I don't care much for herbal candy but I cannot resist a good tin box. So I buy them, empty the contents in friends' handbags or pockets, and keep the containers.
I wish I could post a photo of my collection. I keep all sorts of crap in these containers. They are so beautiful my friends love them, and I've been known to gift them as birthday presents. What's inside them is appreciated, but the little metal box even more so.
I only gift these boxes to people who will get as excited about them as me. And with time, they have become a favourite souvenir from China.

Afterthought: I realise the content of my post is quite unrelated to its content. But that's what herbal candy is for me: a gorgeous tin-box opportunity ;)
I'm into gorgeous tins and have to convince myself occasionally that I don't need one ;)

I totally share your love for delightful little tins. And I laughed out loud at your comment about herbal candy being a tin opportunity. Perfectly correct!
