I have a "collector's" Coke glass that I picked up from McDonald's that holds my change in one of the cup holders. My gloveboxes have a total of one 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male connector, one owner's manual, one pen, and one micro-USB car charger. An ice scraper/snow brush resides on the backseat floor, and that's all.

EDIT: Forgot registration and proof-of-insurance cards.
