    dumb question, is everyone elses bedside draw full of… junk? I’ve got cables, old watches that still work but I rarely wear, headphones, but nothing I actually use? Theres no better place for some of it, but it ends up being a draw full of rarely used stuff.

      Yep I’ve got a bedside table draw full of tangled random cables and my Kindle lives in there too. Somehow I can pick out the cable I need without too much fuss, but it def could be tidied up. It’s on the list to do someday.

      I don’t have bedside draws, but the bottom draw in the kitchen is where I store that stuff, and other bits and pieces (a screwdriver, tape, an N95 mask, the tapes things from the wall hanging hooks from woolies, a figurine of Shaymin (Pokemon) and I think Meowth)

      I don’t have bedside drawers. There’s a jewellery box on top of a kinda shoe rack. The “junk” is mostly in the study/guest room, some sorted and classified, some just dumped with later intentions.

      Haven’t got bedside drawers but my bedside table is actually my daughter’s desk, which is too small for her to use effectively as a desk anymore. It sits in between her bed and mine and functions as both our bedside tables. As well as random desky things it displays an odd assortment of children’s books and toys, moisturising lotions and lip balms. Inside the single cupboard of the desk are some books I like to keep near me (like the Tao the Ching, which I read, and a family hymn book, which I don’t). I also keep a spare phone there. Mostly there is a selection of old exercise books the kids did school work in during the early years in the before times, when nobody had anxiety or school refusal and they were enthusiastic about learning and school in general. They were golden times and I didn’t realise it, and sometimes I get some of those books out and read some of their crazy imaginative stories and think about it all.
