Hexagon Board Game Trays Make Perfect Magnetic Desk Organizers - Yanko Design

"Most of us end up using whatever is at hand as a catch-all: coffee cups, candle lids, random bowls, and that works until you actually need to find a specific SD card or binder clip. A lot of the best small organizers are hiding in other categories, and these magnetic hexagon token trays, sold as board game accessories, are really just well-designed hexagonal dishes with magnets and dividers."

"Each tray is a hexagon with magnets hidden in its edges so it snaps to its neighbors in a honeycomb. You can build a cluster that fits the corner of a monitor stand or the space in front of a keyboard, then peel one off and move it closer when you need it. The magnets keep the layout coherent instead of letting dishes drift apart over time, which is a small but meaningful improvement over loose containers."

"Each unit is a two-part organizer, a black magnetic base, and a colored insert that drops in. The insert ships with two dividers, a straight one that splits the tray into two sections and a Y-shaped one that splits it into three. You can run it as one big bin, two equal compartments, or three wedges, depending on whether you are holding paper clips, sticky-note flags, or three different pen nibs."

"The color options for the inserts let you treat the trays as a visual system. You can assign colors to categories, blue for tech bits, yellow for writing tools, red for things that need attention, or just build a small rainbow that makes the corner of your desk feel more like a layout than a pile. The black bases keep everything grounded, so the color reads as an accent, not chaos."

Magnetic hexagon token trays are hexagonal dishes with hidden edge magnets that snap together into customizable honeycomb clusters. Each unit comprises a black magnetic base and a colored insert that drops in, with two dividers: one straight for two sections and a Y-shaped for three wedges. The colored inserts enable color-coded organization while the black bases visually ground the system. The trays are 3D-printed in PLA with embedded magnets, offering light weight, a satisfying snap, and a textured surface that prevents small items from sliding. The magnetic connections keep the layout coherent and resist drifting on smooth desks.
