In our house we have "baskets of catch alls!" The problem with baskets of catch alls is that they do indeed catch all. Once they have caught all the only recourse seems to be to get a new basket and repeat the process!

Ha ha. That made me laugh out loud, @wwwiebe. I can absolutely see that happening! I have several such baskets. They do help to tidy up counter tops... but they also fill up and then you've just got an overflowing basket!
It's true! Baskets are like solitary socks; they seem to keep multiplying. Looking around the room I'm in right now I see three baskets overflowing with Other Peoples Things (i.e., children's crap) and four baskets actually doing what they were designed to do (and are probably empty as a result!)
