Miss Scarlett · 11-28-2012, 05:03 AM

Lamp, clock, my glasses, bottle of cologne (Moonlight Path), my iPhone (at night), 6 Tibetan Quartz points and a big chunk of Lepidolite...

I opened the bottom of a kleenex box, took some of the kleenex out, taped back inside enough of the bottom of the kleenex box to fit my gun under it, and put the kleenex back in on the top. It's safer to your keep your gun hidden where you fall asleep. Just sayin..

I was looking at mine the other day and I'll be damned, but it made me feel like an old lady.

Kleenex
Vitamins/caltrate, multi, joint relief (wow)
Jewelry
Dog Treats (sad, but true)
Crochet hook and latest project
Water bottle
TV remote
Slippers (dog steals them if I leave them down and above dog treats are bribes to get them back if I do)
a few movies I picked up at the library
Eye glasses
Crossword puzzle book

LOL you made me smile and I'm just waking up so that's a lot!

Ginger · 11-28-2012, 06:24 AM

I have a table on each side of the bed. Each one has one of my mom's bridge napkins from the sixties (corny floral pattern, yellow and red), and a little Ikea lamp with a paper shade ($9.99!).

In addition, one side has:

Chartreuse candle on white ceramic base
Tiny digital alarm clock (not a radio, real simple)
Box of kleenex in wicker box cover
Little ceramic dish I got in Greece, with a lid
Pencil holder made out of a smooth stone

And the other side has:

Turquoise candle on same white ceramic base
Books
Cell phone
Another little dish from Greece
Multi-colored, striped coaster

This thread is funny, so intimate and yet in my case, not so much

Sachita · 11-28-2012, 06:41 AM

I'd really like to know what's in those drawers! lol Mine are fun!

ON my nightstands -

The side I sleep on- lamp, bottle of lotion, remote, always water, candle, very large chunk of amethyst with a quartz cut channel stone I've had for many many years.

The otherside - lamp, kindle, few bottles of essential oils and a warm mist humidifier.

Ms. Meander · 11-28-2012, 06:42 AM

On my side:
lamp
Kindle
pile of books
lotion
phone
hair do-dads
crochet project

On my other side:

candle
water
essential oils - lavender, rosemary
tinctures - valerian, licorice root, lobelia
ear plugs
notebook and pen

The 5 people on this short thread who mentioned they have guns next to their bed, are all of you serious?

I guess since the whole "having the gun at the ready", is so far outside of my experience, I sometimes wonder if people are just pulling our legs and I am the only one who doesn't know this.

No judgement, it just really throws me when I read things like this.

So, was anybody kidding (maybe you, Clay?)?

Kind of scary huh?

I keep a shot gun inside my closet but not next to bed. My dogs would first raise hell and then I would.

I keep my magic wand plugged in and sticking in the drawer. I have for years. Battery powered vibrators are useless to me.

Okiebug61 · 11-28-2012, 07:52 AM

My side of the bed. Lamp, bottle of water, alarm clock,

Red's side of the bed, (am I suppose to even know) it's kind of like her purse, I'm afraid to look. :-)

Dude · 11-28-2012, 07:52 AM

an impressive stack of socks
dog treats
change receptacle
five mustard packets

princessbelle · 11-28-2012, 07:58 AM

Lamp
Alarm clock
hair ties in a small container
Kleenex box
cinnamon candle
tv remote

inside the drawer....books, notebook, pens and a small jar of toenail clippings i've been saving and adding to since i was around 10.

(just kidding on the last part)

Two oak bedside tables, one on each side of queen sized firm bed in my bedroom (deep, dark blue walls w/ white trim, light blue curtains, white and light blue linens). Uncluttered style (a few vintage pieces mixed with modern).

On "my" bedside table there is:

• Modern chrome lamp
• Cork coaster (and occasionally a glass of water)
• Mauve Italian glass bowl (vintage -- was my Gma's) in shape of sea shell
• Blackberry
• Huge stash of perfume and cologne samples (inside drawer) I'll never use which were nabbed from Barney's a couple years ago on Christmas eve when I needed something to do since I was by myself that holiday
• Notepad and pencil (inside drawer)
• Occasionally my iPad finds its way here
• Something personal (inside drawer)

On the opposite bedside table there is:

• Modern chrome lamp (different than other)
• Box of kleenex in decorative chrome cozy
• Small mauve art deco planter (bottom shelf)

Bèsame* · 11-28-2012, 08:00 AM

On my nightstand..

Cute white lamp
Landline phone
Cute white frame with a picture of my mom's garden
Crystal ring holder, only one ring, various other things including clips and o rings (:/)
Small Waterford table clock, never has worked, I inherited it, it's sparkly
Vase with one single white silk hyacinth
A Caribbean island scented candle

Remote control is under the pillow
The house is secured within the security gates ( I hope) and the house alarm would scare the crap out of everyone, including me! So no gun over here.

A special rock I found when I was in Arkansas.
A keychain with a dolphin on it.
Alarm clock.
A Nook.

I am betting you get up before your alarm goes off, too.

Yep, I'm another person that has a gun in the nightstand. Well in the top drawer of D's nightstand.

On my nightstand:
a lamp
a coaster
ice water... every night before bed
Johnson's nighttime lotion
hair ties
jewelry that I wear every day
my glasses
and my phone... it is my alarm clock
