Dollar Tree's $1.25 Ramekin Set Is A Gamechanger In More Than Just The Kitchen

Ramekins are synonymous with crème brûlée, that luxurious French dessert with its velvety egg custard and perfectly caramelized, crisp sugar topping we all know and love. You might not be able to use Dollar Tree's Solid Color Plastic Ramekins ($1.25) for baking dessert, but there's a host of other ways you can use them both in the kitchen and elsewhere in the home. Available in red or white and sold in packs of three, they're perfect for corralling those small items that often get misplaced or left lying around due to the lack of a designated storage space.

Whether it's paperclips and pushpins in the office, earrings and loose change in the bedroom, or cotton face pads and hair ties in the bathroom, these ramekins from Dollar Tree are storage items that are a no-brainer. They're also a great option for organizing craft supplies and DIY bits and bobs. In the kitchen, you can use them to increase your coffee station storage. Think sugar cubes, sweeteners, and little treats like single-serve cookies or chocolate squares. The pantry could also use a few of them to sort out things like spices, seasoning packets, or loose tea bags. While kids will love them for stashing miniature figurines, game pieces, or chalk.

You really can't go wrong when it comes to using Dollar Tree's ramekins as mess-minimizers around your home. For a little over a dollar, you get three containers that can maximize storage in small spaces. Their compact design makes them ideal for tiny apartments or dorm rooms. Measuring just 3.46 inches across and 2.5 inches high, they're small enough to fit easily into drawers and even medicine cabinets. At the same time, they're also large enough to comfortably house those small items that normally lie around and get in the way — small change, screws, jewelry, hair ties, loose teabags, you name it. The smart Keurig cup upcycle is perfect for your cluttered home office, but if you don't drink coffee, Dollar Tree's ramekins are the answer. They truly are the home organization container you didn't know you needed. Until now.

There's no need to stop inside the house either. You could use them in your small outdoor storage shed to keep track of loose seeds, in the garage to keep random nails and screws in one place, and on your DIY or craft bench to store beads or mini glue sticks. Since they're made of plastic, they're easy enough to clean and also less likely to break than glass or porcelain, making them a safe choice for homes with kids or curious pets. If you plan on using the ramekins in a drawer, you can always add some Dollar Tree Crafters Square Adhesive Dots to prevent them from sliding around.
