I store my shoe shine kit in a nice wooden one.  

I've also got some specialty card decks in others.  

Paperwork/deeds/titles have been a perennial favorite content as far back as I can remember.

Home first aid kit.

Sewing kits

Spare batteries

check stubs

rolled change

dried herbs

if you run out of uses before you run out of boxes, send some of the wooden ones my way, I can always find something to do with them.

Store where I buy my cigars makes the purses out of the many left over boxes.
Felt the interior and add a nice latch and handle.

i have one under the Sangean 909 radio in the bookshelf next to my bed. it's a nice one that doesn't have any labels or branding on the outside. there's a;so a small solar panel that will run the radio in the box.

in it i keep a 2xAA LED flashlight with batteries in it, and batteries for the radio. prophylactics are in something else. spare mags and knives are also somewhere else, but it wouldn't hurt to put a SAK in the box.

I work at a Clock Shop & that what we use to set the movements on when we are separating/Refitting the plates.
Love those little cigar boxes for keeping all those little parts in check.

Great for all my little AR & 1911 springs & spare parts.

I converted one into a gun hide.  Stored it on the shelf in my office for quick access.  That changed with the arrival of my kids, though.  Not secure enough to leave to chance.

I have a couple antique cigar boxes that belonged to my grandpa.  They are used for holding pocket knives and watches.  I would like to get a couple more.  They look nice on my dresser.  When I shit the bed, the grandkids will fight over the knives and the watches.

I get old wooden ones from the cigar shop on The Royal Mile in Edinburgh

Use them for small fittings like Lift-the-Dot fastener parts, buckles, M1910 belt hooks, rivets, etc.

When I go away to trade at shows I use a box or two for small hand tools, reels of thread, etc.









....plus they are good for bullets, primers, etc.
