Stray embroidery string

So I end up with lots of stray thread that I still plan on using just littered around me. Anyone have any solitions to keeping them from tagging along when I walk away for a moment or just generally get eaten by my couch? I don’t like putting them back on the bobbin, I hilariously forget about em in those cases. I considered using clips but wanted to hear if anyone else has had any useful solutions. Thanks!
