Here is the fun creative note I received and photo:

She is having a flamingo pool party & I thought these little pineapple things are too cute to have in the party favor bags! Will probably fill them with yellow skittles!!!!

How inspirational are those cute little pineapples? and I love all the details, like the tiny Thank You tag added on to it! Is it a sticker? Also love the little "x" details on them too! The one sitting in the very front looks like it's so happy!

The pink and yellow make such a cool color themed flamingo pool party, as seen with the skittles. One would need the pink skittles around the pineapple party favors to make them stand up as they are shown for table confetti.

All one color in amounts of 10 or 20, red for Valentine's, pink for Easter and pinch proof green for St Patrick's day, available here

Let us know if you need a different color option. Right now, we have 9 different color options: blue, white, black, yellow, red, pink, green, purple and orange.

Saying Goodbye: More of my favorite hoard that has become one of our popular items. I've been collecting different colors since college and used to use them for storing my jewelry by color, all earrings in blue capsules, rings in red, etc.

However, since I am now allergic to most metal jewelry I started to let them go and others have found many different creative ways to use them too!

If you need larger amounts in mixed color of 50 or 100, they are available here. If you need a large "all one color" amount of over 30, please email us and see if we have it available, right now we do, but these sell out fast, so it's best to check with us first. Right now, we have 9 different color options: blue, white, black, yellow, red, pink, green, purple and orange.

What I Learned:

1. I am so grateful that some of my hoard have become our top selling items! And many of them are my favorite things, like these gumball capsules.

2. These could be turned into all kinds of fruits, besides pineapples, another Etsy buyer turned them into little apples for her Back to School bento lunches. Another painted them into Pokemon balls and one used blue capsules for her son's Batman themed birthday party.

3. Since I've been collecting all different colors and shades since college, I have my own stash and have been using them to hold much of my childhood jewelry that I can't let go or actually no one would want, like my champion hop scotch throwing bracelet!

One day I'll remember to take a photo of them in my gumball machine.

4. I use these all the time at all 4 of our Etsy shops, mostly to ship out jewelry because these seem to be indestructible while in the care of USPS! And most people find it fun to open while it bring back nostalgic memories and makes new ones!

St Patrick's day colors of "Kiss me I'm Irish" green and orange or Mardi Gras colors of purple green and orange or purple green and yellow, available here
