Best Taobao Products For Home Organisation
1. Foldable Trolley Storage

It can be tough finding a piece of furniture that’s versatile enough to be a makeshift bookshelf, a snack trolley, or even a toiletries shelf. Retaining all the good bits from the OG Ikea shelves, like the spaciousness of its baskets and its sleek design, this trolley amps it up with an added benefit: It’s foldable. Simply tuck it away when you no longer need it around — a dream for space-conscious and mindful shoppers!
Price: From ¥49 (~S$10.10)
Available in 4 different colours. Purchase yours here.
2. Portable Collapsible Basin
Walk into any Singaporean home and you’ll find at least one pail hidden under a sink or tucked away in the corner of the washroom. Pails and bins play a big role in our lives, but one thing’s for sure: they’re pretty damn hard to store.
Enter Taobao and their knack for problem-solving.

Meet the foldable, collapsible pail. It has a similar look to that of the collapsible lunch boxes by Stojo, except that this one is big enough for you to wash your clothes — yet modest enough for washing vegetables in the kitchen sink (separately of course). A good in-between, if you ask me!
When not in use, simply collapse it and tuck it away neatly in any nook and cranny of your home.
