    Poundland do various plastic boxes and as they're only a pound it won't matter if you make holes in it.

    The type pratman and dejavu posted are so much easier than the one bbl posted. That type may be cheaper, but it takes forever wrapping it round.

    Plain hosepipe. Slit it the entire length and just feed stuff in then stuff it out of the way.

    As has already been suggested, use cable ties. Cheap and effective.
