I've started keeping my toys in zip sealed lunch bags,that way I can pile them on top of each other in a big carboard box but don't have to worry about materials reacting to each other,was a pretty cheap solution to my storage problem Don't know why I didnt do it sooner!
Are lunch bags/freezer bags okay to store toys in - that is, if I use 'em am I not going to find a month later that everything's stuck/degraded?
I only use cotton bags myself because it's easier than trying to remember what might react, so I don't have any experience with plastic bags. But there are tales of melted woe in some of the storage threads from people who kept a toy in some sort of plastic bag. You might be able to pull up some of them via search.
Hmm, that tallies with what I was thinking - maybe there's a new product idea that someone @LH could follow up on - wee baggies for the "goodies" and perhaps a couple of storage boxes. Think I'll keep my eye's open when Christmas shopping to see if I can see something better than my current dingy bag to keep the stuff in.
We keep the lube and batteries in the bedside drawer, the toys in the drawer in the base of the bed seperated in to compartments and each stored in either the bag that came with them ie the lh glass toys come witha velvert bag or in a cotton bag that we bought. the clothes are stored in the main drawer unit.
Got my latest LH delivery this morning, and part of that was the "Bullet Bundle" (+freebie). Nice surprise that the bundle came in a quite attractive box (about the size of a shoebox), and a better surprise was that all the gear I ordered fitted nicely in the box, (when I ditched the packaging).
Quick aside on the bundle - mine came with the B3 Tuyo (http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=13147), as the freebie, which impressed the heck out of me because it looks really expensive.
So double thumbs up to LH from me - one for the box, the other for the Tuyo. Although lord only knows how we're going to be able to use that!
I keep all mine in a LH gift box under the bed, inside the brown cardboard box the gift box was delivered in. < Hope that isn't too confusing?! Some of my toys came with storage bags (mainly the glass ones and a swoon! vibe) but I also have a small zip-up bag, about the size of a pencil but deeper for my lube and cleaner. I've also bought three of these:

I have quite a few toys which I keep in the bed drawer, i need to rethink tho as I caught my very inquistive 4 year old walking round with a vibrator today!!!
I was looking for inconspicous secure storage for my small collection of toys & accessories, and being a guy there aren't too many options which wouldn't arouse suspicion, so after lots of searching found this black "Multipurpose Metal Transport Case" on ebay: http://r.ebay.com/Lqq8Bi.
It's made of steel & is lockable so unless someone is absolutely determined to find out what's inside and uses & angle grinder on it, it should keep everything away from prying eyes!!
I've only just bought it, so will post back here when it arrives in a few days
Ive got my stored in the lovehoney delivery cardboard box . Only trouble is now they dont all fit, I cant find anything and the wires from the several remote control vibes I have get taffled up with each other and everything else. So not good.
We have a box wich is intended to store tools, but we found out it is a great box to store your toys in. Our first toolbox can be locked but after some time it became to small and the toys could "touch" each other - which is not good, because some toys could melt into each other. So my BF bought a new and bigger toolbox (it has also locks) and we store our favorite toys in there. To make sure to toys won't touch each other, my BF made cuts into foam where our toys stay in place.
JayJay13 - where did you get the toolbox from? I'm after exactly the same thing!
I went to a hardware store nearby. It is cald "GAMMA". There I could buy this box and the foam - which is intended to reduce sound. I put 3 layers of foam in the box. Hope I could help you with this!
@JayJay, that is a really great idea but unfortunately I don't think it would work for my err rather extensive collection. If you have any more great ideas on how to store a larger collection please let me know

It took him some time but he liked to do it, so he's happy and I am.

Excellent idea! I'm thinking of investing in a new bed and adapting the draws underneath (putting locks on them) and using that for storage, We're outgrowing all our storage boxes quite rapidly!
While going through our old toys in a custom made wooden box, I noticed that some of them have gone out of shape and deformed. We have an all round hot and humility climate 365 days in Singapore.
All our toys are kept individually in either a cotton or satin bags similar to those that are sold at LH.
So I'm thinking of moving them to an air tight collection box. Care to share your experience. Thanks.
Don't know why I didnt do it sooner!
