Suggestions for too-small bedside table

[River]

Hello All, My bedside table is way too small to place items like a bottle of water, Kleenex box or a clock. Any suggestions? The water bottle is the priority here.
Thanks!

Is there room for a shelf or 2 above the tabletop?

Pictures do wonders.

Too small for a bottle of water??? Hmmm...that IS small! Is there any room between your bed and wall? As said above, maybe a picture would expand ideas.

I installed on each side a folding adjustable cup holder for the morning coffee. They work great.

Do like I did and hang a gerbil water bottle from you overhead cabinet

in all seriousness, a picture would help us come up with the best options

Well, that is a small area. Not knowing your handyperson skills, I would first suggest a couple of screw in eyelets into the wall. The distance apart would be determined by a lightweight bungy cord. So essentially, the suggestion is a bungy cord to hold items on the shelf, even if they lap over the edge. For the really small items like chapstick, maybe repurpose an aerosol can’s cap? Small items would be loose in the cap, but the cap held in by the bungy.

On my boat they had shelf fencing, You know the pegged fence rail type idea.

I just gave up and use a narrow, long decorative basket placed between the wall and my pillow on each side of the bed. Holds everything and no chance of falling and getting in the slide movement.
