Charging station but needs space for other gadgets

Do you have an elegant solution for charging your devices and stuff?

I've seen plenty of charging stations but they're like a stack for several phones and tablets. What I want will do that, but also keep tidy a shaver, toothbrush, headphones etc etc. Like a big drawer with space for a multi-socket extension lead.

Preferably modern looking rather than a wooden drawer type of thing.

I just have a cord by the settee and one by my bed. Works fine for me. How many devices are we talking? I charge 5 between those.

Phone, tablet, Kindle, shaver, toothbrush, headphones.

As per previous response we simply have multiple chargers around the house for phones and headphones - kitchen , sofa, bedside. We just plug in wherever we’re sitting.
Toothbrushes are charged in the bathrooms on dedicated toothbrush/shaver socket (toothbrush sits on it).

cords and plugs in the living room are coloured and braided so look reasonably attractive.

Thanks for the replies so far. Currently I have the same arrangements but my reason for posting was that I'd like a more organised and tidier solution with everything together.

Mine is as elegant as a cable on the floor by the settee. Well posh here!

The sofa I'm waiting to be delivered has usb-c plugs in the side of it. What about one of those baskets for hiding wires, put all the chargers in there? I use a powerbank at the side of my bed to charge my watch, tablet & headphones, I keep it in the top drawer & charge everything there.
