I had my eye on these containers in Target for months but the $10 price tag left it on the shelf, so a few weeks ago when I was buying out Target as it was full of bargains and I was getting mass amounts of Olay face products, sheets and clothes, I found these containers marked down to $6. I chose the pink, obviously, as it was much better than the plain old clear ones.

They take me back to the 80s. We had containers like these, mainly plastic, that we stored cotton wool and buds in or used for jewellery or beauty products. It’s funny how what goes around, comes around, like ra-ra and bubble skirts and plastic jelly sandals and shoes, and now, like so much other stuff, these containers have made their way back around.

What have you guys come across in your shopping adventures that takes you back to the days of your childhood?
