With the number of smokers I know dropping like flies (the habit, not the person), I am left with a collection of ashtrays floating around the house. I've put a few to good use but I've had to do some research for any innovative techniques that I might have missed. These suggestions are also good for any clay pots that your child might arrive home with from art class.
- Keep one on your dresser to hold stray buttons, straight pins, and other small items that could get lost in the carpet.
- Small glass ashtrays are innocuous enough to go under candles to catch any drippings and protect wooden surfaces.
- A large ashtray, like one of those heavy glass or marble ones would be perfect as a catch-all for keys and cellphones by the front door.
- After a thorough sanitizing, fill a glass ashtray with soy sauce and wasabi for sushi night. Use the indentations as chopstick rests.
- Let your imagination run wild and create some ashtray art.
