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!

I wish I had 3 of these. One for my personal stuff. One for my executive position on my school PAC and another for my executive position for my District Pac. What a really clever product. This is a need not a want.

We’re about to have our first (loooong awaited!) baby and I’ve been looking for something like this to file all the baby info and important docs that are starting to add up already. I haven’t seen these in any of the stores – they look perfect!
Donna G says
I would use it to keep all of my important stuff in the same place where it could be found should something happen to me. I already used your template to help my mom organize her stuff for me as her executor, and I should probably do the same thing for myself.

I am a teacher so the uses for school are endless! ๐

Receipts, spelling lists, coupons… and the list could go on and on!

I’d use it to store my planner, my son’s school flyers about upcoming events, and all of the other thing I reach for or need to look up on a daily basis – his sports schedule, upcoming fundraisers, sales flyers/coupons, etc. These look awesome!
Kristin says
I would use it to keep my Girl Scout Troop’s info all in order and then only have one folder to grab when I head to a meeting!
melissa says
i was just thinking ‘oh no! i already bought one of these!’ but…but! I could use another one! I just realized that I could use the one we already have for our important stuff, and I could use another one (two more even) to organize the girls school stuff all year round and really clear off this desk for good. In fact…maybe i need to win two! ๐
Christy says
I would put all of the important papers in one place.

her school payment information.

Gosh, the possibilities are endless but I would probably start using it for a medical file. My daughter has some serious medical issues that I need to keep records of so the TRIO would be perfect for storing all her information in one place!
Courtney says
I work with the family business and this would def help keep us all on top of where things were filed! Love the new addition for hanging in a filing cabinet.
Lou says
I would use it to create an organized unit of everything necessary to handle my affairs if something happened to me. Today is my 59th birthday. Since I’m another year closer I think I should stop procrastinating and get this task done!

Awesome! This looks so cool. I’m in the midst of setting up a “kitchen command center” and this would work well!
Doreen T. says
I would use it to organize my medical records and receipts.

I teach online from home and I would use this to organize my papers. I don’t need a whole desk or filing cabinet dedicated to my work but I have been looking for a way to keep my papers near me and have a place to write notes. This would be perfect!
Monica says
This travel to the student’s home piano teacher thinks this would be perfect to keep her organized!
Rose Krueger says
I would file our family important medical records, receipts that need to be held on to until next tax season, car info, big ticket item receipts. This would be my “portable file cabinet”.
Gwen says
I would use this to help stay organized for taxes!

I use this binder for my bills and financial papers.

I would use it to organize my home like you have. Time to clean out the filing cabinet!
