Last year, I featured a REALLY cool product on my blog — the DUO Binder. It’s basically a 3-ring binder and an accordion folder all in one, and Dave and I both use them for a variety of things in our business and personal lives.
Dave uses his binders for his planner, school work, and coaching. I use my binders to store and organize all our important papers, keep track of our various manuals, and corral some of Nora’s craft supplies.
We LOVE these binders!
So I’m sure you can imagine how excited I was when I received a package on my doorstep earlier this fall with the brand new TRIO Binders inside.
These binders are basically just as amazing as the DUO Binders — but they have the added functionality of pop-out hanging tabs that allow you to hang the entire binder in any letter-size filling cabinet. This might sound like a small detail, but if you use your binder to organize any documents you access on a regular basis, keeping them readily available in a filing cabinet is just so handy.
Side Note: I just shared my new filing cabinet makeover yesterday — pop over and take a look!!
And since tax season is right around the corner (and since these binders would make an awesome Christmas gift) I thought it might be the perfect timing for a little TRIO Binder giveaway!!
Just think of all the things you could organize with this binder:
- Recipes and menu plans
- Home improvement information (paint swatches, ideas, invoices, receipts)
- Manuals, warranties, and product information
- Class materials for teachers, students, and parents
- Holiday gift ideas and receipts
- Greeting cards and gift tags
- Travel itineraries
- Photos or memorabilia
- Coupons and shopping lists
- Tax documents
- Kid’s artwork, school projects, report cards, etc.
- Craft supplies, colored papers, stickers, etc.
- and SOOO much more!

This would be great for home finance keeping. Warranties, receipts, rebates, insurances, taxes, etc….. I could do a lot with several of these ………
Aleksandra says
Why is this give away only for US residents? I read your blog from Europe and would love to have such a binder. I have done long research to find one similar to this at our shops. Luckily I found it but waiting time was 2 weeks. I have not ordered it due to long waiting time and until now I do not have it.
I need such a binder to definitely clean all mess with the papers I have and to keep it organized. Once it arrive it will go to defined place and once it is solved, it will go to normal binder where I have all home management.
Just short remark the binders I saw only have pockets to fill with paper, did not have any ring binder to put notes on it.
Thanks anyway for giving information about it.

Kathi says
I like the idea of using this to organize “kid stuff”. I can see using one of these for each year of school to keep memories; it would keep me from keeping too much stuff while giving me the ability to keep important and fun things to look at again in the future.
kay says
This sounds like it could keep me organized – a major feat! I would use it to keep track of all my daughter’s school work, activities and sports. I could take it with me so I have everything I need all the time.
Debra M says
I’m a long-distance caregiver. I would use it to keep my mom’s most important papers that I usually need when traveling. If I am needed immediately, all I have to do is grab it and go. I love the sorting part — I can put new paperwork there by category until I can deal with it so it is all in one place. It would make things so convenient. What a great product!
Jill says
I love this binder! I am in the process of going through my files and organizing them, purging and assessing what I need to keep and how to organize it all – this would make a great addition to my hanging file folder system and I would use it to keep all my important documents in
Amy says
I am in the midst of a file cabinet overhaul. I could use this a hundred different ways!
Sidney Smith says
The first thought that came to my mind was using them with recipes that I have collected online and have printed out. A good place to store those I have not tired yet.
Then my mind raced to all the other uses for them. These are great. Have never seen them before Thanks for sharing them.
Heidi says
These would be great for organizing all the stuff I have for leading two Girl Scout Troops!!
Martina Vilton says
I would use these binders for my homemanagement purposes.
