12 Tidy and Perfect Gifts for the Neat Freak in Your Life

The "no shoes" rule in their house is not open for negotiation. These Japanese house slippers will help them (and their guests) maintain the perfect foot temperature without compromising the integrity or cleanliness of the carpet, the hardwood, or the Portuguese tile. The footbed is cushioned and the upper is crafted of finely constructed twill. And please—please keep your feet off the table. Thank you.

You don’t expect them to keep their writing utensils in the cheap company-issued pen cup, do you? Poppin’s desktop organization collection is smart, inexpensive, and has more clean lines than a Sol LeWitt. They get two letter trays, an accessory tray, and a (gorgeous!) pen cup. The set also comes with 12 matching pens and a silicone “This + That” tray for paperclips, change, or whatever.

These chipboard paper clips are much more refined than the pedestrian metal ones. Plus, since you can jot notes right on them, it’s a great way for your loved one to annotate their readings without leaving even a single pen mark in the margins.

Wireless charging is a gift from heaven, but some things still need to be plugged in with cords, which generate unsightly clutter. Tame the fray with this genius device from BlueLounge. They can stick it out of sight—on the back of the dresser, under the desk—and never be bothered by the sight of a cable just, like, sitting there. Out in the open!

These are made for use in the bathroom, where they’re meant to hold toothbrushes and toothpaste. But they work absolutely anywhere some easy, attractive storage is needed. Buy a bunch of them and your loved one can use them to hold hair clips, pens, flowers, business cards, straws, snacks.

Are they always measuring things to make sure the furniture is perfectly placed, the flowers have been placed in the correctly sized vase, and that the boot rises to the correct spot on the leg? Get them this ruler. Designed by the famous architect Le Corbusier (trust me, they love him), the Modulor Rule has traditional metric measurements on one side, and Corbu’s own system of measurement on the other. His unique system uses the proportions of the ideal human body to arrive at a set of measurements meant to be used when designing things for humans. He was a weird one. But they’ll love his fun ruler tape.

If they truly like everything neat—including their booze—then fill their snifter with this limited edition cognac. Blended from 20 different eaux de vie, all at least seven years old, the concoction is aged in young oak barrels, then older oak barrels. What emerges is a lovely cognac that carries the delicious flavors of hazelnuts and vanilla. If you’re lucky, they’ll even share it.

With an angled handle that makes it more comfortable to sweep waist-high surfaces, this dustpan and brush set is ideal for use on the kitchen counter, the coffee station, the desktop, the dining room table, or on the bar. The brush snaps into the dustpan, making it even easier to store.

One thing neat freaks always have on hand: tissues. This gorgeous case conceals the godawful cardboard box most tissues show up in. It’s understated and discreet, just like every one of their sneezes.

Yes, the Kindle and magazines are neatly stacked on their bedside table. But you know they’d rather have them out of sight. This felt caddy restores perfect order. It slots between the mattress and box spring (or between the mattress and bed frame) where it functions like a little pocket.
