Would these be able to hold m&amp;m's inside? I was thinking of using them as small favor boxes filled w/ m&amp;m's

I don't think you would be able to put m&m's inside without taking it completely apart. At our party the kids loved the animals and wanted to take one home, but all in one piece. What I used was a box that looked like a gold bar. I found it on line at one of the party sites, but I don't remember which one. Then I filled it with candy.

They are not very big. You can hold a package if macaroni and cheese cooked in one holder. If you're hesitant, buy the one with three compartments. This is great for a party for 10-15 max.

I think so.! And since they are clear, you can see what is in it before you open the container. I would not recommend using them to store heavy items, or stacking them on top of each other, though. I hope that helps!

No, they are not too big and would work perfectly for your potpourri. I used them for my candy gifts and they were just right.

Yes. I used them for gift baskets for spice rubs. They were kind of tricky to get the lids in and off but nice looking and a great deal (considering what else is out there).

There is some play in the slots,I think if the protected boxes are not huge.you should be ok! Hope this helps

Yes! I love mine. I use them as spice jars. They are cheaply made, and if the box three were not really usable. But "you get what you pay for" right? Great favors!

Skittles for sure, and normal M&Ms; no problem--though Peanut M&M;'s might be too large. I use mine for cereal and they work great for everything small; larger cereals, like Cap'n Cruch, for example, get a little ground up.

I would say they can hold a decent amount. Depends on what you want to put in it. They are pretty strong. If you're planning on clothing, towels, and most household items items shouldn't be a problem. If you plan on holding books I wouldn't recommend it.

It would probably only hold three or four M&Ms; if they for through the opening. Maybe you'd be more successful with the mini M&Ms.; But I suggest getting bottles a little larger than these. :)

I think so. They have similar dispensers in frozen yogurt shops. In them, they store cookies, candies, granola, etc. I'm sure Skittles and M&Ms; would look nice in these canisters.

They're designed to hold playing cards only. I don't know if they make comic book sized boxes, although there could be a market for that kind of item.

They are very sturdy and could definitely hold measuring spoons. I just don't know if I would consider them slim. They're about 1/4" thick (maybe a little less). I use them to hold card stock together, and they do a good job.

It would depend on what you put in them. If you filled them I would think not. They are a bit hard to close and open so I would be careful with doing this for children depending on the age. I used these for charms that I was selling and can tell you they worked well for those but they do not hold a lot. They do not spread open much and do not hold any form of liquid. I would really recommend that you think about this twice especially if they are really young as I would worry about choking hazard.

Should be just fine for holding small boxesYou can also tape the box lid to the clear cover if box is to bigI was very pleased with the price and quality of these bins

I just measured the depth, and they'll fit, but only just: depth from the inside bottom to where the lid closes is 4.25 inches. Might be a problem if you want to use index cards.

They are NOT full-size. They are just over 2 inches and will not hold a lot.
