I got an inspiration from my mom's old leather patch bag to make her for her 60th birthday this leather covered patch jar and I think it's kind of cute. I'm not sure what is it for really but I guess you could keep there for example your sushi sticks, pencils, make up brushes, knitting needles or what ever. :)
...And by the way, if you're now thinking it was however maybe not enough for "round numbers", I should let you know that I also made her a memory necklace out of a lace band that she made as a ten year old school girl but I just didn't have time to take a picture of that. (Well, and also that came with a family trip to Barcelona.)
