Also, knitters like to use the tins to hold their stitch markers, tiny scissors, tape measure, ect.

The Altoid gum boxes are the perfect size for iPhone earbuds. I drop the tin in my book bag and always know where my headphones are. I’ve also used the regular size box for my iPod Shuffle + earbuds. Just the right size!

I feel bad for every tin I threw in the recycling now. I have saved a few to use as money math projects for our homeschooling. I really like your ideas though.

I keep one filled with pennies under the parking brake of my car (my Honda has a little recess there). I always have change at the ready when I need to use the drive-through. Maybe I will upgrade to one with a cent sign on the lid…
