So much more than a toothbrush holder

Way back when I was in esthetician school I found a need to store my make-up brushes without damaging the fine and delicate bristles of the brushes. At the time I was looking for an alternative to the standard brush bag that contained a few elastic pieces inside that secured the brushes flat. Storing the brushes flat seemed to distort the shape of the bristles and left me displeased with them. At the time I found that using a toothbrush holder was a great way to store the brushes upright and allowing the brushes to keep the original form and shape.
 So for years I have stayed with this discovery and have never found another device that does a better job. I love toothbrush holders for several reasons: they can be as inexpensive or as luxurious looking as needed, replaceable, and can be purchased anywhere. Depending on your preference, you can spend a few dollars on one, you can buy a stainless steel one at Bed Bath & Beyond for $80.00 bucks, or you can find something in between. My point being that they are affordable and accessible to everyone. And if you are someone that keeps your cosmetics out on the bathroom counter, you can easily find a holder that coordinates with your bathroom decor. Should you decide to redecorate, you're not stuck with a storage device that doesn't go with the new decor. 

Here are a few more items that can be stored in a toothbrush holder:
