- Sock cosies

Equally great for stationery or small bits and pieces, these jars will keep your workstation in good order. - Soap dispenser
Detach an old soap dispenser pump and affix together with the jar by making a hole on the metal lid. You can also glue the whole contraption together. - LED tealight vessels
For a mood-enhancing touch, you can’t go wrong with alluring shadows produced by tealights in jars.
