Ideas: what you can store and give in these tins
The tins in this category are true all-rounders. Here are a few ideas for using them:

- Little surprises: the flip-flop mini tin and the metal mini suitcase hold a few chocolates, sweets, a voucher or a piece of jewellery.
Tips: keeping tea, coffee and supplies full of flavour
To make sure your tea and coffee keep their full aroma for a long time, follow these simple rules:
- Store tea and coffee in a cool, dry place away from light so that the aroma lasts. A closed tin protects against light better than a glass jar.
- Do not place the tins right next to the hob or oven. Heat and steam damage the aroma.
- Keep strongly scented varieties such as peppermint or smoked tea separately so that the aromas do not mix.
- Buy smaller quantities and refill regularly. That way the contents are always fresh.
- Label your tins with the variety and filling date – practical and decorative at the same time.
By the way, the storage tin and tea tins are not just for tea: baking ingredients such as nuts, almonds, oats, raisins or homemade vanilla sugar are also well kept in them. That way everything is at hand for your next bake, and your kitchen shelves look tidy and coordinated.
Gift ideas and combinations
Filled with homemade chocolate or tea, every tin becomes a personal gift. Several tea tins in different colours look particularly lovely side by side: mint, pink and black share the same dimensions and therefore combine beautifully into a set, completed by the bird tea tin. Fill each tin with a different tea or with your own herb blend from the garden and tie the tins together with a ribbon. For coffee lovers, the coffee tin with bamboo lid, filled with freshly ground coffee and accompanied by a few homemade biscotti, is perfect. And if you love baking, put a portion of granola or almond biscuits in the storage tin with pink flowers. For Christmas, Mother's Day or as a thank-you for your host, gifts like these always go down well. You will find boxes and packaging for larger gifts in our Boards & boxes range and more tins among the Cookie & Pastry Tins.
