Hello all,
This is cooking related becuase I need those little 5gm jars or less to put spices in for gifts and samples to my friends. I also don't know where else to ask this.
Do you know where to find such 5gm or less little see through plastic jars with lids? Ones you can put spices/powders/makeup/creams/etc. in?
Where do they sell such stuff and how much are they?
Thanks

Did you want something like these?



I did a quick internet search and found this site: Link

They have just about every size you can imagine, also to avoid shipping try walmart or the like I'm sure they have some small containers.
Another thouht buy cheap baby food, feed a hungry baby or dump them and use the empty jars.

I've made spice mixes in the past -- and baby food jars are the easiest thing to use- they are cheap... have a tight seal... and the glass is better than plastic as it doesn't end up smelling like the spices....

Strained Prunes and baby apple sauce are great in baking - savethe jars when you are done

Oh, don't worry, the rites themselves aren't unholy. At least, not in my belief system.

for spices I would recomend a tin, as light can break down spices and herbs.

Cynthetiq

the place i recommended sells tins as well...

Do you have a Bulk Food or Health Food store near by? They often have a range of small jars for sale.

I would also try a good Dollar Store.

This is my recommendation as well. Places that sell spice in bulk -- mainly natural food stores, but also many "regular" markets with bulk bins -- also sell spice jars. They're about the same size and shape of a normal jar of spices, that you might buy, made of glass, with sturdy plastic twist-on lids, and of course no labels.

If you want a shot at getting what you want quickly, I'd call a couple of natural food stores in the area and ask if they sell jars for putting bulk spices in. Odds are pretty good one of them will have something decent.
