Who doesn't love affordable (& adorable) organizers? (I know I do!)

Ever since I got my organizing utility tote from Thirty-One (the plastic open-top file box (the medium size) is from The Container Store), I have been in love with their products. My other favorite product is the fold-n-go organizer. (See my previous posts here.)

Now through November 20, I'm hosting a Thirty-One party online for friends, family, and readers. You can score some really incredible organizers for yourself or for holiday gifts. (I know I'd be thrilled if someone purchased any of the Thirty-One products for me as a gift!)

Through November 22 there's a special on the Littles Carry All Caddy - when you spend $31, you can get a Littles Caddy for just $1 ($12 value). I have one and think it's adorable - plus there are so many uses for it! They are truly a great caddy to give a gift in (a plant, an assortment of items such as pampering products, etc). Here are just a handful that I've come up with.

electronics cables/chargers

receipts

in the bathroom: free samples

in the bathroom: hair brushes/accessories

in the kitchen: spice/seasoning packets

candy/treats

If you want to shop through my party, you can do so online through November 22. If you do make a purchase through me, my wonderful consultant, Jessica, has offered to give buyers a $5 credit (on a future purchase) to off-set the drop-ship fee of $4. You can join Jessica's Thirty-One Facebook group to hear about the new monthly specials. (Thanks, Jessica!)

  16. I would really love the 5th ave purse. The $145 pricetag is a bit of a pipe dream right now though!

    On the more reasonable side, I'd love an organizer tote or the purse with skirts!

  36. Thanks for this giveaway! My favorite is a tie between the Organizing Utility Tote, I had no idea it was so inexpensive (25$, seriously?) and the Thermal Zipper Tote, would be perfect for picniks! I'm curious, is the 4$ shipping also if you'd ship to Canada? If not, then how much would it be? Because I'm considering getting something!

    I was looking through the catalog about a week ago. I couldn't believe I'd never heard of this company before as it is right up my alley! I was drooling over pretty much every page. Since I'm always looking for a good way to organize papers on the go, the utility tote is probably actually my favorite.
