Pesky Stuff
Our house generates mounds of stuff every week--mail, school papers, recycling, clothes, dishes, etc., etc. I've figured out how to handle most of it, but one category still stumps me. Those pesky little items that don't have a home, but don't lay flat like papers can. For example, a lone button for a coat, too large to lie flat. Or a pair of old dance shoes that can be given to another family with a younger child. Or a broken cell phone that appeared in our house that no one will admit to taking.I've heard that a junk drawer works for this stuff, but we don't have a spare drawer available. Any other ideas? I'm good at handling the flat papers, but the three-dimensional objects are a pain!

In the short run, a shoe box with a lid would work...as long as you go through the stuff periodically and discard/find a home for it!
