How To Organize Random Small Office Supplies

Many of us have a home “office”.

Maybe it’s a corner of your living room.

Maybe it’s half of your den.

My parents had one of those secretary things that looked like a hutch with a desk that pulled down, like a Murphy Bed.

I have two Ikea tables on legs that I got on clearance at Office Max, before they officially deserted Long Island *sniff*. There’s a lot of room (and a lot of mess!) and it needs to be tidy because not finding things upsets me greatly.

So what do I do?

Organize.

Yup. I’m in the process of reorganizing my entire desk. Thanks to Tomoson, I found a chance to try the Lasten Plastic Organizer Box at a big discount in exchange for a review and social media posts.

Here’s the case.

I have used cases like this before. Mini has her beads in one.

For the purpose of this review, I used it to sort my small office supplies. More specifically, paper clips and push pins. They kinda need to be sorted by color because I use them based on the color of whatever I’m hanging up or whatever document I’m clipping together. This Lasten case was the perfect solution!

I know what you’re thinking.. “who has THAT many push pins and paper clips?”

Answer? THIS GUY!

All 36 compartments were used! Feast your eyes on this:

I told you! Sorry.. the lighting in my house is horrible, but you get the idea. Lots of different colors for color-coordinating things (for instance, all my St Patrick’s Day signs that I leave up year-round are on green push pins).

I had one TINY gripe with the box.. the dividers.

You see, they come stuck together like this:

They were not ready to be separated so I had to cut them, but at least they still fit snugly when I put them back in the case and you are able to remove them for larger items.

Once the lid was on, there was a tight enough seal that none of the pins or clips floated to another part. I even shook it to be sure. The clips didn’t slide underneath the barriers either. Score!

It’s a great size (it even fits in my messenger bag if I need to transport) and stores easily on my shelf.

It has plenty of room for all the clips and pins, PLUS I just eliminated 7 tiny jars and boxes from my desk! YAY!

The case is just smaller than a legal size notepad, as you can see from the last pic. I highly recommend it. I do intend on acquiring more to sort out all the little supplies I have around my desk because it’s time to organize!

Thanks to Lasten and Tomoson for the opportunity to test this awesome case out!
