Organizher by Mead Review & Target $25 GC Giveaway!

Sometimes products appear at just the right time. This was the case with the Organizher by Mead products. Although “gotta get organized” always seems to be on my to-do list, I was actually looking for something specific to track finances and receipts. I found exactly what I needed with Expandable Filer and the Expense Tracker. Now, if I can just be mentally organized to continue to use my products!

Organizher is Mead’s new line of products designed with women in mind, “Organizher™offers functional, flexible, fashionable products designed with the modern household in mind.”

There is no doubt these products were designed with women in mind because they are so cute! Bye bye solid, dark, boring colors normally associated with organizational products, hello fashionable teal and orange. I am a sucker for cute paper products, I loved these from the moment I saw them.

In addition to the products mentioned above, I also received an On-The-Go Memo Book, a Family To-Do Notepad and a Shopping Companion. I know TheSuburbanMom readers will love the Shopping Companion — in it’s tabbed sections, it holds perforated pages to write your shopping lists, pockets to hold coupons and plastic sleeves to hold reward cards. The binder is completed with Mead’s Lock It (R) rings that easily open and close so pages can be added or removed. And get this, you can download the template for the pages at Mead.com when you run out. (Of course they won’t be perfed, but still!) Oh, and the “book” has little elastic bands to hold it closed. Hello – now, that’s a woman thinking about this thing getting thrown in her bag and falling apart. Good stuff.

Buy it – Mead’s Organizher products are available at Target.

Win it – Mead has generously provided one lucky TheSuburbanMom reader with a set of the products I received (Expandable Filer, Expense Tracker, On-The-Go Memo Book, Family To-Do Notepad and Shopping Companion) AND a $25 Gift Card to Target!

Mandatory Entry — Visit the product detail sheet and leave a comment here telling me what product would be your fav and why. (Note – the link appears to be down right now, so just tell me which of the products I mentioned you would be most excited to receive and why.)

    I like the Magnetic Calendar Center because it will help me keep track on things to do with my child and it let’s me erase things.

    I would like the Shopping Companion the best. It is a unique item that as far as I know, no other paper or organization line of products offers. I have a coupon organizer that looks like a booklet with small file pockets, but this looks like it is a step up from that. I like that it also contains space where I can make notes and shopping lists, as well as coupons and rewards cards.

    Our teens are now both working and have school activities so with those 2 things and their social lives, I can’t keep track of who is where and when they will be home. The Week to Week Magnetic Notepad would help me get organized and I would worry less, knowing where they are at all times!

    I like the Shopping Companion the best because it’d be extremely helpful for my sister. She always makes a shopping list and carries coupons, and when she gets a receipt, she puts it in her wristlet, which takes up a lot of space after a while.
