BOX4BLOX

In trying to reclaim floor space in our son's bedroom, we bought this colorful cube composed of four stackable trays and a lid. Three of the trays have open grids of differing sizes, and together, they function as a phenomenal pickup, sorting (by size) and storage solution for Lego bricks. You just scoop the bricks up (our son has a dustpan that's dedicated just for Lego duty), dump them into the top tray and shake away. The smallest bricks sift down to the bottom level; each higher tray retains slightly larger bricks. At this point you can either further sort each tray by color and dump them into storage bins or just put on the lid. The cube itself is 10ΒΌ" on a side and purports to hold approximately 1500-1700 Lego bricks.
BOX4BLOX has been instrumental for well over a year now in keeping our son's collection of several thousand Lego bricks in some semblance of order and reasonably clear of his bedroom floor. So we sent one to our nephew for Christmas last year. In my son's eyes, as well as mine, BOX4BLOX really is a transformative tool— one that elevates a dreary task into something that's actually fun to do (and done well).

I had one of these as a Kid, and it was great. Not only is it easy to use (stuff all the stuff is the top), but the automatic sorting meant that finding the piece you wanted was easy.
I'm pretty sure that in one dark corner in my parent's garage, the Box4Blox is still there.

Do they something like this for socks? I just did laundry yesterday and spent most of the time sorting socks.
:D
Don't refer me to some kind of clip you have to put on before you throw it in the hamper. Too much work and I'd need 100 of those clips.

My solution for the LEGO storage problem was to create an entire room devoted only to LEGO's and Star Wars as seen in these pics @

It's a very popular room in our household according to my son's.
