9 Alternative Uses for a Mini Pill Box

Recently my husband started taking Glucosamine, but this was not in the cute little packet of vitamins he chugs down every morning. 

So I had to get him a vitamin/pill carrier.  And then as I filled up his vitamins for the week I realized I really liked this cute and practical container.  

I wanted one of, I wanted one for us all!  I’m on a mission of mass organization and I will prevail!

For Travel

Aside from the obvious use to bring your vitamins or medication.  Earrings, bracelets, chains, rings all fit neatly in this wonderful snap shut container.  

For Crafts

Do you like to bead or make jewelry?  These will help keep your beads, jewels and other essentials in their place and organized. 

Do you sew?  You can hold your thread bobbins in an organizer, your thimble, your needles, buttons or pins (in a case with larger compartments)

For Work on the Go

Fill a compartment with rubber bands, binder clips, paper clips, and an eraser, etc.  You can customize it to what you need and find one that will have the right sized compartments.

For Camping 

Measure the herbs and spices you may need to whip up some amazing meals at the campfire or in your RV without taking full bottles of herbs and spices.

For the Gardener

Do you harvest your own seeds for the next season?  These will work great for storage and organization while you get ready to plant.

For around the House

Use it for small nails to hang up pictures, thumb tacks, or screws – in fact, anything small that usually gets lost in your junk drawer will now have a home.

For the Cook

You’ve probably seen those great ideas on Pinterest on how you can freeze your herbs and olive oil in an ice cube tray… right?!  I’ve been wanting to try this but I don’t like that its not covered.  Well make it in a pill organizer?  Pop in your herbs and olive oil, close it and BAM!  

It also works great for freezing lemon or lime juice, or to make fruit ice cubes to jazz up your water.

For the Kids

For car trips, put different size of beads or macaroni and give them yarn to make a necklace or bracelet. 

Are you potty training?  How about small stickers,  mini marshmallows, goldfish crackers or M&M’s (depending on your method) and having that ready for them to pick out their treat for using the potty?  

Does your tot take breakfast or lunch to daycare? 

How about toppings for oatmeal like brown sugar, raisins or other dried fruit?   My son takes salads for lunch, I’m excited to fill one up with sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, croutons or tortilla strips to help him jazz up his meal as needed.

For the Glam Mom

Do you do your own nails?  Like to add rhinestones or accents?  Pop them into one of these pill organizers! 

Keep your nail tips and accents organized and ready to apply.  Do you wear fake eye lashes?  Great place to keep them safe and ready to use

Where can you find them?  I find them at the Dollar Tree, 99 Cent Store, and drug stores usually for just a few dollars.
