Congrats to:

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 could use it to keep up with contacts and other household items (like our Christmas address list).

    Wow! Those are nice. I might even be able to see the top of my desk if I used one. 😀 I’m a list maker and with this I’d have somewhere to keep those lists along with greeting cards, school work, recipes, and such. Thanks for the chance!

    With twins heading to college next fall, I’d use the Duo to keep all the college paperwork, financial aid and scholarship applications and senior year activities organized. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Hi Andrea, omg, if you saw my table right now, I would automatically win! ha ha, I tend to keep things filed all over the house, and a lot of things just remain in piles on my table. Not good at all. xo
