In blue tack. New packets I just keep in stashed in the little pouch that came with my sewing machine, but once they are opened and used I just stick them into a blob of bluetack. The best place I have found is on top of my PC monitor - pins, needles, safety pins, even the odd cat whisker gets stuck to my monitor.
But I do have a blob for "in use" time, when I'm searching for a new thread or have to stop for some reason, I just put the needle in the bluetack blob on my cross stitch box which also holds a scribbled on working copy of my current chart.
In over a decade I haven't had any problems with the blue tack affecting the fabric, thread or needle. Weird maybe, but it works for me...
