Been looking on here for one for hubby for Xmas, then fill it with seed pkts, seen some but nothing exciting, any ideas?

Do you want exciting or practical?
I use one of those expanding-type file boxes. It has tabs that can be labelled for types of seeds - salads, beans, tomatoes etc, you get the idea.
It works a treat - it keeps the seed packets in good order and it is easy to store. I am a cheap devil so mine came reduced from Tesco. However it is very pretty. I am sure that a manly type one is out there.
Hope this helps.

I use one of those IKEA wooden chest things with the small drawers and have different kinds of seeds in each one. Eg, brassicas, flowers & herbs, roots etc.

I used this. It has dividers so I've separated my seeds out into salad, summer veg, winter veg, herbs and flowers. But it is really not very manly!

Like the sound of the Ikea one, but nearest Ikea is 6o miles away!
