As you may remember, a few months ago I bought myself a mini gadget folio for work and travel, so I thought it was about time that I showed you all how I use it most frequently! This folio is great because it can fit an iPad mini as well as multiple other gadgets, chords, and other loose items, however, I have stopped using it to house my iPad mini (because I ended up picking up a new iPad mini folio from Kate Spade) and started using it as a quick grab pouch for my bag. This is what you will usually find inside the folio!
What’s Inside
1. A Personal Sized Agenda: Since this folio can hold an iPad mini or other small tablet, its actually perfectly suited for a personal sized notebook or planner! I find that keeping my daily planner in here is a great way to keep my paper planner safe from debris in my bag and means that even if I leave my bag behind, I can take my folio along and have my planner handy!
2. A Pen: Yes, it matches my planner, and Yes, I did plan it that way! A pen is practical for obvious reasons so we don’t need to dwell on this too much!
3. My Earbuds: My new favorite Earbuds are these black skulls that I got from 5 Below! I was worried about the quality when I bought these but they ended up be very reliable. I keep them in my folio to keep them safe from tangling in my bag and also so I can listen to music or a book on tape when I am in a waiting room or have downtime!
4. Business Cards: I like to keep my blog’s business cards in this folio so that they are separate from my work business cards, just in case I meet someone who wants to know the link to my site and social media feeds! You never know when your gonna find a new subscriber!
5. Other Things Not Pictured: At any given moment, this folio can also house my credit cards/cash in case I use it as a wallet (rarely happens but it does happen) and other miscellaneous bits of paper! If I end up carrying just the folio with me, I stick other business cards inside for safe keeping and other papers I may collect fit in fine if I fold them in half!
How do you like my mini folio? Do you happen to use a similar folio in your day-to-day life? What sorts of uses do you get out of yours? Let me know in the comments!
I’m loving my Kate Spade iPad mini folio, but a pouch like this seems like a good way to stash gadget-y odds & ends for work and the like! Super cute and handy 🙂
Which one did you get? Do you have a pic up on your blog/insta?
Hi I love your posts and videos, you are so fun to watch! And great, practical ideas. Question for you, what kind of briefcase, tote do you use for work?
Thanks for the kind words Fran! I actually use the Kate Spade Beau Bag as my briefcase for work! Hope this helps!
That is such a good idea!
I’m gonna do that. Would make organizing my handbag so much easier.
Great! Glad this gave you some inspiration!
