Give That Tin a Second Spin

Posted by Ted - January 15, 2013 - blog

It makes perfect sense that folks who care about all-natural, Earth-friendly ingredients in the products they use would also be concerned about reducing, reusing, and recycling.

That’s why Sweetriot has a section on their website dedicated to clever reuses of the cute little tins they use to package the cacao nibs that are included in the January Yuzen box.

After you’re finished enjoying these delectable (and guilt-free) little treats, check out the Sweetriot website to see all the creative and handy uses that Sweetriot fans (called “rioters”) have posted – and perhaps add a few of your own.

A rioter named Anu uses them to corral tiny necessities in her purse, like bobby pins, paperclips, and bandages. Ted stores his gadgets in them, like his camera cable and his earbuds. And Diane uses them to carry around treats for her dog Susie, who attends obedience classes.

Then, while you’re in a creative mood about the three R’s, don’t forget the pretty Yuzen paper that comes in each of our boxes. Recently, we asked our subscribers to share their ideas about how to reuse the beautiful strips, and we were tickled at all the responses. Making bookmarks out of them is a popular idea, and they’ve also been used in scrapbooking and cardmaking, to mat photos, and to decorate gift wrapping. If you have a different idea, please share it with us in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

Sweetriot’s website is www.sweetriot.com  If you decide to replenish your cacao nibs (and your tin collection), use code RIOTING20 at checkout to score 20% off your order.
