Oooh, you just made me think about a variation on this... I have a few Altoids containers that I've affixed a magnetic sticky-backed sheet onto the inside bottom, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/10-Adhesive-M.../dp/B07V3CZ1BD
I used it to put eyeshadow pans in...but it would *really* be handy to keep pins/needles from falling out of a little travel kit for sewing!
