hidey-holes
Tucked-away spaces
Hidey-holes are small, concealed spaces where someone hides or stashes things.
The term suggests cozy, improvised hiding spots rather than formal storage: The cat has hidey-holes all over the house, She kept emergency cash in various hidey-holes.
The word carries a playful, slightly childish tone.
Also spelled hidey-hole in the singular, or hideyholes.
