One TikToker has shared a genius hack that shows how you can repurpose your old Oui yogurt pots and turn them into your go-to containers for everything from spices to candy.
Creator @strawberry.road shares recipes, organizing ideas, and cleaning tips. In Oct., they took to the social media platform to share how they save money and stay organized with miniature storage jars made from just a yogurt pot and a wooden lid.
After eating the yogurt, simply peel off the label, wash the jar, and fill with whatever you fancy. @strawberry.road fills their jars with various spices and their favorite candy, but you can also use them to store buttons, hair slides, coins, and more—the possibilities are endless!
To top off the jar, the TikToker users bamboo lids from Amazon to secure the goods inside. The lids are available in a pack of six or 12 and are the perfect fit for the pots (even listed as “Oui Yogurt Jar Lids”). They feature a silicone sealing ring to keep everything fresh and airtight.
Impressed viewers have been sharing their thoughts on the clever hack and how they have been repurposing their own Oui jars.
“I have chia seeds in one right now” wrote one person.
“Used these as table decor with sand and succulents for my wedding” another explained.
A third commented: “I use mine for my makeup brushes, lipsticks, pencils! I have so many though, I need lids! Bless the FYP for bringing you to me!”
If you’re not a fan of the bamboo lids, one commenter pointed out that you can sometimes get a coupon for free lids when you purchase the yogurts. Alternatively Yoplait sells lids in packs of four on its website.

Yes, I’m essentially a professional shopper, but I’m still constantly amazed by the inventions that brands (and independent makers) come up with to simplify housekeeping, save space, and look good doing it. Yamazaki has been at the forefront of so many of these innovations for years, but the brand just continues to raise the bar. As part of its Tower collection, these Magnetic Spray Bottles practically disappear into even the most minimalist home decor schemes while allowing you to save counter, shelf, and cabinet space at the same time.

This $12 spray bottle, available in matte black or white, holds your decanted cleaning solutions — be they for laundry stain removal or countertop disinfecting — and adheres (damage-free!) to any magnetic surface, from your dishwasher and refrigerator to your washer and dryer. Keeping these spray bottles at the ready, wherever you frequently use liquid cleaning formulations, means staying on top of regular tidying sessions, quickly addressing stain emergencies, and dedicating fewer weekends to deep-cleaning marathons.
Of course, the Magnetic Spray Bottles can be used for so much more than just cleaning. Try keeping your cooking oils in them, perhaps with some cool, custom labeling, and attach them to your fridge or oven border for easy access and quick, even application when you’re getting ready to sauté or bake. When you go to mix up your perfect salad dressing each week, why not keep it in a Yamazaki spray bottle attached to the inside of your fridge, saving shelf space and mason jars for other things? You can get as creative with the Magnetic Spray Bottles as you want.
As someone partial to decanting everything into attractive, uniform containers, I’m this close to buying 10 of these spray bottles myself, scattering them across my home, and having my cleaning solutions, air fresheners, and kitchen ingredients handy at all times.
