I'm watching this one as I have a pretty full dashboard but would love to join in :D

This is great - Ive been saving an altoid tin for MONTHS waiting for a swap. ALLERGIES: lavender essential oil, cheap incense (cause headaches) - no pentacles (I use the triskele or tree as a symbol)

What does not a flat tin mean? I've only seen one altoid tin here in the pound shop with sweets inside I think. Just noticed it this afternoon. If it would be suitable I'll go and buy one tomorrow. It's a rectangle, cuboid sort of shape.

Gofeen - they are about 1/2" tall - so not flat - its probably what you have there - the pic above for the swap is the size an shape of the ones here in the states

So is this supposed to be a shrine or a filled tin?

Sorry to sound dense, but what IS an altoid tin?

Morgain, altoid tin

A filled tin @ Cajun Lady---Sorry to confuse...I know the pic above is a shrine. It was just so pretty I couldn't pass it up. =D

Does the lid need to be hinged to the box, or can it be a seperat lid. The boxes we have in Denmark that are like this mostly have seperat lids as far as I know.

Seperate lid is fine. =D

Okay thanks. I wont join until I*ve found a tin however. I did that with another swap once and I had trouble finding the item I needed to alter and very nearly did not make it on time.

Oh, and what is common tin size? ;-) It would not be the same here in Denmark I'm guessing, so a measument would be good, so I can make sure it's not smaller.

3-3/4" Long, 2-3/8" Wide, 3/4" Deep 9.5 cm, 5.9 cm , 1.9 cm

All of these measurements are approximate. Find a palm-sized tin & join us. =D

Great :-) Thanks for translating it to cm, saves me the trouble ;-)

Actually, the ones I've seen in the past have all been hinged in Denmark and the ones that I have found now....They are all with chewing tobacco, darn it! The other only one I've found opens from the top and that kind of defeats the purpose. I am going to England at the end of the month, but if I can't find any there, I have to drop from the swap, unfortunately :S

Hinged is fine @Sylvana ---That's the type I will use. =D But any sort of tin that fits in the hand is great....it doesn't have to be a specific type. As long as it fits in the palm of the hand. It can be plastic, wood, metal. =) Whatever you can find is great.

Woohoo! Someone found a place where they have them galore! With mints! Woohoo! I am so in! ;) However the one I found is 6 cm deep, 4,5 cm across and 1,5 cm tall (when lying down). How is that? Would that be okay?

Ah, lovely, a new member swap! This is a perfect swap for me to start getting active in the group. =)

I'm already getting my items together! I hope who ever is my partner enjoys it!

i can't wait!!! :)))

Yup...sounds good to me. =D

Oh, Oreon I found one which is more square but not as tall/high as the requirements. It's practically impossible to find the correct size outside of the States it seems :S But if my partner doesn't mind, I will use that tin and add some extra goodies if need be. :D
