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!

CathyLittle says
My Husband and I are trying to organize our retirement information. He had a office that is so full of loose papers this might be the incentive He needs to get organized. I would enjoy the opportunity to help with this overwhelming project. It will be a New Year challenge! Thank you,
Cathy
Roxanne says
I think this would be perfect for organizing my coupons, recipes and menu planning.
Gina says
I already organize everything in binders, but I love that these close with the string instead of the pages getting torn on the three-ring system. I’d use this to organize my upcoming volunteer position as swim team rep.
Karen says
I could see a number of different ways to use this, but I think it would work really well for my husband’s class work. He teaches an evening course that requires him to have everything with him. This would be perfect and he could store it in a file cabinet…that is awesome! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Jamie says
I would use this to organize our manuals and warranties. Right now they are a mess and hard to find. This would be so helpful.
Lauri says
would love to win this binder. I am trying really hard to get organized and stay organized. You are truly an inspiration!
Amber says
I would love this binder to help me get my personal finances organized. I think this would be really beneficial!
Sarah F says
We just bought a house so I would use it to store all the house paperwork we are generating.
Heidi says
This would be a perfect gift for my husband. He is a coach and teacher as well and this binder would be a great way to keep him organized.
Katie Keene says
I homeschool 3 children, and these binders look PERFECT for their portfolios!
julie says
a great way to start the organization process with house, finances, etc!!
Sue says
I love organizing and my friends think I am a very organized person. However, I need all the help I can get. Love the idea of using these for tax season!
April Williams says
I’m so excited, this binder looks awesome! I would use it for getting everything organized for my daughter going off to college in a different state.
Holly F. says
I have recently had to go on a special diet and I would LOVE this to help me keep all my new recipes in one place. Right now I am using a notebook and a lot of floating scraps of paper. What a great idea for a lot of things. 🙂
Lynn says
I would use it for my many lists and important papers!
Melissa C. says
This would be a great binder to keep documents I need for the different committees I serve on because it has a place to keep papers sorted for each committee, and a place to take notes at meetings.
Lori says
I would use it in place of an older accordion folder we currently use. We fill ours with stamps, calculators, bills and countless other things. It definitely has seen better days, but I liked the notebook in the TRIO – I think that is an awesome asset. My husband writes everything down on a tiny piece of paper that is also stored in our binder, but I like the idea of a notebook better!
Christina Anne says
I think I’d use it to organize my household papers (bills/calendars/etc)

I would use this to organize our monthly bills.
Lizanne says
I was just looking at your old post a few days ago about the Duo, thinking it would make a great Christmas gift, and this is even better! I just thought of several people on my list who would love it (including myself!). I would use mine for home decorating ideas, or articles of interest. I think it would also be ideal for my husband, who is now a full-time student.
Nancy says
I would love one of these binders. I volunteer with a Child’s Advocacy group and I really need something like this to keep all my tasks & meeting information organized.
Stephanie H. says
This I would use for this years taxes! It would work perfectly!

I could use these for so many things! I could use them to organize all of our household papers, the kids’ paperwork/artwork, and my classwork (I’m in school to become a teacher). I would love to win one! 🙂

What a great system! One of my goals for winter break is to declutter my home office, including my file cabinet. This binder would be great to help me organize my paperwork.
Leatha says
I would use this for organizing my recipes!
Billie Brock says
I would use this binder to keep my menus for the week in as well as the recipes to be used with it, along with shopping lists for that weeks menu items. Also my lists for specific stores and for other things to keep an eye out for and measurements for the various windows, furniture and other items we need something for. Thanks for offering this great idea, it sure does keep items all together!
