What’s on your nightstand right now?

[EatDiamondsForBreakfast]

Could be interesting 😂
Mine is quite large….& is always a bit cluttered by the end of the night.
2 iPads
2 vapes
2 faux plants
1 photo of kids
1 hand cream
1 pillow spray feather & down, matching roll on
heartburn tablets
fresh cold water
the earrings I wore today
1 stuffed toy
lipbalm

The essentials & then some

I'm pretty basic, except I have two lamps.
lamp
directional reading lamp
alarm clock
water bottle
books - up to 3, once read they are given away

I hang my corded earphones over the headboard.

My Tassimo is a game changer; I don’t sleep well so no more having to disturb DH and the dog or visitors by going downstairs.
highly recommend getting one!

Salt lamp
couple of scented candles
one of my daughters LOL dolls
meds (inhaler, antidepressants etc)
glass of water
empty mug
glasses
bottle of nail polish

My side:
Vase - empty
Candle - half melted
Hair bobble
Vaseline
Down the side is a Billy Goats Gruff book

Dp side:
Lamp
Phone charger for his and my phone
Bottle of coke

Everything else gets shoved in a drawer!

Lamp, watch charger. Usually a tablet and dock too but it's gone for repair. Phone when on charge.

Travel cup full of water, on a fancy saucer to protect the polished surface underneath. Wooden bowl for earrings, hair grips etc.

Overnight this is joined by phone and spectacles. All other flat surfaces in the bedroom are less tidy.

I'm common too. 😂

I do have a large chest of drawers. Mainly because there's nowhere else for it to go; and we will be having a new fitted bedroom in the coming months.

I wish! 😂

I am a real neat freak so have to ensure they are all in the right order and arranged correctly otherwise will drive me mad. (There are 10 of them which were all collected over the years during our travels to the Far East.)

Is a nightstand the same as a bedside table?

Haha, well, I wouldn't have it any other way! I used to have a chest of drawers next to me, too, in my last home. It was high and a nightmare to comfortably reach my cup of tea! I love my little side table, Dh doesn't have a table. He has one other those thin ikea book shelf units facing him on the wall with the tv on 🤣

A lamp, a photo (of me actually - my DH placed it there ages ago!) and four stacked books. At night my glasses too.

I agree.

I'm wondering if the posters with the most stuff spend a lot of time in bed before sleeping, watching TV etc.

I only go to bed to sleep.

On my bedside cabinet is a lamp, my reading glasses, my book (You Are Here by David Nicholls (loving it!), magnesium tablets, my snoozeband and about 7 hair bobbles.

Mini dehumidifier
Huge money plant
Charging pad
4 books

Mouthwash

Photo of our wedding, 2 nail varnishes, A Necklace of Raindrops (childhood favourite), a lamp. Earplugs, I’ve given up on using them, I just move rooms when my DH starts snoring.

Book
Glasses

Quie minimalist. If you open my bedside drawer, though, you’ll see who I really am 😆

Don't have one, but I do have a stack of books and a lamp teetering on top of them

It's a bedside table, unless you are American.

I have too much on my bedside table too. Various hand creams etc for hand eczema, some cotton gloves for the same, a lamp, various chargers, a coaster, a book, glasses, at night it also has a bottle of water and scrunched up used tissues usually. And maybe a bowl or a plate as I sometimes need to eat it'll I can't get to sleep. Sometimes my meds get left up there having escaped from the top drawer. I do try to tidy it every morning! 😳

My husband always moans about the cluttered nature of mine, I don't have a dressing table so forgive the list...

Top - Lamp, Dyson straighteners on their charging stand, tanning lotion, cleanser, toner, moisturiser, skin serums, lip balm, body moisturiser, pill box, little dish with multiple earrings, earplugs, hair bobbles in, coaster, Stanley cup, 2x cable clips - one for my phone, one for the baby listener.

Second level - large basket with claw clips, head bands, hair dryer, curling tongs, large tin with hair brushes, combs etc, jar with cotton wool pads

Third level (IE the floor!!!) - another basket with random paraphernalia in like eye masks, foot cream, sleep spray etc!

I really wish I had a dressing table now 😂😂

Oh and there also a trinket dish for my rings!

Way too much!

A 'love you to the moon and back' light from my mum.
A musical box from my mum
A cross stitched hedgehog from DP.
A hedgehog mug my children bought me for mothers day. This contains loom bad bracelets they made me.
Air pods
A felted Hedgehog in a little wooden box, made my DP.
A lamp
A little Buddha in a bag from my mum to remind me of something when I was little.
A coaster
A little sign DD (10) made me which says 'believe in yourself' which she made for my first day in my job.
A wrapper I need to throw away.

From this you would assume my favourite animal is hedgehogs. Its not. But a hedgehog changed my life and without that hedgehog I wouldn't be with DP or have my 2 youngest children. So it is a reminder of how far I have come.

I am also sentimental. My bedside table is huge but full of things that have made me happy, when I am sad or don't want to get out of bed all I have to do is reach over and look at how wonderful my life is.

Lamp, radio, water bottle, box of tissues. A stuffed owl belonging to my oldest child how has delivered me a letter. A small trinket box belonging to my youngest child. A hair bobble, lip balm, and some string (I have no idea about the string). 3 bookmarks, one made by each child. A Kindle and 6 actual books. Oh and a stuffed axolotl 😁

Sunrise alarm clock.

Earbuds.

Glasses.

As of Friday evening, a nightguard to try and stop me knackering my teeth any more than I have done already (when the dentist said 'Do you have a stressful job at all?' I almost woke up properly from the lovely rest of not actually having to talk, type or think for five minutes whilst she scraped away a bit of tartar).

I can't stand having too much stuff around me.
