OMG I cannot believe I never thought of this! My husband and I are both smokers :( and the packs laying around drive me nuts! I craft a lot and have all kinds of little things laying loose. Now I have a place to keep.
My lil homemade beads Little seashells paperclips tacs. You could stash cash in them to have handy in the car - just have to be careful what you threw in the trash! They'd make great travel grooming kits with the little nail clippers & such
Some packs have really pretty artwork on them, too. Of course, then I'd have all these cigarette packs around the house.

Mr. Thrifty, you've GOT IT. Although I've never smoked, I find LOTS of used cigarette CASES in garage sales for 25-50 cents, and boxes tossed on curbs. I can now transfer from cellophane to protective coverings..for CHEAP or FREE. Change is a problem to store for me. Wallets never have enough room, and the coin carriers are usually limited. With as little makeup as I use anymore, those CASES would just about handle the two compacts and chapstick nicely. The boxes might give my 8 yr old grandson some "ideas" that Gammy might smoke or condone smoking, so I'll stick to the cheap harder CASES your suggestion brought to mind.
Any list for all those used sunglass cases we all have accumulated, especially the ones with no snap or closures? I have quite a few, have given many away, but would be interested in recycling them properly. I wear RX glasses now, so I have no need for several cases of ANY sort for glasses as they were intended. I've used them for pens/pencils, receipts, combs, stamps, school photos, manicure tools, playing cards, temporary first aid when needing bandaids, tiny address books/calculators/business cards, and film storage. Any OTHER or BETTER uses for them?
