I have a drawer full of those types of little containers. I use them for storing tiny screws, buttons and all those little "pieces" of collectables, keepsakes, etc. that chip or crack off. (that you know you will be looking for someday).

I also have that same little container you displayed, (which is great stuff, by the way..) which I filled with vanilla oil extract. It sits on the top of one of my china cabinets in the living room. When I want an air freshener, I twist off the lid and leave it open for awhile. Works great.

Great idea for an air freshener!

If you know of any scrapbookers, small jars can be very useful for little brads, buttons and other assorted things we use to scrapbooking.

What about as tiny spice jars? Might even be able to take an awl to one of the tops and make a small cinnamon shaker.

If you get several, you could put paint in them and have a cute little paint set.

Set it on your desk next to a large jar that resembles the tiny one, to remind yourself of the two choices you have when you use your mind.

I don't really have anything new to add, but I like the idea about traveling. Put lotion, pills, or small jewelry in it for easy travel.
