    Decorate it the way you wish to go with your décor and you should be able to store coffee, tea bags, anything dry that needs a tight cover to stay fresh. Pasta, cookies, candy, whatever you want. You could use it to store pens, pencils, any number of things.

    Dfm has asked the right question, as, if the container is more of a cardboard, or has a cardboard liner, it will be impossible to completely remove the residual oil from the cookies. It will eventually go rancid, and, will be absorbed by whatever you are storing inside.

    Sometimes also, depending on the porosity of the plastic, similar containers originally used in the sale of food containing any fat, will retain oil particles as well, and will therefore also be unsuitable for storing anything else that for the same reason.

    You could spray paint it, chalk paint it or decopage it. Plenty of options. Washi or patterned duck tape would work too.

    I would store sewing notions, buttons, wine bottle corks, paper clips, glass beads or marbles, basically any craft supplies or office supplies. You can also use it for personal care items like bobby pins, barrettes, rubber bans. Finally, make a First Aid kit out of it -- hold band-aids, tape, tweezers, scissors, ointment, etc. OH ONE MORE! Make a beach/pool kit - store lip balm, sun block, bug spray, wet wipes for sandy feet. The options are endless!

    I have access to Amish dry goods store...the Amish don’t use modern fridges, cars etc.the goods are dry...think instant soup. They come in thin plastic bags...I save containers to fill with the dry goods, I can peel the label off the bag and put it on another sturdier container. I can make single servings o

    f soup, muffin..no left overs.
