My dad used the cigar boxes. Mom would paint and label them for his work shop.

you brought back so many fun memories for me with your 'boxes' My father used the cigar boxes to organize his hobby train parts. My mom used the chocolate boxes to organize her spools of threads for her sewing machine.
Thanks for the memories!

I love the ideal and I use the heart shape Valentine box for jewlry boxes. They are plastic and will last. I have about 5 of them filled with jewlry.

I have a three year old girl and we were doing fine with her toys with clear plastic boxes until her brother came along (he is now two). To ease the picking-up process when he was smaller I photographed all the toys that went in each plastic box separately. I then TAPED the appropriate PICTURE to the box where it belonged. No more excuses, now even friends can place toys in their appropriate box and it prevents the kids from opening all the boxes to find THAT toy.
Freeze a box of Yoohoo, cut off the top and Yumm! I get my Chocolate fix with half the box and put the rest away for my next craving. 110 calories a box
When I go on long runs I take chocolate milk with me and pack flexibile ice packs around it in a lunch box. When I get back to my car after the long run, not only do I have a nice cold container of chocolate milk, but I also have some ice packs in case something is sore. Chocolate milk is thought to have a perfect 4:1 carb/protein ratio for recovery so it works great after a run!
