This acrylic collator is great for a number of things. My favorite way to use it is to organize clutches or small handbags. It is great for keeping thin bags that can’t sit up on their own up right. Not only does this make for a beautiful display, but you are more likely to use what you can see. Another way I like to use it is as a charging station. If you live in a household with multiple devices, phones, tablets, even laptops, this can become the hub for all your charging needs. It is also a great way to store the items when they are not in use. The thing that comes to mind for most people when they see this item is to use it for sorting files or mail and it is great for both of those purposes. Whether you use each section for a different person’s mail or for different categories you are bound to stay organized with the collator in your life.

A label maker is your best friend. It may seem like an unnecessary step, why can’t I just hand write my folder names you might ask, but I can guarantee it will make life simpler. Having the same clear font, same color, and a high contrast background will make finding that file you are looking for much easier. Your eyes won’t have to work as hard! Scribbled tabs that you’re not really sure what they say can make you want to give up and takes more time out of your already busy day. Speaking of busy, if you are a mom and need help cleaning nothing makes it clearer for kids or significant others where something belongs like a label. The label machine above is inexpensive and user-friendly. I use it for my files as well as spice containers.
