Those Lidl tea boxes...

[Funk]

My local shop didn't have any when there was a thread on here about them being back in stock. My watch collection is now getting to the stage where I need something to keep them neat and organised and I'm trying to find one of the aforementioned tea boxes.

Did anyone pick up more than one when they got theirs, and would they be willing to part with one..?

PM me

[Funk]

Done, and to a worthy charity too. Thanks NeMiSiS. Will PM you my address..

[Justayellowbadge]

Good on you Nemesis. I've matched the donation, to reflect your decency.

[Funk]

Danesgate has offered me his too, also for a HfH donation. I've matched the payment I made for NeMiSiS' tea box.

Always good to have an excuse to fill up a spare box.. My collection will pretty much fill the first one as it is..

Edit: 2nd donation made. Thanks to both chaps for their kind offers and for giving the money to charity. Nice touch.

My 2 year old daughter got a little box with dress up mice and assorted clothes in for Christmas.



It's the perfect size.

The mice will be evicted in a week or two.

One turned up today, I think it's the one from NeMeSiS. Thanks ever so much chap, looks fab. Will pop a pic up later on.

Photos please. Do we all need one of these?

I'm wondering whether to put proper jewellers' pillows in. Not sure they'll fit.

[Danesgate]

That gap in the bottom right must pain you.

Really need to do something about that.

And with two boxes any gaps will look like you are missing something.




I also hate this forum

Do these come into shops very often? Thanks to this forum I seem to have acquired a few watches recently and need somewhere to store them!

Yes, my OCD is in overdrive with that gap... I will probably rectify it shortly!

Yes, they fit fine. I bought them from eBay & anything around 80mm square will be ok. I found a UK seller to avoid any delays or Customs hassle but the one I bought from isn't showing any for sale at the moment.

I managed to get one of these, and was wondering whether you chaps have lined them with anything, or has anyone used proper pillows, (although i quite like the utilitarian look of pipe lagging ) if so which ones? I'm thinking probably sticky back felt or something to line it?

Inspired by what I have seen in this thread, I just bought a watch box from Amazon, delivered for under £30:





They have a decent selection of cases.

For what it is worth, here is mine, including a new addition following Christmas.

Theyll be back in Lidl, theyre a regular promotional item. I have used mine for stopwatches (Heuer & Breitling), but I always keep watches in their original boxes in a safe.

This just fits in my big safe, should old stopwatches soar in value...

Good work Gav, some very kind PHers on there.

Incidentally I also went to the Worthing store at the time the thread was going and obviously cam away empty handed as well.

To that end, if anyone else is accepting donations....
