I have a stockpile of Huggies wipes, and the containers are really nice! I hate to throw them away when I could think of a million uses for them. Do you save yours, and if so what do you put in them?

I use one for crayons, one for markers, one for my hankies I keep on my dresser, one for the reusable wipes I use with the cloth diapers.

You could also use them for storage of plastic bags - this would be nice with the one that allow you to dispense 1 wipe at a time.

Use to store cookie cutters, play doh cutters and tools, and make a very nice secret hiding spot for things if you put it your baby's closet. No one would think to look there.

I have about 6 of the containers that I saved but the best way to deal with them is to buy the refills when you need wipes instead of a new container.

I use mine as coupon caddies. My son uses a couple of them to put his Thomas The Tank Engine cards and Thomas the Tank Engine fold up catalogs in. He also has one for "his" coupons. LOL I've actually had to go in his coupon caddy before to get some good ones out.
They're also nice for guys to use in the garage to put screws, nails, bolts, etc in. They're better than coffee cans because you can't loose the lids to them.

I use them when I travel. Since you can't take toiletries onto planes anymore I pack them into an empty tub so they don't get smushed and all over everything.

Someone once suggested using them to put the packets of seasoning/gravy in. I had never even thought of that, but it sure does come in handy. Now I don't have to try to see into the cupboard, which is well above my head, to find a packet of gravy. I just look for the wipe container, and there it is!

They make great sorting containers. Smile

Wow.. You guys are creative! I just use them for my daughters toys that have a million pieces.. now I have so many more ideas! Thanks everyone!

My husband has even used them for sorting his knick-knacks (his screws, nuts, bolts, and all that jazz).

Another use is for kool-aid packets. We stock up on them when they are on sale in the summer.

My daughter uses 3 in her drawers to keep socks and underware organized and the loose socks get a home until they can be paired up again.

great for camping to carry salt ketchup mustard packets from resturants in. also for plasticware.

It never occurred to me to use the containers for anything else, even though I leave them sitting around because I feel guilty throwing them away! There are some great ideas here!

I used the red winnie the Pooh ones for small Christmas gifts. Just put on some ribbon and a bow and called it good.

i found food city dryer sheets on sale one time for a $1 each so i bought several boxes, instead of having all these boxes laying around, i put the sheets into the wipes container and use the popup lid to dispense one at at time, this works great for me
