Need to tidy up mens beauty care bottles and lotions

I live in a small rented flat with my partner, he uses the en suite bathroom which is pretty small and has no shelving space.
He keeps all his personal care items just outside the door on our chest of drawers. I keep a few bits of mine there too which I am planning to move to the "family" bathroom.
What can I do to help him organise his things? Once we've removed the items that he doesn't use every day, there will still be several items (hair gel, deodorant, cologne, moisturiser).
He also has a terrible habit of putting things back not as pictured, but right on the front of the drawer unit which makes it look even messier. Pots and bottles everywhere.
Looking for advice and a way to keep thing tidy that he'll stick to (such as assigned spaces for each thing).
I'd love something that has a bit more of a "decoration" aspect too.

They attach to the existing door hinges and can be swung open once the door is closed.

9 years agoI love mirrored "open top" boxes - get them as tall as the tallest products. They make a small area look sleek and brighter , and he can still just grab and drop back when he has used stuff. I'd get a row of maybe four identical , about as narrow as a shoebox size or smaller so that they just sit along the top nicely together. weddingbee a few years back shows how to make them of you can't find any locally.
If your back wall was papered I'd be papering the boxes to match and then they wouldn't be so noticeable. (I'm a one for wallpaper!)
