These mega-useful empty containers are thin-walled (.032") clear-plastic tubes, 6-3/4" long x 2-1/8" dia, with red plastic, tight-fitting endcaps. We're thinking sandwich cookies, ritzy crackers, homemade treats, candies, emergency kits, fireflies, toiletry containers, door prizes, stocking stuffers, like that.

Originally intended for hospital use (Think Nurse Cratchit. Think cold, wet sponge baths.), these 12” x 9–1/2” x 4–1/4” deep washbasins have rounded ends and flat lips. The #5 plastic is that wonderful institutional–yellow color. But they’re indestructible, short of melting them, and they nest when not in use. Use them to store your craft supplies, the kid’s action figures, the cat’s squeeze toys. Or take up nursing.

Add a little pizazz to your nitro pills! This 1-3/4" x 1/2" dia container for meds is anodized aluminum in mostly silver but also could be in blue, turquoise, purple, red, gold (our choice). It's gasketed so it's watertight. We recommend cleaning the inside with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol before using, since some have a bit of rust-colored residue in them. Flashy!

You get a really nice, very Hollywoodish, gray steel film can, 10-7/8" dia x 1-3/4". Lots of uses for a can like this. Inside is a CD-ROM to walk you through creating an autobiography with text, video and/or audio entries (requires Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 or later, etc.). Which is fine if you have a life, but for us it's really all about the can.

You could, of course, put an actual vehicle first-aid kit in this empty, surplus "6545-99-211-1573 First Aid Kit-Vehicle", but it's also a perfect way to camouflage the emergency chocolate chip cookies, or to store auto-related receipts in the trunk of the car. In black-painted steel, with white lettering, a red cross, and a push-on lid. Measures 10" x 8" x 2" OA. Minor surplusy dings are probable.

Jug/Toolbox/First-Aid Supply Box. In bright red plastic. It was made to be a radiator water jug, so it will hold liquids, but that's just one of its uses, if you have any imagination. Measures 13" x 10-1/4" x 4-1/2" OA with a built-in handle and a 5/8" dia hole in the center on one long side, and a snap-on closure on one short side. A little hard to open until you figure out the secret. (You have to squeeze the sides together. Guess you shouldn't trust us with a secret!)

Half-ounce buckets with no handles. OK, medicine cups. Graduated in 1/2-tsp increments up to (3) tsps (1/2 oz) but would hold (5) tsps if you were careful not to spill. Translucent plastic, 1-1/2" tall and slightly flared to 1-7/16" dia at the top. Helpfully embossed "read label directions" and "wash after using." Would also make nice wastebaskets for contemporary dollhouses, itty-bitty Jell-O® molds, or diet cookie cutters.

Serve your exploded maize-kernel cinema snacks like the professionals do, but in a reusable plastic version of the "Classic Scoop Box." The standard size (circa 1911) is 8-1/8" tall x 4-3/8" square at the top. The humongosnacker (circa 1985) is 9-1/4" tall x 7-7/8" square at the top, and holds enough popcorn for a family of maybe 4. If everyone wants his own box, go for the set of (4), only a bit smaller than standard, at 7-1/8" tall. All are in red/white striped plastic and all say "Popcorn" on all four sides, in case you forget what you're eating.
