Ali Edwards keeps her mini albums in baskets around the house, that's where I got the idea from
We have a big square coffee table, but the top is glass. So people come over and are like "oh hey I wonder what this is?" and pull out the basket and look through them all. I love it
I use tags to distinguish my albums. Tie it around the top most post or ring, and then let it dangle outside down the spine. Looks cute, and it's effective. Just write whatever you want on the tag to say what's inside.
