Other ideas are penny banks, cookie keepers, beach and sandbox toys, or \"stacking blocks\"...the uses are endless.

I use them to store chopped herbs for instance like dried mint and parsley from my garden. I use the plastic egg containers to seperate out all my earrings so the pairs can easily be found.

I\'ve wanted to start a few plants inside this spring before transferring to the garden. We can still have frost in May, so it\'s not quite time for outside yet. I might grab a few containers and start some tomato plants now after reading this again! I hadn’t thought of the seedling thing either, but it’s a great idea!

I already do some of them and have gotten some great ideas for other things to do. Most recently I took a lot of my containers along to Thanksgiving for leftovers :-) but there are dozen of uses.

They\'re really not that different from bona fide store-bought drawer organizers.
