I love the tins too. I have ones for different uses in many places of my home. Some even in the garage holding specialty tools. I think singer came out with a darling series some time ago, and I grabbed them while I could. I keep such things as different sized binding makers in one. Another has the clover Yo Yo and flower makers in it. I have a huge one for my button collection and even my fmq'ing foot from bernina came in it's own tin.
Of course I had to have my cookie cutters stored in something, and extra makeup in my dressing area has a few. My pantry has promotional tins and jars I love too. Tins, paper mache', ceramic covered containers, glass containers are my favorite things to keep things in. Love them!
I think many of the manufacturers use them as promotional items at christmas time.
I guess my family and friends know that too, because I have a few that were gifted to me through the years.
