Decorative Tins

[TastyReuben]

Windigo posted a picture of her lovely Cadbury tin, and mentioned that she likes tins.

Does anyone else buy or collect nice tins to keep and display? We have several, here are a few that are actually in use right now:

One is for cheese biscuits/crackers, one has tea in it, and one had shortbread in it. We have many others.

Anyone else?

We have one from a Xmas present, contents are eaten but tin saved for biscuits/ cookies. I need to bake to fill the tin.
I'll get pic later when downstairs

When I made Christmas cookies/candies for friends and family, I also bought nice tins, as did my mother. I don't do that anymore, just don't have the energy for all that baking in a short period of time.

I will show off my tins later today!

I love tins because my grandma collected them too and I started with one she gave me

Finding food in decorative tins is hard where I live, I get most of my collection from ordering British treats or looking at thrift stores & online.

Fruit cakes also come in decorative tins during the Christmas season.

This reminded me of when I shared this photo to my work's Slack channel. From Portugal to the Philippines, from the USA to Australia, every grandma in the world uses a biscuit tin to keep the sewing kit!

Those cookies used to be really good. Haven't even seen them in many, many, many years.

I have to confess I've never seen a tin of these actually filled with biscuits.

I buy a tin every Christmas. They're everywhere here, from nice shops to discount stores and gas stations. Sam's Club (warehouse store) even sells them in giant tins.

I have never seen these in a Tin.. buying Tins is not much a Dutch thing. I got this knack from being raised with Brits in the house
