This could be in your nightstand, on it, or just close to your bed.

A ziploc bag of buckwheat hulls.
And a pocket knife, but that’s not weird.
(I’ve got a buckwheat pillow, its the best thing since fuzzy blankets. Its like using a miniature beanbag as a pillow.)

Axe, big knife, smaller knife. (All beside and won’t fit in my toolkit.)

Just the usual collection of books, pills, lotions, water bottle, jewelry, and so forth on my side of the bed.
On my husband’s side of the bed, a bokken (wooden practice sword) and shinai (practice sword made of bamboo slats).

I’ve got a few flags - Pride over my window, then England, Doncaster Rovers, and the Women’s Euros, on the bookcase.
On the bedside table, there’s a drink, my wireless earbuds, the remote control for the light, lots of (prescribed) drugs, talc, my old tablet, and a little dish with random jewellery, bobbles, tweezers etc.
I’ve got fairy lights on one wall, quite a few cuddlies all round the room, and a chair with piles of CDs and books (among various sweets!) on it.

Horizontal surfaces are at a premium in my flat, and i was fed up of my music books falling off these little packs on my lounge, so i moved the boxes up into my bedroom onto the other bedside cabinet:
Yup, these are all lateral flow kits.
When it became apparent that test and trace sites were coming to an end, the one i regularly attended twice a week would give me a couple of free boxes each visit. I amassed quite a few in those two months!
I have given away a few as well, but i still have enough to keep me going until they reach their expiry date…

This looks down on me whilst I sleep, a souvenir of the time a friend recruited me to help with an amateur power rangers fan-film project.
It was a… surreal experience to say the least.

I have a Paper Cardinal I made when I was 5 still hanging in my room from the celling. And I also have a Materneal family Picture from my very first family reunion which my Materneal grandma turned into a jigsaw puzzle for the “kids”. hanging on a bit of wall near my closet which I don’t use

Does a Baseball bat count as weird? It’s really just there’s in case somebody breaks in.

At the very least I have the plausible deniability of an axe being part of my toolkit…

If asked I’m going to start a game of rounders with my neighbours.

An old bleached out seashell my former stepmom gave to me during my brief stay in Jacksonville. She found it buried in her backyard, and thought of me.

Like LeadingZero’s husband, I have a shinai by my bed.
The weirdest thing I have, though, is a dedicated puke bucket (actually an old ice cream tub). Fortunately these days it’s mostly there due to tradition rather than need.

Before I moved, it was at least one knife, occasionally a double barreled pistol, and/or shotguns in the closet (all unloaded).
Now it’s just a suitcase of lingerie.
