The Cable Bag That Makes Sense

We had a drawer that rattled. A micro-USB cable from a printer we no longer owned, a metre of something that only charged at one angle, three wall plugs with logos we did not recognise and no idea which of them was safe. This scene follows the weekend we finally emptied that drawer onto the kitchen table and started again — testing what still worked, buying a small set of cables we could trust, putting one proper charger by the desk and one by the bed, and packing what was left into a bag that actually closes. It is a charging-and-cable story, not a home-office rebuild. Budget about $120 to $220 depending on how many rooms you wire up at once.
