I hate to throw away those plastic coffee creamer containers. They certainly have the beginnings of something useful. Any suggestions, anyone?

I put an oxy absorber like from a pill box, and put in rice or oatmeal and it keeps well, and not having to worry about bugs as in just a card board box, you can dress the container up with jute or labels, I cut and insert the cooking directions in with the rice. you can also make snowmen out of them! :)

They're great for storing serving pet food.  We have budgies (parakeets), a cockatiel, and a cat.  I also keep clay cat litter in my trunk during the winter months.

You could give them to someone that has a sugar shack they use them to put maple syrup on tables, that what I do with the ones I don't use myself. Or give them to a shelter they can use them on table to put condiments or sugar in.

We go through a lot of liquid creamer in our home . I turned a few of mine into hanging bird feeders . Drilled a hole on either side of the neck of a cleaned out container and cut a opening about a third or halfway up to put the bird feed in.  You could cut a opening in both sides so the birds could get through either side to eat , but I chose to do only one so the rain doesn't get in so frequently . I then strung some florist wire or ribbon through the holes in the neck , tied it off , filled with feed and hung several in a large tree nearby. Birds are happy and I save some plastic from the landfill. Win win !!!

We use them in our shop to hold nails, nuts, bolts, screws. We tape one of the items in the container on the front of the container and put them on a 2 x 4 shelt attached to the wall. Items are easy to find and when you have a job to do just grab a container of nails for example and take with you to your job. 
When your job is finished just return to the shelf.

I rinse them and fill them with water and juice and freeze them for in the cooler when my kids go camping or for long road trips. keeps the rest of the food cold and they are easy to open when a cold drink is needed. I do the same with those single serving plastic milk drink containers.

This  may seem to be not as useful as the above mentioned, but I've cut the top off and used it as a funnel....

I know some that have a certain shape people have made snowmen out of them .. You can also clean them and save them. Then sell them on Ebay. Crafters are always looking for supplies. I see people selling toliet paper tubes, paper towel tubes, empty wine bottles and more..

We fill the empty liquid creamer bottles with our drinking water and refrigerate then if you want to grab a bottle of cold water, it's ready for you.
The dry creamer bottles work well for toddler snacks on a trip

Tammy · Answer

I have used plastic coffee and creamer containers to store my loose/spare nuts, bolts, nails and screws.  I also use them (the extra large ones) for flour, sugar, corn mill containers.  I use it to store old cooking oil which I dispose of when full.  I use them to store q-tips, hair pins, sewing notions and such.  I am big on recycling and re-purposing.  I also decoupage them to match the decor of whichever room I am placing them in.

LOVE IT>>>>use a box cutter to slit the side so the bottom can be removed with about 2' of the side ...invert the bottle and hot glue to the bottom put dry rice in to fill the bottom and trace out a cardboard disk to close the rice in...glued on..decoupage the botlle...instant flower vase...check youtube under recycle plastic bottle flower vase for ideas...decorate with beads, paper flowers, ribbon....the choices are endless...or place led flicker candle in for a romantic effect. For stained glass effect i glue on crinkled aluminum foil, then apply alcohol ink, then spray lacquer...you must watch youtube videos on this to see the total concept....the weight of the rice is to create a stable bottom so the vase does not tip over by top heavy flowers...also pinterest.com has beautiful pictures for ideas

Monique Daviau · Answer

It is a shack with large boilers the boil the sap from the maple trees and make maple syrup products primaraly. but they also have kitchens and and dinning area. Some are family run shacks and others are commercial (not the best experience when to commercial). Very traditional meals are served during the maple season with a lot of maple syrup on all the dishes served. Since it only happens in a short period of spring people have to make reservations for this time honnered tradition, mainly family gatherings. So they need containers to pour that wonderful liquid gold on all those gourgous dishes. The best coffee cremers are the ones that are transparent so that you can see the quality of the syrup.
