just a few thoughts, with everyone talking about the whitmans sampler tins and what not christmas is coming, and the swiss colony company offers alot of items in tins.

you can give away the (repacked) goodies and keep the tins for yourself.

no this isnt a commercial for the company, i just thought of it because we ordered from there last christmas and i still have this small round metal tin that seals really well.
its about 2 inches high, 4-5 inches across.


my other thought is for those of us into crafts or more old fashioned survival skills like making your own candles.

what about this idea, take the mini altoids tin and fill it with your candle wax and a few wicks as a portable candle with built in wind screen?

an alternate idea for those handier with tools, solder 2 thin walls (aluminum maybe?) into the tiny altoids tin to make 3 individualized emergency survival candles ?
