Free: 3 nice tins/caddies (Stoke Gifford BS34) Pretty red embossed M&S spiced tea caddy, colourful Union Jack tin, and Leonidas chocolate tin with retro shop scenes. All empty - spiced tea caddy is still quite strongly scented inside, so probably best just for spiced tea, but it’s spiced or mulled tea season, so a perfect time to Freegle. The other two tins handy for keeping bits and bobs in eg if you have sewing stuff or jewellery findings etc. Happy to split if you just want one or two, but if they can all go together that would be great! Could be useful for Christmas gifting?
