I bought a small glass jar with a sealed lid (like a pasta jar only tiny) to start with. That didn't work for long, doesn't hold enough. Being a painter I thought why not use an empty (never used) paint can? I use the same type can for all my cooking utensils on the kitchen counter. So far it's worked great. You can also paint chalkboard paint on it in a nice square and write messages. Lots of people use this method for plants, we use it for treats!
