I use a shoe box with 'empty' toilet rolls for myne, stack the cardboard toilet rolls vertically like a honeycomb and put a coiled cable in each with the ends pointing up so you can see what they are.

Great idea! This is better than my "dump them all in a drawer" system.

Do you glued down the cardboard tubes?

Not who you asked, but if the rolls are glued down, it'll damage the box if you ever have to replace a tube, whereas your can replace a roll once it's worn out if they aren't glued down. Also glue makes it less directly recyclable when replacing them.
