I like to recycle things when I can and hubby used to object. However, he takes Insulin twice a day and they are the perfect size to store the used needles. Once it is full, he can safely dispose of the used needles. I'm sure you and others will find hundreds of other uses.

what about a spare key container or for keeping sunglasses from scratching?

you could cover the outside w/ fabric & make pretty little flower vases.....or who knows what-----toothbrush holders, pencil/pen holders.......yada yada yada..........

I keep one by my sewing machine to hold my sewing glasses. Have been thinking of a way to line it with something soft but it doesn't really need a liner. All these suggestions are good and would be useful. Thanks.

the labels peel off to leave a plain container you can mark what is in it or get fancy and decorate the outside. the cystal light conatiner are like that too but more oval.I use them to store my rotary cutters in. i put in a quilted piece if material inside. also good for my little scissors or a small sewing kit if i take a project with me. and of course the ideas that they have mentioned are good.

Freeze them with water or juice to have "big blocks" that won't melt so fast when you put them in a pitcher.

Cover them with pretty fabric (elastic at top) and put potpourri in them.

Store tea bags...those flimsy boxes will be gone then
All great ideas!

we saved some and used them for flowers from our garden when we share. no waste or worry about returning the vase.

I would cut them to different heights and glue them together. Put it on my sewing table and put rulers, pens, markers, and all kinds of sewing things in it.
