Has anyone found a good solution for the spaghetti heaps of charger wires around the house?

[GoldfinchesHiccup]

I THOUGHT I had the answer. I bought a multi USB adapter. I plugged it into the wall and put it inside a nice basket so everyone could plug their stuff into charge and the wires (and phones/hudls etc) would stay inside.
What I now have is a six tentacled wire filled basket with devices laid out carefully all round it charging. Looks worse than ever. Short of beating my family with a stick for not putting their devices in the basket (also not helped by the length of all the wires each device has which spill out of the top) any other ideas?

Afraid not. Just hanging around in case someone does!

We have a 6 port USB charger with short charging wires but it still looks messy so I'm not sure.

Me too - although in my house they take the leads as well so the ones we need are always lost

Yes - I got some great gadgets for this - a set of plastic widgets... Hang on, can't link on tho phone easily, I'll be back...

here they are - no more basket of tangled wire. You can stick labels on the sides if it's difficult to distinguish which gadget each one is for.

Damnit fish! That won't help! I was excited for a minute

We already have a multi port adapter thingy though so the wires that are spaghetti-ing everywhere are the ones with a USB one end (plugged into port) and the device (phone etc) plugged in the other end.

Ah I see. Your hideous tangle of wires is different from our hideous tangle of wires.

I noticed these while googling to find the link for the other widgets. Might they help?

Though if you are into geeky diy solutions, this is pretty cool.

We have one of these with the wires fed through the back. Each drawer holds a couple of phones or one tablet. I taped the connectors to the drawers so you have to pull the drawer out to plug your device in. It works really well. We both work in tech so we have ungodly quantities of these things.

OMG! I love the lego men - genius

The letter rack idea looks great, damnit, now I need to go to ikea. I think I just heard my credit card give a muffled sob.

Give each family member their own USB plug and make them charge their devices in their own room.

Here are some other ideas, though really I'd rather buy something unclutterer.com/2013/09/17/ten-diy-gadget-charging-stations/

Amazon has some letter rack type things - search 'phone charging station' - but none of them grab me

Cable drops everywhere here. They come in different colours and you can't see the wires at all.

I even have two in my car.

Sorry can't link on my phone but google cable drop by bluelounge, I think.

you can coil up the thin wires around your hand and snap a rubber band round therm. You only need a new inches free.

(mains cables however must not be coiled tightly as they may overheat)

Have just googled blue lounge. This could cost me dear.

Oh that's genius, bodingading. Just what we need, thank you!

I've got some of those Bobino cable things (one of the links that fishwithabicycle posted). They're pretty cheap and do the job, although a rubber band would probably be just as good. We also had various cupboards built in with clever holes in the backs for cables which are the best solution, but obviously neither cheap nor easy....

It's a never ending problem, isn't it?!
I have 2 main issues, one is that the charging leads /plugs always seem to disappear and two, I am a bit paranoid about the fire risk. I don't like to leave anything charging overnight (due to fire risk) and also don't really want DS to have a charger in his room...... I think I need to be more organised, come up with a better system
