Let's get started.

Why reuse bottles and boxes?

Reuse is not only a way to be more sustainable (although that is a huge bonus!), but also a sensible method to organize at zero cost and, why not, also an excuse to slow down and carve out time to create and invent. Beyond the playful and practical aspect, however, there is something bigger behind reuse: sustainability. Every container that doesn't end up in the trash is a step towards a world with less waste. And it's not just a practical matter: it's a message we can convey to those around us, showing that every small gesture counts.

How to reuse gummy candy boxes

The rigid boxes of the CBD candies they are the easiest to reuse and a true dream for those who love order (or at least try!). They are compact, durable, easy to customize, and come in two sizes. Here's how you can use them:

Jewelry box: They are perfect for keeping rings, earrings, and necklaces safe, both at home and when you are traveling. You can keep them as they are or paint them, decorate them with washi tape, fabric, or stickers to personalize them however you like.

Pen holder: Staples, erasers, thumbtacks... all those little things that seem to magically disappear from your desk will find a new home and be within reach. You can keep the box open for direct access to all your items while you work, study, or create.

Spice rack: once thoroughly cleaned, the little boxes are perfect for holding loose spices, salt, sugar, cocoa, or dried aromatic herbs. You can personalize them with labels and display them nicely in your kitchen.

Handmade gift packages: If you love giving personalized gifts, candy boxes can become your secret for creative packaging and zero waste. Inside, you can put small bath salts, spices, chocolates, a homemade candle, or, why not, even a piece of jewelry. To decorate them, use ribbons, bows, and a handwritten note. If you have a collection of boxes, you can create a coordinated gift set.

Earphone case: the small boxes are the ideal container to store your earphones neatly, put them in your bag, backpack, or on the bedside table, and never lose them again.

Musical Shakers: all you need to do is fill it with some rice or dried beans to have maracas that "play" for children (and adults).

How to reuse 10 ml and 30 ml bottles

Travel bottles: who has never had to throw away an almost full bottle of shower gel at check-in because it exceeded the liquid limit? With the bottles of 10 or 30 ml, this problem does not exist. These are formats approved by all airlines. Wash your bottles well, let them dry, and fill them with shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. If you like, you can personalize them with labels. P.S.: you can also put perfume in them and use the handy dispenser to avoid wasting a single drop.

Mini pots: if you love greenery at home, this idea is for you. The 30 ml bottles of CBD oils are perfect to transform into mini pots for succulents. Here's how to do it: clean the bottle thoroughly, making sure there are no residues. Add a layer of small pebbles at the bottom for drainage and fill the bottle with some soil, then insert your plant. Place several bottles together on a shelf and create a mini urban jungle. It will be a sight to behold!

Essential oil diffusers: this is a super relaxing idea! If you have empty bottles, you can turn them into essential oil diffusers. You will only need: an empty and clean bottle, your favorite essential oil (lavender to relax, citrus to energize), a carrier oil like jojoba oil or almond oil, and wooden or bamboo sticks. Fill the bottle with the carrier oil and essential oil (about 20 drops), insert the sticks, stir and leave them for about two hours. Then flip them and enjoy a fragrant relaxation.

Containers for massage oils: Create your own personalized massage oils using your favorite carrier oil (almond oil, jojoba oil, argan oil) and one or more essential oils. The bottles will help you preserve the properties and aromas of all the oils.

Other creative ideas

Both the bottles and the boxes for gummy candies are perfect for storing small cute and mischievous things. Yes, those very ones, the ones that love to hide:

Beads: if you love DIY jewelry, embroidery, or other creative projects that require the use of small beads, these containers can become your ideal ally to keep everything organized. You can separate the beads by color, shape, or size and label bottles and boxes to find your beads more easily.

Nails and screws: both bottles and small boxes can become practical containers to keep in the tool kit. Nails and screws in the bottles and bolts and larger screws in the small boxes.

Seeds: thanks to their compact size and airtight seal, they are ideal for keeping seeds protected from moisture, light, and extreme temperatures. You can easily label each bottle or box with the seed name and harvest date, making it even easier to organize your vegetable patch or garden.
