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!

If I win one I would use it at work. However, I think I may buy some and slowly begin organizing my files at home.
Sandy says
Oops! I guess I didn’t read the fine print from your request about how I’d used the binder. As I mentioned in my earlier comment, I’m hoping to get control of my paper clutter and would love to create a binder like you’ve made of all your important documents, papers, etc. so if someone needed to take over for me, it would be at their finger tips.
Gloria C. says
I just moved into my new home and I would use mine to organize all my papers.
Sandy says
I LOVED your post yesterday and also checked out some previous posts you’ve had on eliminating/cutting back on paper clutter. You’ve inspired me yet again and I would LOVE to win one of these binders. Hopefully I can start off the new year right and make 2014 the year I conquer the paper clutter monster once and for all!! Thanks for all your valuable tips that make me feel like it’s a ‘do-able’ goal. ๐
Staci says
I would use it as a place for my personal organizer, prayer organizer as well as a place for my household management information. It would be great to have all three things in handy one place!
Brenda Turner says
I would love to have one to organize my Bible study, reading lists, and to do lists!
Betty S. says
I would use these to organize all our important papers and info. Also would like to have one for manuals and product information. These sound great
Sheri says
I have a thousand uses for these but probably would start with financial stuff. I could venture out from there and do household items and serial numbers and instruction manuals. And so on…
Bonnie says
I could really use three of them. I would use one for me self to organize all our finances and important information. The others would be used for each of my two sons for them to organize their affairs. They are in their early twenties and this would be good to keep them organized.
Anita says
Definitely would start with work use…can really use this system as a community social worker.
Gray S. says
My husband and I are over the road truck drivers and
I’ve been looking for something to hold receipts and
paperwork. It looks very efficient… Not a lot of room in
the truck. Thanks
TJ says
I’d use it to organize my recipes. Right now I have one file drawer of folders with recipes to try and a binder of tried and true recipes. With a trio I could have those in one place and free up an entire file drawer!
Theresa M. says
I would use it to store all of our important family documents. What a great giveaway!
Bethany says
I would try to organize my three boys!!!
Vanessa says
I would use the binders as a way to organize all of my Girl Scout paperwork. This would be great. Right now I have an expandable folder, a binder and the Girls Binder. This would be so helpful.
Janis S says
I’ve been out of work for almost 2 years, so this would help me organize all my job search and assistance papers.
Sasha says
I’m job-hunting – would use the TRIO to organize my search!
Amy Downing says
I will use it to organize my bills, receipts, and related paperwork. Right now I am looking at the overflowing 3 ring binder I use for this and just imaging how much better this could be using the TRIO!
Melissa says
I was just cleaning my files this weekend and shredding documents. I would use these to continue to organize the various papers that seem to collect in my files each year.
Bridget says
This looks Great for a Homeschooling mom. I would love to use the binder each day to group the weekly work and projects I do with my daughter for her homeschooling. I could divide the binder and the accordion with daily activities for her and it would keep us organized to have fun schooling on the go.
Fabulous!
Lisa W. says
I would give it to my husband to keep track for the bills. He is a truck driver, so that is his one job to do when he is home. And the desk looks like a tornado hit it. I don’t know how he can find anything. Thanks so much!
kathy says
I would love to have one of these binders to store my important papers that I use regularly. It would be great to have something handy on my desk to grab that has all the summary information in one place.
Maritza says
I’ll be using them to organize piicture, greeding cards, craft paper
sharon says
I would use this very cool binder to organize my cooking stuffs and recipes.

I just started building a family binder to organize calendars, financial info, etc. new to the Stray-at-home-mom thing, I’m trying to to get it in gear for the new year!

I have a toddler too, so organizing my stuff in one section & his in the other would be great!

Heather says
How cool!! I would use this to help organize our finances and meal planning!
Laura Horn says
These are so neat. I’ve never come across anything quite like this. I would use them for all of our household papers (receipts, bills, tax papers, etc.). Would love to win one!
Candis says
I would use my binder to organize all the important document I have and can never find.
I am a paper keeper – I refrained from hoarder. I like my paper but I hate the clutter
“Must not print” ๐
Dana says
I have a recipe organization project this winter. This would work great!
Jessica hanson says
I would love to give this to my husband to help him with all his work papers and notes. He has been complaining about his current one.

Gail L. says
I would use it to organize my upcoming retirement!
Sherry L says
We homeschool 3 kids ages 16, 11 & 4. These binders would be a great way to organize our history lessons & other unit studies for each semester.
Dorothy Tegeler says
I’m organizing familly photos and scanning. I would use to keep track of what has already been scanned and what’s up next.
Lynda says
I would use it to file household paperwork that I access frequently. Right now we have a file cabinet in our office for all our paperwork but I find that papers I need to access more frequently don’t always get put back in the file cabinet :0! They end up on top of the file cabinet until I get so frustrated by the sight of it all that I end up doing something about it. I think this would prove very useful :)!
