What Do You Keep In Yours?

[RLABC]

We bought 2 (quite pricey, for us) pairs of bedside chest of drawers to finish ours and one of the guest bedrooms off, yey! Only now I haven't a clue what to put in ours. My husband can do what he wants with his (it'll be empty for months, guaranteed ) but I want to use mine, after insisting for 9 months that we NEEEEEED bedside units, I've got to!

We have a dressing room for the bulk of our clothes and a tallboy unit in our room for undies, socks, pyjamas etc. That's on the side of the room near the door so I get dressed/undressed that side if I do it in the bedroom. My bed side is near the balcony doors, no need or want to get dressed/undressed there.
So, I have no idea what to fill the drawers with. Inspire me please. What's in yours?

Mine's full of jewellery, I like to keep them in boxes not in a proper jewellery box.

Dh's is full of old receipts, old phone chargers and a ridiculous amount of 1p's, 2p's and 5p's from emptying his pockets every night!!

I'm very envious of you all with that extra storage. My DH and I have never managed to settle on specific sides of the bed, so I could end up either side. We therefore just have stupid little tables with a few bits on and I move my stuff as I need to. That's odd, isn't it? I've never found any other couples who do this so IRL I try to never mention it as it always causes a drama (obviously I work somewhere where nothing much ever happens!)

DH keps his socks and boxers in his.

Mine's empty...haven't got around to putting anything in it yet, 2 years down the line

Middle drawer has underwear and wool bobble remover.
Bottom drawer has important jewellery and travel adapter.

On top there is a teetering pile of books, bedside light and alarm clock with usb charger.

Mine is stuffed with the eleventy billion types of medication I am on, tiger balm, olbas oil and throat pastilles plus earplugs, sleepmask and a load of old birthday cards. Thrilling

and a load of rubbish. You’ve prompted me that I need a clear out.

Top drawer - random crap including tissues, Canistan, cotton wool, foot file, coin purse, sewing kit from a hotel.
Second drawer - socks.
Third drawer - pants
On top, I have a pile of books, eye cream, lamp, glasses case, notebook.
I'd like to clear out the bottom two and put books and stockings in the drawers though.

Mine has one drawer and a cupboard. In the drawer I have spare glasses, paracetomal, phone charger, pen, notebook, tissues.
In the cupboard I have iPad, reading book, a couple of puzzle books. I’m single but still needed one each side of the bed so it didn’t look odd! I need a use for the one that’s not on my side of the bed!

mine has photo albums my pills vibrators sewing stuff cds receipts junk few books spread over 3 drawers on top i have a glass of squash more books more pills no kids so dont have to worry about them dp viagra more cds

My DH and I have never managed to settle on specific sides of the bed, so I could end up either side.

I always sleep on the left (my left) at home but on the right when we're away and which I prefer. I'd change at home but I like being not nearest the door.

Anyway. Bedside drawers. We only have one smallish drawer each. DH's has a couple of cotton hankies from his Mum, some Ralgex, a couple of tourist leaflets from trips away and a pillow spray (unused). Mine is choc-full of card receipts and clothes tags . Also a small pot of vaseline and some hand cleanser. Bottom shelves have books.

The three-drawer bedside cabinets in the spare room house my collection of scarves (must have a cull).

Night cream
Notebook and pen
Tissues
Book
Torch
Bottle of water
Paracetamol and cough linctus
My dog’s ashes

I don't actually know most of the stuff. I have some belts, a lint fluff remover, some pens, receipts, books that I've been meaning to read. But below that top layer I really couldn't tell you. I think there might be a copy if the karma sutra in there that DH bought for in a fit of optimism for a wedding anniversary once. As you can tell, it is not regularly used. Definitely need a sort out! Just think of all these tidy bedside drawers you have inspired.

Top Drawer; my daily vitamins and the painkillers/meds I need within easy reach at all times. Hand cream, wet wipes, tissues, lip balm, moisturiser chocolate biscuits, various vape juices, Calpol and syringe.

Middle drawer; Kindle, Sky, TV and FireStick remotes, different chargers, the 3 books I've got on the go at the moment, PinSentry.

Bottom drawer; extra blankets, cosy cardigan, file with important documents/pictures/papers in.

Pretty boring, but everything I need. I spend a lot of time in bed once DD is asleep so like everything I could want near by.

Interesting how many of us have owned up to vibeys!
