I love the holidays, for it's the season for donning our gay apparel and decking the halls with boughs of holly.  It's also the season for making our lists and checking them twice...shopping lists, that is!  During this season, when my to-do list is long and my time seems to be running short, I greatly appreciate any store that can help me spruce up my home as well as cross several items off of my gift giving list.

I had the chance to review one of Initials, Inc.'s gorgeously designed, personalized items and after browsing through their vast catalog, I just knew I had to try the Sort It All Out basket.  This basket comes in a variety of colors, as well as the Vinings pattern, which is what I selected.  I loved this basket for it was so large (30"w x 18"h x 20"d) and could serve a variety of purposes in almost every room of my house.

What's great about this tote is that it has three separate compartments so that you can organize your belongings within the tote itself.  The Sort It All Out basket also folds completely flat for storage and has two sturdy handles on the sides so that you can quickly pick it up and tote it anywhere.

Remove the metal rods and the Sort It All Out folds completely flat!

Just look at all of the many ways you can put the Sort It All Out personalized basket from Initials, Inc. to good use:

• Organize the trunk of your SUV
• Organize bedding and linens in your closet
• Organize toys in your child's room or play room
• Use as a hamper in a child's bedroom with three compartments for sorting light, medium and dark colored clothing
• Store wrapping paper, bows and other assorted gift wrapping supplies
• Clever gift idea to deliver presents to an entire family
• And many more!

Personally, I am using the Vinings Sort It All Out tote to store all of the decorative pillows and throws that go on our bed, when we make it up completely.  Our bedroom is decorated in this same black and white damask pattern and so the Sort It All Out tote matches perfectly and looks great with these additional pillows stored in it.  I hate to admit it, but I don't make our bed completely (with every decorative pillow and such) every day, but generally just for when company comes over.

Now, our bedroom still looks great for my pillows and throws are tucked away neatly inside this personalized tote when not in use.  When company comes and my bed is fully made, I plan on using this tote in our guest bedroom where I will present fresh towels, extra blankets and other assorted goodies using the Sort It All Out tote to make our visitors feel welcome.

Initials, Inc. has some of the cutest personalized handbags, totes and items for the home that I've ever seen.  So if you'd like to knock out your holiday shopping and make your home look wonderful at the same time, then don't hesitate to browse Melynda LeMaire's Initials, Inc. online store.  Personalization is always FREE and your items are guaranteed to look fabulous!
