A stand may include a plurality of cells, each cell having an outer wall, an inner wall, a bottom edge, and a top edge separated from the bottom edge by a height. A perimeter of the outer wall may include a first plurality of segment, and a perimeter of the inner wall may include a second plurality of segments. Each segment in the second plurality of segments may be substantially parallel to a corresponding segment in the first plurality of segments. The cells may be arranged such that the bottom edge of each cell is aligned to a bottom plane, and the cells may be further arranged in at least a first row and a second row, wherein cells in the first row are lower in height than cells in the second row. Adjacent cells may be coupled to each other with a spacing connector that maintains separation therebetween.

A system and method for holding and sanitizing handheld implements. The system uses a container filled with a body of open cell foam. The body of the open cell foam has hollow shafts formed therein for holding the implements. The hollow shafts in the body of open cell foam are accessible through the open top of the container. A volume of a liquid disinfectant is poured into the container. The liquid disinfectant is at least partially absorbed by the body of open cell foam. This moistens the walls of the hollow shafts with disinfectant. As handheld implement is inserted into a hollow shaft, it is physically wiped and coated with the liquid disinfectant without being submerged in liquid disinfectant. When the implement is drawn out of the tubular shaft, it is clean, sanitized and ready to use without the need to dry.

The marker rotation and retention device maintains multiple markers together, making it easier for a user to maintain the markers as a set. Optionally, the marker rotation and retention device includes angular rotation stops that are able to hold the angular position of specific marker with respect to its neighbors. This allows the user to easily withdraw and replace a specific marker by keeping the entrance to the cap exposed.

A storage and presentation device for storing and presenting a plurality of longitudinal hand held implements, the storage and presentation device presenting a plurality of supports, each support being configured to support one longitudinal hand held implement, all of the supports being mounted to be rotatable about a common axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal directions of the longitudinal hand held implements when they are supported by the supports. The storage and presentation device presenting a storage position in which the angle between all of the supports about the axial direction is less than 2, and a presentation position in which, for all of the supports, the angle between two adjacent supports about the axial direction is greater than or equal to 5.

A water tray assembly with storage functions is suitable for use in combination with a plant pot and a stationery product, and includes: a water tray, a lateral wall and an annular catchment wall, a catchment basin defined by the bottom surface and the annular catchment wall, and a storage space, wherein the storage space includes an opening, and a positioning protrusion protrudes from the catchment basin. A storage tray is mounted on the water tray to seal the opening, and includes a catchment hole in communication with the catchment basin. The storage tray includes holding apertures in communication with the storage space, the plant pot is inserted through the catchment hole and placed on the annular catchment wall, the positioning protrusion is pressed against the plant pot, and the stationery product is inserted through the holding apertures into the storage space.

A writing instrument organizer (10) which holds at least one writing instrument such as a pen or marker (42) and retains the lid (40) within the organizer (12) when the marker (42) is withdrawn. At least one hole (18) is located in a front plate (12) which is held parallel at a distance from a back plate (14) by end caps (16). The lid retention hole (18) in the front plate (12) is sized so that a standard marker or pen lid (42) cannot slip through when a marker (40) is pulled away from the organizer (10). The end plates (16) connect the back plate (14) to the front plate (12) and ensure the marker lid (42) is properly seated in the lid retention hole (18) in front plate (12).
