Re-Use! It's Better Than Recycling!

K, this is just an excuse to share some nifty things, even if reuse is more effective than recycling.

22 Manly Ways to Reuse Altoid tins.

Less manly:


  • Emergency sewing kit


  • assorted hand needles
    silk thread around paper/cardboard or a few spare bobbins
    folding scissors
    velcro sticky-backs
    a selection of the most common buttons (like the spare ones from new shirts)
    tiny tube of super glue.


  • Female Emergency kit


  • Tampons (the new small ones like the pearl can fit a few)
    Panty-liner
    selection of pain killers


  • Toddler Distraction Kit
