Each year, a night or two before the family's Japanese New Years day celebration, we have a gift exchange after we work on food preparation. This past year, Jenny (our Master Game Creator) came up with the idea that we should each decorate an Altoids tin. It was a free-form experience with no other directions.
All I can say is, this is one very creative family! Some decorated the outside lid and the interior, and others only decorated the interiors. The name of the person who made each one will appear as you run your cursor over the images below. Or, click on the first image to enlarge it, then there will be navigation arrows that allow you to go through and see each of the images. The gallery of the different Altoids tins is below.

Empty tins the size of Altoids tins are sold on Amazon. I just bought 24
So glad you took all the pictures and captured the fun ideas everyone came up with.
Thanks Miye…
I’m glad I got them for posterity.
I can’t wait to do this with my family! I didn’t realize you could fit so much stuff into an Altoids container! Didn’t see yours Marty??
The one I did is in the lower right corner at the bottom. It’s a photo of the person who thought up this idea.
Marty, they look great. Thanks for gathering them all together again.
Thanks for thinking up the idea Jenny.
I love this project – but would never be able to use enough Altoids to save the tins! They are so strong. What a clever family! – ps
What a cool idea. I want to do that with my family!
It was lots of fun.
Clever.
