I second the Velcro strap idea. For power tool cords, I usually use
something like these since they can't get lost:

For just about everything else, I use double-sided 3/4" Velcro strapping. The
Velcro product name is "One Wrap" and I've seen it for as little as $18 for 25yd
online. But there are lots of clones of varying quality. The version sold by
Monoprice is fuzzier and not as "grippy" but it's no less useful.

You'll be surprised how many uses you find for this stuff so you'll definitely
want to buy it by the roll.
