once you have your in-drawer organizers selected, it's time to fill them up with all the good stuff.

What a great organizing tip and item. I am forever looking for celebration items due to messy drawers,. Would definitely organize all my baking things with this. n
Cards, I'd add cards because I know I have them, I just can never find them when I need them.
A wonderful place to store cake decorating tips for pastry bags!
I absolutely adore the hexagon design.
Confetti and sparklers
These would be great for organizing my cucpake wrappers, cake decorating tools, and birthday candles!
I do need those organizers. My daughter has been making snide comments about them and me not getting around to put some order in there!!
I would add ephemera for attaching to gifts, which I find, overjoyed, then promptly lose!
I would need to add this to my drawers in my sewing room. It took me 3 weeks to reorganize the fabrics and furniture. I have one large drawer that creeps me out and needs to be put into shape!
My drawers need serious help with organization and this would be awesome!
I'd have birthday candles, cupcake liners, balloons, birthday napkins, and birthday sprinkles
I try to be organized but find that I have my candles in three different places, cupcake liners are down in the baking cupboard, extra cake servers and tongs are in with the flatware. I would love to get it all organized
Mini figurines (kids favorites) sprinkles and non pareilles.
As a single working mom and teacher, I love to CRAFT and if I won a few Spectrum HEXA in-drawer organizers I'd add some stickers and funny messages to help with gift giving and scrapbooking!!
This is such a wonderful idea. I absolutely love it! I would add a small address/phone book, notepad and pens. I am also thinking of adding a space for Birthday invitation/thank-you cards, stamps, and labels.
My heading is spinning with all types of different ideas?? LOL
I would add balloons, candles and decorations
I like to write goofy notes with stickers and little decorations in my kids' lunches so I would love to put all of that stuff in these drawers. They think I'm a geek but I know they secretly love it,lol.
I would add party hats and happy birthday confetti!
I would add birthday cards, anniversary, graduation etc for things that are going on and you need a card. I would also add some cute stickers and assorted things and postage stamps.
I would add confetti and balloons.
An easier answer would be what wouldn't I use them for (answer is not much). So what I WOULD use them for: gift giving (labels, ribbons, tape); card making (stamps, cutters, scissors, ink pads, envelopes); jewelry making (hardware, gems, feathers, leather pieces, beads, crystals); etc etc.
I would add a address book with names and phone numbers
I would add a calendar Andy tape
I am dying to get my drawers in order!
I would add scissors, tape, and some cute stickers. I am alllllll about the organization!!
I would add some things for dog birthday parties. I would add tape, scissors, tags for presents and stamps.
I would add gift tags to tie on baking gifts
I have a bunch of cake decorating supplies that would go perfect in them.
I would add some curling ribbon in assorted colors.
You have given me a great idea. I'm going to organize a draw like this and call it Gigi's Celabration Draw for when the grandkids visit. Little fun prizes, things to do or treats will be stocked regularly.
Aww! I love that idea so much!!!
I would add a calendar.
These would be great for candles, balloons, and decor pics.
I think candles would go great there
It would be a good place to keep candles and baking decorations!
I would add tape, a pen and scissors to a celebration drawer.
I would put my kids stationary items like markers, erasers, colored pencils for handy use and also some paper craft supply.
Seriously love this idea - how fun to have party supplies ready to go to celebrate even small, daily things? My drawer would be heavy on the balloons, since kiddo loves them. In addition to your fun suggestions, I'd probably add a few window and dry erase markers to write messages, plus some glitter/confetti, and a little ribbon!
I would add a DKWTD (don’t know what to do) spot with those items that I just can’t categorize or group.
I would add or give this to my little niece to put her special things inside
I'd be sure to have plenty of birthday candles. We always seem to run out. Balloons would also be great to have. Love this idea!
I would add ribbons and sprinkles of all kinds.
I'd add my cake/cupcake decorating tools there...then I wouldn't have to hunt them down.
Yes!!! That would be so much fun!
I would add a small notebook/paper pad with all the special days that would be celebrated. This is such a good idea, wish I had thought about something like this when my kids were small.
Aww! That is such a cute idea! I love that!
I would put Sprinkles, Balloons and cupcake wrappers in my drawer!
I love the idea of adding sprinkles! Fabulous! 🎉
