Tic tac containers are transparent, but tins can be more robust – which ever you use, you can organise any manner of things. As they are a uniform size, you can also store them easily in a box.
Have you tried using mint containers:
- To paperclips, push pins or drawing pins safe
- To store/transport bobby pins and hair ties (instead of losing them at the bottom of a school bag or handbag!)
- To keep small earrings in one spot in your travel vanity bag
- To store spare or hidden keys
- To keep spare buttons in one place
- To storie pins and needles in a sturdy container
- As a place to keep your headphones in, so they don’t get tangled in a bag
- To carry a couple of spare batteries when travelling
- As a way to carry dog treats without making your pockets smell
- As a container to keep spices fresh and airtight
- Continuing with edibles, you can fill a tic tac container with sprinkles to dispense easily
- To keep matches dry
- Make a travel sized noughts and crosses/tic tac toe game (the pieces store easily inside!)
