    Okay – I don’t think my screen showed your caption the first time. I’m guessing a baby teeth holder.

    Bummer, I am not the first to guess it, but I used to get those boxes for my lost/pulled teeth. My children get their teeth in little yellow envelopes. How boring!

    Mexican Jumping Beans? My kids had those years ago and they were in a similar little cube.
    Happy WW!

    Erm, I already saw two guesses for teeth, and that was my guess, too. I had some teeth pulled for an orthodontic procedure and they were presented to me in little boxes like that. The tooth fairy then took the boxes when collecting my teeth. Greedy fairy.

    Oh, I guess my guess is wax used to protect your gums from braces. Fun shot. Happy WW

    Man, I was thinking it was a tooth as well. I currently have one of those with a baby tooth in it, which was pulled a few months ago.

    I think it is a tiny sewing kit to keep in your car…and I, too, leaned up and in to try and see inside!
    Great picture.

    It’s a miniture sowing kit … you know as mom’s you never know when we will need to pull out some thread, needle, button, patch and mend some clothing … is that for all moms or just moms of boys?

    I let my 4 year old do the guessing.
    She said “I sink it’s maybe, um, beach clothes or, um, some decorations. Or maybe it’s just nothing.”

    I think it’s tiny pieces of gold, frankincense and myrrh??? 🙂

    baby teeth…
    I used to keep mine in a box like that.

    The box is small and what is in there looks soft and relaxing, and since you have kids, I think that storing in there is the small amount of “free time” you get in your day.

    Earplugs?
    My story and I’m sticking with it.

    Im assuming the answer is teeth, because of everyone elses deductions. But just in case I will guess it is a pill box.

    well i think it is a fancy hole punch or stamp but it could be mexican jumping beans:>

    A stylus for your turntable? 😀

    Oh, y’all, I have LOVED hearing your guesses! I’ve been “offline” today (oopsie!) but YES, the correct answer has been guessed, and YES, if you wanna venture some more creative ideas, I’ll still consider those just for fun….
    I’ll spill the beans tomorrow ;).

    Dang it Robin! What the heck are you doing with my five year honor pin for teaching at a community college? Actually how did you get it? I really do have better things to steal.

    It reminds me of the little boxes that you used to be able to get “Mexican jumping beans” in. Oh – I just read you comment above that the correct answer has been guessed – jeez, I’m always late.

    Well, my guess was the ear wax plugs, but I see that several times now. So my second guess would be where you keep your bad thoughts. Obviously, from the size of the box, you don’t have many! 🙂

    An AquaPik attachment. I used to play with my parents’ all the time. So many fun squirty attachments to spray water all over the bathroom counter. Bwahahaha!

    Just because my first guess was teeth and I am sure it is the correct one I will give a go at a creative one though it is not as creative as the bad thoughts or free time… I’ll say it is lined with cotton to protect the umbilical cord stumps.

    I had a little box like that with a polished rock in it.

    All these guesses were FABULOSO! I wrote a post mentioning a few, but ear plugs was a good guess and Mexican jumping beans were a favorite treat when I was a kid!
    Thanks to all of you for venturing a guess, and I’m trying to visit your WWs :).
