Lol, we also use them for spice bags. Only our boxes are from IKEA
We have two giant ones (fit under a queen-size bed) from IKEA for crafts and for the tools not used regularly.
We have IKEA here, too, there is a (one) store in Chile and they deliver for a reasonable price, so we have plenty of IKEA things which first might appear a bit unexpected given our location.
I found some nice craft things that are impossible to get in Chile (UV-active paint that's for paintings and not some make-up, and as well a jar of night-glow paint) or notoriously not available (polymer clay - available somewhat, but ordered, seller than cancelled) just today in a shopping mall while traveling abroad. Was quite a "random" craft & art store in a bigger city in South Africa, but well stocked.
