That time of year: heart shaped tins

[mizarchivist]

Last year I totally failed to find a single heart-shaped tin around Valentine's Day.
I request that if anyone sees any, let me know. I'm determined to get one. Even if I have to buy it and thow away eat the contents. Well, not so determined if they're very expensive, but a few bucks? Why not.

These (http://www.weddingfavorsunlimited.com/fillable_wedding_dress_tins.html) are hideous in their original form, but would be adorable with your art on them. You have to buy 50, though.

These (http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse&origin=browseProductMain.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPrefix=11&sku=65/90091&xsaleSku=32/932&cm_sp=Cross%2520Sell-_-Product%2520Detail-_-+Product%2520Detail) have clear lids, but you can buy a lot of 12.

And these (http://www.papertreyink.com/pack_tins.html) or these (http://www.blissweddingsmarket.com/store/000171.htm) might be exactly what you're looking for.

Half my fun is to find them vs. buying them online... the latter ones are definitely on the cute side, but WOW, expensive!
I've no specific plans once I have them other than to do something schmoopy eventually

Well, I think Rite Aid in Davis had some--not the flat Altoid hearts, sadly, but a more rounded tin with a non-hinged lid, not as small as the ones in the above links. Relatively cheap ($1 a tin?). CVS seems to have no Altoid hearts either, but I hold out hope that it's individual by store, and maybe a larger CVS will have them. I do not, however, recommend waiting till they go on sale after V-day, as this didn't work last year.

Oh, and if you don't like the mints, I recommend handing them out at the con. Most fen can stand a breath freshener or two. ;)

You definitely get props for putting me on to the whole tin notion in the first place, and particuarly the heart shapes. Thanks for the intel. I was definitely not going to wait til after, because they're GONE by VDay proper in favor of Easter candy. Dumbasses.

Good idea about handing out mints at the con! Especially if I'm a Nurse ;)

I'm thinking Christmas Tree Shoppes, AC Moore, and/or Michaels. When I go in to get my next fix (& more dpn's for socks), I'll check whichever one(s) I happen to be in for you.

xoxo!
