What does everyone else do with their knicknacks? Little toys or figurines, bag and phone charms that are nice but you're not going to put them on your bag or phone, pins and badges you don't wear but still like, etc? Right now I have a bunch of mine in a box but that definitely feels like knickknack jail where they go to be forgotten.
@ash top desk drawer. flows over into the second drawer though, so unclear strategy at best.
