sock drawer

Anklet storage spot

A sock drawer is exactly what it sounds like—the drawer where you keep your socks.

Because socks are small and the drawer has unused space, it becomes a repository for miscellaneous items: I found the old photos in my sock drawer.

The sock drawer is proverbially where people stash things—cash, contraband, keepsakes, or anything they want handy but somewhat hidden.
