I was so frustrated that ever time I reached for a travel cup, they all fell down like bowling pins! Sound familiar? I also didn’t like the clutter of all my tea boxes and packets. With just a few inexpensive supplies I will share how to organize your travel cups, tea, and drink mixes.
These were our travel cups. They were a mess and were always getting knocked over no matter how many times I tried to organize them.
I found these book bins at Walmart. They even hook together keeping them really solid.
I gave each family member a bin.
Now everything stays in it’s place.
Friends would come over and want tea, but what a pain to take out all the boxes…
I got these bins at the Dollar Tree
I pulled everything out and got to work.
My top bin contained loose teas, box teas that aren’t individually wrapped, sugar, and my tea steeper that I got for Christmas.
My bottom bin contained all the individual wrapped teas, immune drinks, & water flavor packets. As this dwindles down I’m planning on getting my hot chocolate packets in here as well – we were just extra stocked from Christmas.
Now they stack on the shelf above the travel cups. When friends come over I just pull the trays out.

Thank you Lauren, I was so tired of them falling over every time I went to grab one 🙂
wow! great job! I need to do this with my coffee/tea cupboard. thank you for the tips and the inspiration. I’m going to tackle this over weekend.
Thank you Linda and I’m so pleased you want to give it a try 🙂
Great idea! I love getting things organized. I did a couple of cupboards but need to do more. This inspires me to use more baskets. This is kind of what I did with my spice jars. I organized them by type of use (baking spices, etc.) and up labels in alphabetical order on the front of the baskets. It’s so much easier to find things now. 🙂
put labels in alphabetical order – not up labels..
Oh Linda, I think we are a lot of alike 🙂 I have my spices labeled too. I don’t have them alphabetized though, I would go through all the work and then my husband who likes to cook would get in there and mix it all up.
My spices are divided between those that are generally used in sweet things and those generally used in savory things and then in alphabetical order. Works very well, especially since I’m the only one using them!
Chas, this is a grand idea! I’ve been planning on organizing my drinks cupboard, and this is just the motivation I needed. There are just two of us, but I love that you have five baskets, one for each of you, for travel cups.
Thank you Jean, it made me smile that we organize alike and that you are inspired from this post.
Divide and conquer, it’s definitely the way to go. Don’t you just love using a cupboard or drawer once it is all organised like this. 🙂
Thank you Julie and you are so right. I don’t dread finding things and I smile knowing I accomplished it. 🙂
I love the bins for the travel mugs. I need to do the same thing since we have quite the collection of travel mugs too. Thanks for sharing your organizing ideas on Merry Monday.
Thank you Erlene, and I hope this idea helps you as much as it has helped me. Thanks for stopping by.
