Best storage trunks according to redditors

Just get a trunk from amazon and a lock, put the key for the lock on your keychain and you'd be good to go. Put the trunk under your bed and put anything of value in it. Also doubles as storage for anything else that won't fit in a closet/wardrobe.

I wanted something to keep my ink in out of the light so I got these.

It sounds like your kids are craving more attention/interaction, which they probably get when they terrorize or destroy the house. I work with special needs kids that have some pretty extreme problem behaviors--tantrums, aggression to other kids and adults, destructive behavior, etc. I had a kid who would make herself throw up if she didn't get her way. This is how you get it to stop:

1. If your kids are terrorizing the house, it likely has 2 motives. 1) To access something they want. 2) To get attention. If they "get into everything," get a box like this or this to keep things safe. These boxes lock with combo locks that young kids can't figure out. Removing that means of getting attention as much as possible will make you and your wife's lives easier since it will be less time spent physically controlling/redirecting your kids from hurricaning through your house.
   
   
   
2. Give tons of positive attention for every single "good" behavior you see. Kid sitting quietly? Hugs/kisses/tickles/small treat (think 1 Skittle or something like that) and very specific praise. "Great job sitting so still and quiet!" If you just say "good job" your kid has no idea why you're saying it. If you praise them specifically for sitting quietly/following directions/helping mommy/etc. they will eventually know exactly what you want them to do if you tell them to sit quietly/do [instruction]/help mommy and do [instruction]. Kids want attention, and giving it to them when they do good/appropriate things will make good behavior more motivating.
   
   
   
3. SUPER IMPORTANT, and the hardest thing to do: IGNORE bad behavior. Sounds bad, but hear me out. Kids act out most often because of being denied access to something they want or because they want your attention. If your kid is having a tantrum/destroying things/etc. for either reason, ignoring that behavior will teach the kid that it doesn't work. Ignoring doesn't mean let them destroy things without intervening, it means that they get zero reaction or attention from you (no eye contact, no talking) as you block them from doing anything destructive or physically dangerous.
   Example: Kids want something, get mad and tantrum when mom removes it from reach or says no.
   What to do: No eye contact. It's okay to tell the kids, "You can't have [whatever it is] right now. When you have a quiet voice and nice hands we can play with (something they like and can safely play with)." Then let them cry or tantrum. Crying never killed anyone. This is hard because the first several times you use this method on the kids they will be pissed. Acting a fool has been working for them their whole lives, so they'll probably tantrum themselves to sleep/exhaustion several times trying to get what they want. Let them. If you can't confine them to a baby proofed area or your house is set up in a way that they can climb or hurt themselves, you will need to be on your shit until you gain a little instructional control over the kids. (There really isn't a way to baby gate one room and take out the stuff you don't want them to touch?) This means that if they're doing something physically dangerous, like climbing, you block this behavior every time they try without giving them any attention for it--no eye contact, no talking to them, just pick them up from whatever they're attempting to do and move them away from it. They will run back to it and try again. Repeat, repeat, repeat. They'll get tired and give up eventually. If you let them get away with it, or give in after initially blocking the behavior, it will keep happening. And it will be harder to get them to stop in the long run. If your kids are just having a run of the mill tantrum, let them lay there and tantrum. It's not hurting or inconveniencing anyone but them.
   
   
   
4. CONSISTENCY. "No" has to mean NO, no matter what. And if your kid is acting inappropriately in any way--whining, yelling, crying--you cannot give them what they want until they are behaving nicely. If they're crying because they want X, and it's okay for them to have it, tell them, "You can have X when you have a quiet voice and nice hands." Then hold the item where they can see it and as soon as they are quiet for a few seconds straight, give them the item and say, "I like your quiet voice, here's your X." If they sometimes get things when they're bratting out they will keep trying that behavior as a means of getting things every single time. (It's like if your parents gave you $100 every time you mentioned how broke you are for a while, then only every second or third time you mentioned being broke. You'd still try it each time you wanted money because it works sometimes!)
   
   
   
5. When you want your kids to not do something, always tell them what they can/should do instead. Just saying "no" is frustrating for kids because they feel attacked and don't know what to do. Instead of saying "Don't do that!" you should say, "No climbing on the counter. You can climb on the beanbags or on the slide." (Go to a kids' consignment shop and on Craigslist--the Fisher Price slide that fits in a bedroom or living room and bean bag chairs are super cheap second hand.) Carry or guide them to where it's okay to climb, or to a toy they can play with, as you say this. If they start running back to what you told them not to do, start with the remove-with-no-eye-contact-or-talking each time they try that. Keep doing it until they give up.
   
   
   
6. To teach them that they get praise for doing what they're told, tell them to do things you know they want to do, and then praise them for listening to mom or dad/following directions. Gradually start telling them to do other things that aren't necessarily preferable, but are still easy (close the door, copy me, clean up the puzzle, etc), and increase the difficulty of directions as you gain compliance. Start off with telling them to do things you can "help" (force) them to do if they don't listen. Like if you tell them to clean up the puzzle and they try to run away or ignore you, physically (but gently) return them to the task, saying only "It's time to clean up the puzzle." Then use your hand to bring their hand to the puzzle pieces (again, you don't have to be aggressive with this, use the minimum force necessary), put a piece in their hand, and move their hand with the puzzle piece to put it away. Repeat until the kid starts doing it without you physically making them. If you have to "help" them with every single piece, that's okay--the important thing is to show them that when you give a direction, ignoring it or running away is not an option and will not work. Don't give any directions you can't follow through on. As soon as they start doing as they're told without you physically guiding them to do so, praise them a lot: "Great job cleaning! I love how you're listening to mommy and cleaning up the puzzle. Good job!"
   
   
   I know this sounds like a lot. And it will feel like it isn't working for a while, because their behavior will get worse before it gets better (Google "extinction burst" to see what I mean). But you're a good dad for recognizing what's going on and wanting to improve it instead of just trying to avoid letting the behaviors happen.
   
   
   BIG NOTE If your child is 2 and not talking, have you looked into referrals for an assessment of any speech or developmental delays? In most states children with a delay of any kind are entitled to a certain amount of free therapy services. Giving your child a way to communicate, whether it's speech or signing if he's not at the speech level just yet, will reduce so much frustration. Ask your pediatrician, it can't hurt! If you do qualify for therapy services that would also give your wife a break from constant childcare--ABA services are often available in-home, and while your wife would need to be home, the therapist would be working with your son so your wife would get a break (at least as much of a break as you can get with just one kid instead of 2). PLEASE look into this--if you qualify for any kind of services it will make all of your lives so much easier, and it shouldn't cost too much if they find that there's a developmental delay of some kind.
   
   Good luck, man! Parenting is HARD!

The one I have looks almost identical to THIS (but wasn't anywhere near as expensive) - /www.amazon.com/Seward-Trunk-College-Storage-Footlocker/dp/B004835DI4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482100362&sr=8-2&keywords=storage+trunks+and+chests

It'll be a handy way to keep your stuff safe in your dorm-room, too :-)

Amazon

Edit: Found them.

I have this case. And I love it.

https://www.amazon.com/Apothecarry-Case-Handmade-Storage-Connoisseur/dp/B07R652GN1

Has a lock. Has plenty of room for all kinds of wares. And looks really really cool.

Edit: whoops. Not refrigerated. Still love it though.

It just looks like some kind of [Hope chest](Rustic Gray Large Wooden Storage Trunk https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0759R5RCQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lm43Ab9ZKT2ZC)

Set aside things for your son for specific occasions (similar to your letters). For example, maybe your favorite ring to use as an engagement ring someday, if you have any photos or a baby book of his, brochures from your college for him to look in to after he graduates high school, his favorite childhood book to someday read to his kids, things like that - a kind of major event life care package. Maybe even get a special box (that was an example, pick something that has meaning to both of you, or shop and pick something out together) for him to keep the items in, and wrap them all just in brown paper, then label the packages: "Open on your high school graduation day" "This is for when you are ready to propose" Things like that - maybe even include advice in some - like items to get when he moves out, relationship advise - stuff you would want to tell him in person if able to do so. (And fingers crossed that you well outlive your prognosis!)

1. Take the power cable for the lamp, run it down the back leg of the tripod, and use a couple pieces of crystal clear tape to hold the cable to the leg. That will deal with the awkward cable just hanging out of the fixture. Don't use a lot of tape, but take your time and lay the cord flat and pull it tight.
   
   
2. Get a couple few decorative boxes like these Drill a hole big enough for a plug to fit through in the box, and run a power strip into the box. Now you can make all your connections in the box instead of just out there in the open. I see this is a floor switched lamp. Go ahead and get a wifi outlet control and just put the lamp on a timer. That way you never have to turn it on or off, but if you want to, its just as simple as opening an app on your phone. You could also put the modem on a wifi outlet switch. I did that at home and whenever I have the need to reboot my modem, no more digging it out of its hidey hole.
   
   
3. Stick the cable modem inside the box as well. Just be sure to drill a couple few air holes in the box so there is no over heating issues. Better yet, you could take some time and install a small USB or 120volt powered PC fan into the box. This will vent any warm air generated by the modem. This is the route I would go because if you are going to do something like this, its better to over engineer. And if you use a nice decorative box, chances are, you will be able to reuse it whereever you live next.
   
   
   Now all the wires and the modem are nestled in their decorative box...and all the ugly mess of wires are gone

Did you do anything else to the box besides the P&P foam? I am curious where this sells for $150.

It looks a lot like this box.

Looks like this case : Old Style Suitcase With Straps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JTHS7K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hE3kzbJWTYJTB

With a Go7 insert

When we were in college we had a roommate that liked to steal make-up and even underclothes. I got myself something like this:

Storage Trunk

Lockable Chest

And that worked pretty well. When she had the gall to say something about it I let her know it's because she stole my things and didn't return them - so I couldn't trust her with my belongings.

I still kept things locked up because those kind of hams have no shame and will do it again. They are weak willed and selfish.

We use something like this guy. Lives at the foot of our bed. It just looks like the kind of trunk most people keep extra blankets in, so it doesn't scream sex toys at anyone that happens to come in the room. Our bad dragons we just wrap in cheap cotton towels or hand towels depending on the size to keep them away from anything else in there that might be bad for them.

A suit case with lots of pockets would work, especially if you have fetish clothing. Possibly something like this.

There is also things such as this or this for secure storage.

And something like this for a discrete appearance.

Or perhaps something like this.

If you look around, you can probably find old steamer trunks or footlockers with shelves at a reasonable price for that maximum organization. Hard side suitcases work for easy portability. The possibilities are endless when you look at non-BDSM oriented items for a BDSM purpose.

The box is from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JTHS7K

Then there's bulk foam from Walmart's crafts section, felt was a 36" square from AC Moore, dividers are canvas boards cut with a Dremel and spray painted.

On Amazon. You can get the large one (which is what I have), a smaller one, or the set of two in one package.

Here is the link for the set of two.

Note: They are made of plywood and not good for anything heavier than board games. But it's perfect for my purposes!

i have a big footlocker thats long enough for the crops and floggers and paddles and then i have a sterlite container inside that with dildos and vibes inside of it and i have lots of glass toys and those are all in nice velvet bags to keep them from clinking
https://www.amazon.com/STERILITE-1842-Footlocker/dp/B07B63NQ5C this is the footlocker, they have it in black too i think

Also zum Geruchs Thema erstmal

Ich persönlich fand die "Al wazir" Serie ganz gut

Partly hanging in a tidy-ish fashion, and then... boxes. A lot of boxes. Beware of the wife's reaction though.I recently upgraded the 'desk', let's just say she wasn't totally pleased: http://abcpacks.com/galleries/workshop

Regarding the boxes, I have mostly 3 kinds:

- Assortment boxes with different splits, and clear lid like these: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0002YYXUC/

- Small clear plastic boxes (~5L) I can work with while on the desk, in which I drop medium size stuff): https://www.amazon.de/dp/B076S2VVFW/ref=twister_B07LCWBBD7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

- Big-a** clear plastic box (~50-60L) for the fabrics: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B076SDFKQ9/ref=twister_B07LCWBBD7?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

Links are just for examples, I found boxes like these for cheap at the hardware store. The lid is important! You definitely want to be able to pile them up.

Just got this. Good for storing 30s and 10s/15s, but not much else. Looks pretty cool though.

The cardboard box from Amazon. I also found a locking CD box (for many CDs). It's wood with metal edges, silver and black. Gosh, I think it's this one!

A locking toolbox could also work. Or purple trunk.

How about something like this or this?

Sure, we bought these boxes, which we cut the top slot in, hollowed out so the cards could fall through, and glued together. They're $30+ right now but we only paid $17.55, so I'd recommend tracking them on CamelCamelCamel until they drop in price. The bottom ones are these. We cut out the top and bottom of the smaller one and the top of the larger one so the cards would fall down from the top slot to the bottom of that largest box.

I'm loving the vibe you've got! The main thing that makes this look dorm-ish to me is the clutter. I would suggest getting a trunk to store a lot of your stuff in (books, boxes, bags...) This trunk is a little more expensive but classy as fuck and would go well with everything else you've got going on in this room.

I prefer the more antique looking steamer trunks. I've wanted one for my HP room for a long time. Here's one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Boston-Chest-Wooden-Steamer-Trunk/dp/B004QSZCCS?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

I am trying to find that on Amazon. Is this it?

I just picked up a holiday decoration bag, and I am amazed at how many games it fit but interested in a more sturdy option as well.

I too miss out on everything during the day. Since I started my new job, I sleep until 4pm. I actually need this trunk to keep all the baby stuff in that I am collecting until my adoption goes through! Thanks for the contest!

After a minor mathematical error on a routine report, a worker's boss tried to belittle him in front of his peers. Angrily she asked, "If you had 4 pickles and I asked for one, how many would you have left?" Quickly he replied, "If it was you who asked, I'd still have 4 pickles."

First off find out what her dorm allows and what they already provide. My mom got me a microwave and then we found out I couldn't have it (and the dorm provided them anyway)

Shower shoes/caddy. More than one set of sheets. A good pillow and mattress topper, especially if she's a light sleeper or has issues with new mattresses. A fan (window fan if it will fit, a tower fan is also nice). Power strips! the girls in the room next to mine didn't have one and having an extra made me one of their favorite people haha. A laptop lock (if she has a laptop). And last but far from least, A locking trunk. I got mine when I was 18 and at 29 I still own it. It's great storage, doubles as a small table, and it gives you a safe place to lock things away. When I lived in not so great neighborhoods I felt a lot better having my good camera gear locked away in there. Right now it protects a ton of old documents from my mother and grandparents.

I had the option to move in 4 days early in my dorm in exchange for helping other people move in on the main move in day. When my mom dropped me off we went out to dinner at the nearest pizza place and she got me a giftcard. Being able to buy a pizza designed to feed over a dozen people on move in day was amazing. It helped me meet some new people, become better friends with some of the other move-in helpers I'd met, and offering left overs to my RAs put me immediately on their good side. She should definitely have some (at least somewhat healthy) snacks for herself, but having some to share is a big plus.
