5 Quirky Uses for a Mint Tin

5 Quirky Uses is a new periodic feature for Strange & Charmed. For each post, I will select an everyday item and suggest five alternate uses or ways to upcycle the item in a fun or unusual way. Keep up with these posts with the Quirky Uses category!

I love breath mints and especially the cute tins they are frequently stored in. But what do you do with those tins once your mint supply runs out? It seems such a pity to just toss the empty tin, so put yours to good use with these 5 Quirky Uses!

1. Wrap up your earbuds and store them inside the tin.
2. Use your tin as a travel pill box.
3. Store quarters for parking meters in the tin and leave it in your car.
4. Use the tin to make a mini first aid or on the go sewing kit.
5. Keep hair ties and bobby pins in the tin for quick, organized access.
