Special Edition Miniature Books Tin from Tank Books
Cigarette packaging has long been a rich vein of design insipration – notably in the opening credits of indie flick Thank You For Smoking and now in this Miniature Books Tin from Tank Books.
Six literary classics including Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde come in miniature form (but complete and unabridged), packaged in flip-top cartons complete with clear cellophane wrapping and silver foil. The carton designs use iconic cigarette branding to re-imagine each book's design.
Individual titles are £7.65 each or you can buy the full set, boxed in a tin, for £42.35.

Vintage-style stacking cake tins
Cath Kidston, Lisa Stickley: we seem to have featured a lot of cake tins recently. But if you like cake, these stacking cake tins have a great advantage – you can store three tiers worth!
Apart from the joy of holding a lot of cake, these tins have got the benefit of some good vintage style. They come in cream covered metal, with either green or red lids. The look is topped off with some matching, not-too-twee, retro typography. For those who are slightly less greedy, they're available as single tins too.
The set of three stacking tins is available for £35.
