As the owner of YOU gNeek - unique items for the geek and gadget enthusiast in YOU, we package and ship many of our small jewelry items in small pillbox tins. These tin boxes are the size of the Mini Altoids Tins and we love the fact that they are reusable and can be recycled. We can't force our customers or owners of these tin boxes to recycle but we can offer fresh DIY projects to turn their tins into cool gifts and toys and, yes, gadgets in our upcoming instructables.

If you wanted to include a minifig without taking up room, you could use one of the key chain minifigs or turn a regular one into a keychain. Then punch or drill two small holes into the box and thread the key ring through. You could also glue the bottoms of two containers together and then they would open on oposite sides or you could glue more flat pieces on the bottom and make the tins stackable. Though that would obviously make it slighty less pocketable.
