1 Treat your trash like treasure with a round step can in stainless steel. The pop-up plastic lid, sure-fit bags and removable inner bucket give a whole new meaning to Trash Day. Available in assorted colors. $19.99, City Mill (Honolulu), 533-3811.

2 Shed light on your child’s life with the bold colors of a “Bullseye” table lamp. The sturdy stainless steel base, coated electrical cord and canvas lampshade are child-safe and easy to maintain. $39, INspiration Interiors, Pearlridge Center Uptown, 484-0245.

3 Get organized with storage baskets that hold everything from animal-shaped ZooZoo rubber bands, $7.50, to suede pencil sets, $35. Hide them in drawers or stack them on the floor for quick access. Available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, the woven baskets double as great gift wrappers. The fun, bright colors add snap to every child’s room. Baskets, $9 and up, Red Pineapple, Ward Centre, 593-2733.

4 Finally, a magnetic bulletin board that offers the best of both worlds. With ample room for magnet notes and tacked calendar updates, this dual-action board is a must-have for the little kid in all of us. $22.99, City Mill (Honolulu), 533-3811.

5 Shoot for the stars with the sturdy Rocket Stool in red. A layer of cushion provides support, while the tri-legged design is ideal for stow-and-go seating. It’s the perfect size for young children, and its streamlined look means it can function as an ottoman or stool in later years. $99, INspiration Interiors, Pearlridge Center Uptown, 484-0245.
