In answer to your question. People put into these cabinets anything they 
wish to - or nothing at all. If you have enough wall space, you just 
hang it up and wait for it to find its purpose. If you don't have much 
wall space, you stuff it with hankies, pencils and pieces of string not 
worth saving.

fwiw

\u201cWe should feel offended or unsettled when we hear the word homeless not 
because we stigmatize those experiencing it but because we are ashamed 
at our own moral culpability in its existence and the continued harm it 
inflicts on the most vulnerable.\u201d Josh Kruger

\u201cTo argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, 
and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like 
administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist 
by scripture.\u201d \u2015 Thomas Paine, The American Crisis
