A solution for "pocket clutter."

One of my pet peeves is "pocket clutter." You know the clutter that is created when you (or your significant other...cough cough)  walk through the door and dump your wallet, cell phone, keys, etc. onto the table or counter. It just looks messy and before long you get those same nagging questions, " have you seen my keys, wallet, piece of paper, etc. I thought I put them down somewhere..." Yep kind of annoying. It was happening WAY too much in our household so I put my foot down one day and came up with a solution. His and hers baskets. Pretty basic, just two baskets placed by the door to dump all that "stuff" we keep in our pockets or wallets.
 I just took two baskets we had lying around the house, labeled them, and voila a solution to our "pocket clutter!" Gone are the days we frantically search for our belongings as we rush out of the house PHEW!

We placed them on this console table right by the door so as we come in we drop our stuff in and it's there when we need it!
I love finding easy solutions that work for our family and would love to hear some solutions you've come up with to solve your daily annoyances!
