These tubs are great for pens, acrylic paint tubes, seed packets and reviving pot pourri (pop it in there with a few drops of essential oil) We even use them at work to collect used ink cartridges before recycling.Sum of their Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331115807411036472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498056513224128577.post-33040738575630418542013-11-17T20:06:31.858+00:002013-11-17T20:06:31.858+00:00Oooo, Christmas present containers - why didn'...Oooo, Christmas present containers - why didn't I think of that!

They are perfect for stuffing with all sorts of odds and ends but you are right, there comes a point when you can't find any more room for them!
