Julius Meinl has great tins that for their coffees.

I have a whole stack of Illy coffee cans that I've been saving for a re-use project. I like the packaging idea, but they're kind of small for most gifts. I've brainstormed other ideas with friends such as using them for a wine rack. Any other good ideas so I can put these cans to good use?

Wow, now I know what to do with my left over Campbell's cans! THANK YOU! YOU SAVED MY LIFE! Do you have any more out-of-these-world ideas?! PLEASE, what would I do without this suggestion! WOOOOOOH!

For some more nice ideas along these lines, see my post on German tins with tasty treats and tea tins - not just for tea.
