Ditto on the salt/pepper/sugar packets from fast food shops
Around here we have a nice place for breakfast, and we take out the packets we do not use. Nice thing is they all come in a long, narrow plastic bag (around 8x3 inches) to accomodate longer items like plastic knife/fork/spoon. The bag itself is great for TV and other remote controllers. It protects it from accidental coffee spill or other types of mishaps, especially when kids are around.
