Lightbulb Bobbin storage/organization

How do you do it? I've tried the pipe cleaners and doohickeys that hold a bobbin to the spool and never liked them. So my current is to use bobbin boxes and label them with the content and brand and if a color is so close I can't tell if it's the same, it's close enough for my project. I figure as long as the content is right, I'm fine. I sew quilts, bags and clothes so I have cotton, poly, and cotton covered poly. I use gutermann (both cotton and poly), coats cotton/poly (if I can't find the right color in gutermann), aurifil and some connecting threads that I'm using up. I have my bobbins in these dritz cases that have foam to keep them from spilling out and I labeled them with the brand and content. I need to get at least one more case but I'm keeping them in this desktop cube (pattern from sew sweetness). So far I've been really happy with this method.
