Repurposing Ideas Give New Use To Tic Tac Boxes

'Tis the season for picnics. And while you're packing up your favorite food to go, you'll also need some seasonings to top them off. But a picnic basket can only fit so much, which is why we love this repurposing idea from our friends at Real Simple.

Simply transfer spices like pepper and salt into a Tic Tac box instead of carrying around a whole container. This will save space and keep carriers neater.

But they're not just for days out.

NewsOK also suggests using these little boxes for storing things like bobby pins, change and even seeds for the garden, so you'll never lose track of small items.

These clever organizing tricks definitely make us want to hold onto our little mint containers long after the breath fresheners are gone.
