What do you do with those little metal boxes after the Altoids are gone? Seems a shame to toss them.

For us, we have so many vehicles at the moment (can you tell it's not my idea to keep so many), so I started using those metal boxes for the spare keys. I use one box per vehicle and label the outside of the box as to which one it belongs. They stack easily inside a cabinet and can be quickly retrieved when needed.

Interested to hear what others may be using them for. I'm thinking they may come in handy for someone who does sewing, or jewelry making, or any other kind of hobby where small items need to be contained.

Who needs more than 1 ball marker? The pros on television use a coin.

They are great for storing some toothpicks in the glove compartment.

You can donate them to the polymer clay club. They are creative and make really nice projects .

Don't need the metal container. Just have to use the condoms faster.
