I ordered a few of each of these as well as 2 small bamboo boxes from Amazon so I could fit one tin of each of the mints and gums in a small box in easy reach, both at home and at the office. I can move a variety box with a single grab and they fit into smaller places. I'd add a picture here if possible but I see no way to do it.
I love the tins themselves. They open easily with a single hand, and since they're top loading, I can finger-tap out what I want in the other hand and pop it closed. All of my Zellie's options in their own tins, in an easy access box and the whole thing is appealing to the eye.
The tins are thin but sturdy and they seal nicely. They are not aluminum! They are made from sheets of steel, coated in tinplate to impede rusting. They are BPA and BP deritives-free. I know this because I enquired and got a helpful reply. A lot of thought and care went into their development. I think they ought to add that to the webpage as customers care about such things these days - it makes a difference.
The lids are double walled in a way that seems insulating. Not sure if that's the purpose. The double wall may make them sturdier or hold the seal tighter. Maybe all three? Within that double layer is a 'lip' that sticks out and grabs the rim to seal it closed. Every portion feels like quality and I have the sense they'll last with lots of use for many years. Single hand use ins't fumbly either.
It's nice to put on the table for sharing after those business lunch meetings. Very portable if that's your purpose. I had been filling the plastic bottles but these save so much space and are more aesthetic to have around. I actually use Zellie's more often because it's easier to keep a variety close at hand + faster & easier to use.
It's been a few weeks and having two sets of these where I want them still feels somehow classy, fun, practical, and ready.
