Cultural Note
The expression 'cajón de sastre' (tailor's drawer) means a catch-all or miscellaneous category — like a junk drawer. Every Spanish home has that one cajón where random items accumulate: batteries, tape, old keys, and miscellaneous odds and ends. Sharing drawer space when moving in together is a classic adjustment for Spanish couples.
