Today is Dave’s birthday (he’s 31 — which is much older than me!) so in honor his birthday, I’m sharing one of HIS favorite organizing tools.

First of all, I do know that I’m extremely lucky to have a very clean, neat, and organized husband. And even though I take some of the credit for helping him to be more organized… I will also admit that he’s been neat and organized from the day I met him.

He’s actually so organized that he makes his own planner every year to use for school, coaching, and all his many other activities (looks like we are both quite particular about our planners!)

This summer, as he was preparing to head back to school, I got a package in the mail with a few Duo 7-Pocket Accordion File Binders.  I was immediately intrigued by the binders because they were essentially two organizing tools in one compact unit.

I showed Dave (who was equally impressed) and the next thing I knew, he had “stolen” the Duo binders from my side of the desk and proceeded to fill them with his homemade planner, school papers, student council information, coaching plans, etc.

My new organizing tools were gone — and I wasn’t going to get them back!

Thankfully I explained that my husband was hogging our Duo’s… and they sent me another one for an important project I’m working on — I’m planning to share more about this after the New Year.

See how full my Duo is already!

This multitasking tool is a fabulous way to manage all of your papers, projects, ideas, and more.

Binder Features:

  • 7-Pocket Accordion File with customizable tabs
  • Sized to fit papers up to 8.5″ x 11″
  • 1-inch 3-Ring Binder
  • Elastic bands hold the binder and accordion file closed

Here are just a few ideas of what you could use your Duo for…

  • Recipes and menu plans
  • Home improvement information (paint swatches, ideas, invoices, receipts)
  • Class materials for teachers, students, and parents
  • Holiday gift ideas and receipts
  • Travel itineraries
  • Photos
  • Coupons and shopping lists
  • Tax documents
  • Kid’s artwork, school projects, report cards, etc.
  • and SOOO much more!

Dave and I use our binders every single day — and there aren’t many organizing products I can say that about. Plus, the DUO retails for around $15, so I’m thinking it might just be the perfect little add-on for a bunch of people on your Christmas list this year!

If you or anyone you know could use this handy organizing tool, I would highly recommend entering today’s giveaway!

    I would absolutely use that for my home binder, with the pockets for recipes I pull out of magazines/print out until I try them.

  3. Kat says

    I love organization tools. I would probably use this either to help organize my crafting or baking ideas and plans. Thanks for the opportunity!

  5. Debbie Hansen says

    Documents from FEMA and insurance for my parents home which was partially destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

  7. Deb says

    I would give it to my dh to take to all his Leadership meetings………

  8. Rebecca says

    Court & tax documents for an estate I am handling. The paper mountain is insane.

  10. Jessi @ Practically Functional says

    Oh my gosh how useful are those! I have a binder that I use to organize blog things (schedule, post ideas, giveaways, etc.) and a separate folder to hold onto receipts etc. I would totally use the DUO to combine the two and have it all in one place!

  14. DEBBIE says

    I think I would like to try to use it to keep track of our expenses and paying off dept!
    Looks like a good way to keep our goals organized.

  15. Christy says

    I have never seen those!! If I had, I’d be using them already and making my children use them for school! It’s such a task to get teenagers to be organized! 🙂 ha ha I think I would share with my oldest daughter and try to help her organize her school papers if I won! 🙂

  17. Lynn says

    I would use this to organize the drawings/crafts the kiddos bring home from school. Thank you for the opportunity!

  20. Amy says

    Bills or maybe to organize the home project i’m working on. Maybe the craft projects i’m working on? So many choices!

  21. Nichole says

    Awesome giveaway! This would be a perfect tool to organize my homeschool planning.

  24. Kellie R. says

    This looks like it would be great to bring some organization into my chaos!

  28. Cherie says

    I would use it for bills and the paper clutter that seems to live on the dining room table.

  30. Becky says

    Love it! I’d use it for my tax info. I’d also give one or two away – what a great teacher gift idea!

  32. Dawn H says

    I would use the DUO as part of my tiny office and try to keep a better handle on all the paper/bills that are constantly erupting on my desk!

  36. Ruth M says

    I would use this for a home improvement binder, using the notebook area for ideas (pictures) and the file folders for receipts, estimates from contractors, etc. I’d LOVE to win one!

    Happy Birthday, Dave! (My husband’s name is Dave too.)

  37. Melanie says

    I think I would use it to keep my bills organized. I’m thinking my sister-in-law would love this also – might have to think about getting her one!

  38. Mel says

    I would use one DUO for personal and the other DUO for work. Those could become awesome tools for organizing all my various tasks!
