Give Canisters a Christmas Makeover!

Cinnabar Canisters: Set of 3
regularly $129.96, Host Special just $38.99!
Love decorating for the holidays, but hate investing in pieces designed to sit in storage most of the year?

Here’s an easy solution: Choose pieces that look great at the holidays but can be used year-round. These red Cinnabar Canisters are delightfully Christmasy, but they’ll easily transition to practical containers that bring a bit of color to your kitchen during the year.


Check out our favorite ways to use Canisters this season:

TEACHERS GIFTS? Planning on gifting your famous hot cocoa mix or trying out our chai tea mix recipe? Package your treat in a bright canister, like the Kensington Canister IN MY WEEKLY DEALS FOR ONLY $7.96 and tie it with a bow — the container will be practical long after the snack has been enjoyed. (ITEM: #41506)
 Grow for show: Take the lid of a canister to use it a vase for pretty flowers. Or take this idea a step further and plant a small Christmas tree or rosemary tree in the canister. When planting, be sure to remove plants for watering, since canisters don’t have drainage holes.

Brunch buffet: The holidays is a great time to put a few breakfast items on your table or counter and let guests serve themselves before or after the gifts are opened. Add a scoop and your canister becomes the perfect server for granola or cereal. After breakfast, cleanup is simple — just pop the lid back on!
