Love is in the air...or in a nightstand drawer or a padlocked chest underneath the bed.
Like any hobby/job/task, a healthy sex life sometimes requires the use of...eh em...special tools. We don't need to know what you're working with but we are curious as to where you put them...er...[blush and stammer]...how you store them, rather.
Lacquered boxes, like these from Lille, are a good choice for a private toy stash. They come in a variety of sizes, they're inconspicuous (they could masquerade as jewelry boxes), and they're oh-la-la slick and pretty.
So come on, AT'ers, share the love. Please don't tell us what's in your bag of tricks but do let us know how you organize it.

Ikea box (Strikt, I think) on bottom shelf of Ikea nightstand (Eina, I think). Overflow in Ikea dresser. Everything locked in filing cabinet when we go out of town and have to give a key to a relative to feed the cat.

The "tools" are in a small box inside Ikea night stand, next to my side of the bed. The lube is on his side, not too discreet.

Is that a poster? I would love that. I can really doze.

I always wanted to actually build a Headboard I've designed, utilizing Square Steel Tubing, and a "Pez-like" dispenser concept for Condom storage/dispensing.....
just never got around to it....

I sewed a cute little bag out of pretty fabric, a drawstring bag of sorts, that I keep "odds and ends" in. Then I tuck that into my nightstand, so things aren't just rolling around in nightstand, if someone opened the drawer, they'd have to open the little bag too. . .then I hide/hang the bag deep in my closet when people stay over or visit. . .good times!

i've got this circular, reptile-look, deep burgundy pleather carrier complete with clasps that's on the floor next to my bed. (from hold everything - how appropriate - a million years ago.) it even looks good with my herman miller deco bedroom set...and it's portable. love!

In the nightstand drawer. Although after my husband and I re-did the bedroom furniture, my parents were visting and wanted to see the finished product. When I told my mother that I lined the drawers with really neat paper to match the nightstand, she had to open up my nightstand drawer to see. I have never seen her close a drawer faster in my life.
PS- My father was looking over her shoulder.

drawstring bag, underwear drawer. And the, ah, acoutrements that do not fit in the bag are stored rolled around the bag.

I have a cute little pink suitcase (about the length of a computer keyboard) that sits next to the nightstand. The rest of our "tools" stay in the drawer of the nightstand.

I have a (faux) smooth leather box in red with label tag that came filled with bath products. It sits on the bedside. It has a flocked lining.
I've actually been looking everywhere for something lacquered, or in shagreen, leather, or a simple fabric with a hinge. I'd like a large one for "accouterments" and a medium one for jewelry.
Anyone? Not a lift off lid, but a hinged one? Say roughly 13âx9â and 9âx5â? Inexpensive is a BIG plus.

Hidden in a drawer. My best friend and I exchanged detailed locations. If my husband and I were to die suddenly, she has strict instructions to remove them from the house before our mothers find them. I'm to do the same for her.

In the top drawer of my bedside chest. I keep my an inherited jewelry collection (nice enough to insure) in a little box behind the toys because I figure no one will go past the toys looking for bling. :-)

I found a beautiful little ceramic box in a charity (thrift) shop once - it was in the shape of a bed with a girl on top flinging her legs in the air - I used to use it to hold condoms.
