Default Uses for Band-Aid Tins

I bought some of those cute little band-aid tins but now I'm not sure what to use them for. Anyone have any cute ideas for them?? I thought they would be fun to alter but now I'm not sure what to put in them. Thanks for any help!

They are really cute all decorated up like the lunch pails and then put tags inside or coupons for free goodies or help.

Love notes and candy for valentines?

I didn't know they still made bandaid tins; I thought they all came in paper boxes nowadays. But You could do the same as suggested above with an altoids box.

I just saw the cutest thing in a blog I read this morning:
Stamps-a-latte Stamp Cafe

It makes me want to scrapbook, and I don't scrapbook. I think I could do this though...

I made one not too long ago for my dad who was sick. I put some cough drops, tylenol, a couple of tea bags and one of those small travel packs of kleenex in it. -- They're great for mini-care packages!

Last year when school started I covered some with Palette reinkers and alcohol, then stamped with a school theme. Filled them with Tootsie Rolls and added a tag with a little note. Gave the to DDs' teachers as gifts to start the year.

This is a GREAT idea! My son comes home from his honeymoon tonight, it makes me want to make a box for them and chip squares to put pictures of their honeymoon in! It would be great sitting on their desks at work!

Yes. They are by Provo Craft and can be purchased from many on-line stores like Eclectic Paperie, CreativExpress, Inky Antics. Lately, I've seen gals adding little tags with the old link ball key chains. Very, very cute!

I made one of these for my granddaughter, and filled it with lipgloss and chapstick. Perfect size. You could also use it as a crayon box.

If you have friends that love the bella stamps.. I stamped a bunch of images and put them inside the boxes and send them out.. they loved it.. I have made so many of these tins using a lot of the designer paper.. so easy...
