This Rainbow Storage Doorstop is basically a bag with a weight in the bottom. I suggest using one of those rice heating bags that everyone has and no-one can ever find. That way you will always know where to find it on those rare occasions when you actually need it.

The doorstop is closed in such a way that you can drop small pieces of debris (Lego, marbles, crayons, bouncy balls) into it on your way past without having to open it. I find this SO helpful because it means I only have to sort the contents of the doorstop once a month, instead of having to put the relevant toys in the relevant containers each time I step on or trip over them. When you want to retrieve anything from the doorstop, it is a matter of seconds to unfasten the closure.

Alternatively, you can also use it as a hanging basket for lighter small items.

It is 25cm high and 48cm in circumference, but can easily be enlarged if you need something bigger.
