You know, when the nightstand gets a little too crowded or you have kids who start to get old enough to wander around. What’s the best way to keep them away from others, yet easily accessible without ruining the moment?
Dangling from the ceiling, disguised as a mobile.
well, if you have kids… once they are 8 you have to assume that they will find it… because they will… so I would only recommend you keep the ones that you would not be completely ashamed of if they find them… untill then, I would keep them in a dresser near the bed…
my girlfriend still lives at home… just out of college… and we were at her house while her parents were out… broke out a toy… and then left it on her floor… her mother then came into the room later that night to give bring her dry cleaning in… and had to have walked over it… lol…
yikes… and I mean… you would have to know what it is if you saw it… cracks me up…
on a side note, I am still waiting for an episode of aTrading Spaces, where the one couple forgets to hide their toys before leaving the house… now that would be a good show…
I put mine in a Crown Royal bag in the nightstand. However, I don’t have any kids running around. I’ll never forget the time in sixth grade when my friend said, “hey, look what my mom has!” I had touched it before I realized what it was. Please don’t be that mom to some poor unsuspecting kid. Get a lock box, and don’t let the key out of your sight.
I keep mine in a little box marked toys, under the edge of the bed.
[Hi Jack]
This toybox was posted to England just before I moved over here. My soon to be hubby opened the box, and got a shock :eek: Not exactly what he had expected.
We’ve moved house a couple times now, and it gives me such a giggle seeing the movers carrying that ickle box around 
[Bye Jack]
What is this “hide” you speak of? I thought holding toys was what the floor was for?
Plastic storage box under the small coffee table that serves as my nightstand.
I’ve got no reason to hide them - just me and my wife in our house.
in a drawer built in under the bed…along with various reading material…one kid 13, one kid 5. But we have a deadbolt on our bedroom door.
This is why we own one of these.
Not good enough… your kids will find them one day… just come to terms with that…
children are curious… and will do whatever it takes to figure a way out… believe me, I have been there & done that…
I actually pretended to be sick from school when I was younger so I could snoop around the house… and thank god for having an older porn loving brother… and they were well hidden…
My wife used to keep hers in the nightstand, until one day, as our then 6 year old son was watching TV in our room, and she walked in on him playing “machine gun” with her “Elmo.”
Opps…fergot…we keep them in the gun safe now…
You mean, instead of having kids, right? RIGHT?
I’m having a flashback to the previous toy thread, in which someone mentioned having a purple toy that she never used, and her dog found it and used it as a chew toy, much to the anguishment of her SO…
Um, the toys that is…not the kids…JEEZ.

Locked foot locker, covered with junk. It looks rather uninteresting, and the lock isn’t showing as to not attract attention.
That’s better than our previous place which was a container labeled Forbidden Box of Mystery - Keep Out!!!
Precisely what I’m trying to prevent.
Was thinking of getting something that has a numbered combo lock, like a briefcase that is easy to open if you know the code. Fumbling around with small luggage size keys could kind of ruin the moment. We don’t have anything under the bed now so we need to start putting more stuff there to make it inconspicuos and not to draw attention.

Your moms toy rocket is neat, but it smells kinda funny.
[/6 year old friend]
ewww…imagine walking in while they are smelling it??
I have to tell a little story - I SWEAR this happened to A FRIEND OF MINE, not to me. Really!
He lived alone, but had a housekeeper who came in during the day. One day, having had a loving, consensual evening the night before with a (ahem) penis-shaped object, he realized that he’d left it out in plain view on the nightstand, without cleaning it. The housekeeper was scheduled to clean that day.
As soon as he realized the error, he rushed home, but she’d already been and gone. The house was spotlessly clean, as usual - including the (ahem) dildo. She had cleaned it too. :eek:
He had to let her go, the poor lady. It was just too embarrassing. Myself, I would have moved to a new country, changed my name and devoted myself to a life of good works.
Really? I’d have given the gal a bonus.
Talk about being dedicated to your job!
