This is so cute. I don't drink this coffee but I'm going ask people who do drink it to give me their containers.

I have a folgers can for my spare change jar. I can't wait to fill that puppy up. I love the idea of decorating it though. It would be nice to have an attractive little nest egg.

Ah that is so cute! I wish I drank coffee. I will have to find someone that drinks Folgers. Thanks for sharing!

really cute.. we also wrap ours with wrapping paper. Sometimes, I spray paint them and then let the kids glue stuff on them.

That is so cute

thanks for the link. This will come in handy for christmas gifts to teachers this year.

How cute! Thanks for the link!!

You know something funny? I expected the templates to somewhere say "folgers" on them, but the ones i saw made no mention of it. Which is cool. Because I wouldn't want to give a gift for say cookies and have the labling be an ad for coffee.

very cool. i will save that one to my favorites.

This was really cool. We drink Folgers coffee and I am going to start saving them.
Anyone have any ideas for what I can use them for besides cookie containers? Someone in my family already does cookies and I can't do them also. I love this idea for gifts for friends etc. but I want a frugal thing to put inside.

This would be a great idea for holiday cookies, or snacks like (trail mix, chex mix, peppermint bark, fudge, maybe popcorn balls?) I was thinking for other gifts too...scarf,mittens, and a hat would fit in there together. CD, (maybe a DVD), small cars or other inexpensive items for kids (You could fit $10 or more worth of small Dollar Store toys in there and the kids would have a place to put their Christmas presents when they were done playing). Better yet keep this container in the backseat of the car with small toys for your children during car rides, to ammuse them.

I have lots of ideas for these containers, I don't think my mom drinks this brand anymore though. I should have saved her containers when she was drinking this kind

I like it!! I will be saving this link in my favorites for furture reference. I don't remember where I saw this idea, if it was on here, someone jump in and take credit. You were to save the larger mayonnaise jars/peanut butter jars, etc. Decorate them and use them for pjs or for pedicure items. Title them "Jar of Jammies" for the pjs. Title them "Toe Jam Jar" for the pedicure items. I would think you could use these in the same way you would a gift basket. Like a spa gift basket, movie basket and the like.

You could used these for any holiday really. Print the blank template, design your own and use for birthdays, valentines... any holiday!

**Katybird** · 01-26-2008, 11:54 AM

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing the link with us.

**Lady_V** · 01-26-2008, 12:15 PM

I love it... I saved the link and will print them out soon to add to my files.

We drink Folgers and now I have an excuse to keep saving the canisters (I save them... always find a use for them)
