Which of these cords is for the video camera?
What happened to that extra USB cord?
How can I find what I'm looking for in this drawer of black cords that all look alike?
Have you ever said or thought any of the above?
If yes...I have the perfect solution for you!
After all, us Hip Chicks don't have the time to riffle through our miscellaneous drawers in order to find that charger for the old cell phone or the ipod charger.
I got so tired of trying to find my camera cord amongst all the other black cords in my drawer. That I decided to create tags to label my cords.
What you'll need: Tags with strings (or make your own), stamp, ink and sharpie pen
You can buy premade white tags with little strings at the office store, or you can make your own. Either will work. I prefer the smaller tags, so they don't add to the cluttered look of my cord drawer.
I stamp on one side, then using a thin sharpie, I write which cord and to what device it goes to.
Now you'll always be able to find the cord you need right away!

What a clever idea. You can't tell some of those cords apart unless you try plugging everyone of them in to the end of the item you're trying to charge. And then when you upgrade a phone, you're never sure which cords can be disposed of. Thanks for sharing!
