Tray works for me!
Color: Llight Gray
Love this little tray! Sits on my desk and helped eliminate some of the visual clutter by consolidating it into one box. I like the quality of the materials too - if I wasn't lazy, I'd uplaod a photo but alas - today, I'm lazy

Perfect!! I’m obsessed!
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Beige
So cute and great for travel! Lots of organization areas, easy to use, very durable and not made cheap, the zipper closes just fine and it’s compact for traveling or storing under the sink.
