I keep two in my wallet. The ones that are used-up I put in a plastic sewing box to remind myself of what I've played. The ones that are waiting for their turn sit on my guitar table in plain sight.

My niece gave me this little tin full of picks for Christmas several years ago. I didn't particularly like the picks in it, but that was easily rectified. I like it mainly because she gave it to me.

This is my Jar-o-picks that contains all the picks I bought or got that I didn't like before I decided that collecting picks was not my thing. Thanks to the grand kids for the jar.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A SOURCE FOR THESE KINDS OF BOXES?

We want to use this as a promo in the fall, probably as a free giveaway on larger orders or special models.

Thanks Again!
Scott

Thanks, I did. But I need to buy these in quantity, 50-100, and at a low price. It's out there, just can't find it.

Cool thread. Here are mine: one is a small box from the Boy Scout store, the other is a tin that held chocolates.

Scott, if you are looking for small but inexpensive "presentation boxes" for your picks then maybe these might be practical:

I have a few of these -see pics

Rudy and fazool, beautiful woodwork!!

Thanks, rampix! Great suggestion. I’ll give it a try.
Best,

Not a pick box, but when I was staying in a hotel recently, the gift shop had greeting cards on display in wooden playing card holders. I thought that they might make interesting guitar pick holders, so I ordered a pair from amazon. A flaw of the holders is actually a feature—the channels are not the same width, which means picks of different thicknesses can fit in different channels.

I recently got the wooden boxes for my desk.
The large plastic one is for mass storage.

Wow, what a great photo of awesome picks. Sweet. Thanks for sharing.
