Looking for a desktop organizer of some kind. Our house has a dumping zone of nonsense items that sits on top of a built in desk. I'd love something with cubbies or drawers that can hide the random bits and bobs that end up there. Also...reasonably priced. Not looking to spend $$$

Vintage Kennedy 5-Tray Metal Tool Box Red: I use vintage toolboxes for storage because they’re practical, colorful, and full of character. They’re a fun way to organize my desk and home while adding a little personality to the space. You can find lots of them on eBay.

lots of cute jars and cups and small vases: so this is maybe not QUITE what you are looking for but I keep things organized through vessels I collect. Someone buys you a "get well soon bouquet" and now you have a smiley face bookmark / misc. "little things" holder! The mug your company sent you can hold your pens! Here is a photo I took two seconds ago of my desk for example (and also some context: I like a little chaos)
