Creating a tickle trunk (okay, Toy Box...)

For lack of a better term...if there is one, let me know! :)

Anyway, I have a beautiful wooden chest, 50cm wide by 30 deep by 24 high. So not large - nice and easy to carry around, for instance. And it locks. So it seems the perfect place to have a bit of an arsenal of props, etc... so that most things I'd need are in one handy spot, and it could be taken for a special night out if required. So I'm looking for a good list of things to put in it! They do have to fit, so I can't put everything, or any really large items.

I'm looking for bondage and sensation play items here. So far I have:

Selection of lubes, oils, creams, cleaners, etc...
2 vibrators (one remotely controlled), 1 dildo, many spare batteries
Anal beads
Long, adjustable straps with D-rings
Velcro, soft-lined cuffs (ankle and wrist), with rings
Leather blindfold, soft lining
Leather collar and cuffs with rings
Metal cuffs
Lots of rope, varying lengths (and scissors)
Leather gloves
2 Silk scarves
2 rabbit furs
Small bag of feathers
Drippy candles and matches

Debating putting in a knife. Want a small flogger to fit in there - my current implements are too large.

It's getting pretty full, but there's a bit of room, and things can always be removed if a better idea comes along.

So, suggestions? What other must-have items would you put in? I'm pretty low on budget right now, so not likely to be able to buy many super fancy toys, but they're still welcome for reference. Keep it small and portable, though! Thanks!

Dress up like a wizard in top hat and tails while you are at it.

lol...

Yeah, if there's a more general term than tickle trunk, then I'd love to hear it. Otherwise I and everyone I know will continue to name our BDSM chests after a children's show. :)
 
I have an old steamer trunk. It's in very good condition. Bought for the purpose of storing all my sexual impliments of delight and sensation.

I just call it my Toy Box.

*shrugs*

Tickle Trunk sounds too...Michael Jackson.
 
Look to your kitchen, hardware and dollar stores for inexpensive implements. Spatulas, spoons, rods, dog collars & leashes, a length of chain, strips of leather, etc., can all be used for sensation and other types of play. :)

*g* Must be a Canadian thing, then - everyone I've asked here (without giving them the term) has come up with the same thing on their own. But Mr. Dressup was a Canadian show, so not too surprising, I guess...
 
"toy" suggestions

i've always been partial to a ping-pong type paddle, a nice Leather slapper (there are many sizes and styles to choose from) flogger and so on. You should shop around at a good BDSM website, and pick out what you enjoy. If you have kids in the house a good ball gag may come in handy too :)

Definitely a Canadian thing.
I was very close to a canadian. She once mentioned this to me. As it works out, he's like our Mr. Rogers.
 
Spreader bars (which, by the way, can be made from those adjustable-length clothes bars designed to hang in your car).

Gags: Ball, bit, and Whitehead (sterilize after each use and seal in a zip-lock bag).

Condoms
 
Okay, that portable St. Andrew's cross is awesome! Definitely wouldn't fit, but still very cool. :)

So...we've got paddle, spreader bars, gags/bits, condoms (heh....a good point. I've been playing mostly with women lately, and often not going into any actual sex, but have been looking at playing with men again), wartenburg wheel (I forgot about those!), and dragon's tail. I haven't seen these before, but they look cool.

Thanks for the suggestions! Keep 'em coming, for other people's future reference even if my trunk gets full. :)
 
Milifficent, very nice choice with the wheel. :rose:

Hmm....I would have to suggest a riding crop. They're so versatile.

Ah....and an oval, wooden hair brush!

A pair of earplugs as well as a night mask.

*taps lips*

A leash, a choker chain.....(for those water-esque encounters where you wish to maintane control and direction with easy-to-clean material such as chain.)

It might help to know something of you and your situation. Do you have an SO? Are these things strictly for use on you, him, or both? Do you know the people well who you play with or is it sometimes a stranger or someone you picked up or he picked up you? In some of these instances I would shy away from adding a knife to your collection.
 
First aid kit, medical scissors, blanket/sheet, towel, condoms, gloves, lube, granola bar, advil.
 
nipple clamps?

A cheaper and more versatile substitute would be clothespins. :)

And from there, you might add a length of clothesline, ribbon or another soft, smaller-diameter cord to connect the clothespins into a zipper, do some light breast or cock and ball bondage, etc.

Did you say you already have some non-latex gloves in there? Having a few non-latex condoms on hand wouldn't be a bad idea, either, in case your partner has a latex allergy.
 
we're actually inheriting this huge red trunk when we move.. I'm thinking of using that to store the toys.. this sounds like a good idea..would even hold a tarp for waxplay... hmmmm
