If you like to repurpose things

I hate throwing things away if I can find something else to do with them. I have several Medela milk storage tubes that are essentially brand new and have no use for them. an someone help me figure out a good use for these things? I hate to throw them away.

Here's what I'm talking about:

Put spices in them?

I have a lot of beads, for making various things.  Those would store beads very nicely.

I thought about that, but our spice drawer is really shallow. There's just enough room for me to put them in in the containers they came in (which are shorter than these tubes).

Travel-size containers for Tylenol, tums, vitamins, etc.

This. Or you could put colored water, glitter, beads and other fun stuff in them and glue the tops on for a fun toy for LO. I don't know how strong or transparent they are.

I would save beads in them or medicine on the go maybe save for arts and crafts sruff?

Seriously, if someone wanted them and would pay shipping, I'd send them to them. I have so much of this Medela stuff laying around, I hate to throw it all away. As it is, I'm probably going to have to throw the pump away because I don't know anyone who'd want a second-hand one. Everything else, I'll gladly send along.
