since you can write on them they would be great for sorted buttons,strips of velco,pens markers, rubber bands.I keep tape,pen, paper,address labels in my truck,then if I go somewhere and they aren't home I leave a note.those would be a good size for that.

I just bought myself a food/herb dehydrator two months ago and had collected these from my daughter, who kept about 2 dozen empties (although she didn't know why!).
I have been using these to store dried herbs from my garden, and dried fruit bits and specific dried herbs to make my own herbal teas. I plan to dry veggies this week in small batches and make up my own dry soup mixes.
I keep one for broken needles, bent pins and disposable sharps in the sewing room.

I love love love anything plastic w/ a lid now that I moved to the south! You have to cover everything to keep it from going stale (limp) or keep out bugs.
I also use them for everything from freezing/storing people food/pet food to craft/sewing, inside/outside storage. A lot of larger lids are thick enough to make nice quilt templates from. kids can play w/them - like when we were young and played w/ empty boxes. They are teriffic for packing up a "surprise" picnic (if we travel I always pack a cooler w/ fresh finger foods all cut up: carrots, celery, grn peppers, crackers, cheese, pepperoni, bread cubes. These plastic containers are perfect.)
Another great container is beneful dog food containers - nice lunch size containers for taking anywhere.
not to metion using in a sewing rm! sort bobbins by color, sort pins, sort fabric samples anything smaller and not flat enough to go into a folder.
Also, in early winter I start saving all plastic containers cus by Jan 1 I am starting masses of seeds in my kitchen. Great seed starters sharet
