Anyone found pink tea and coffee canisters without a matching sugar one?

I want tidy sized pink canisters for tea bags and ground coffee but I have only seen them in a set of 3 which includes sugar. We don't use sugar in drinks so the sugar canister would be redundant. I will not be buying off Temu either.

Does anyone use all 3 canisters or is one or maybe two just for show?

I don't drink coffee, so the coffee pot in my set presently holds kitchen utensils like wooden spoons. Just turned it round so the word coffee doesn't show.

Because you want 2 out of 3 of them.

This place really baffles me sometimes.

Same 😂. I can’t believe this is an issue worthy of a thread.
Either buy 3 and only use 2 of them, or don’t, and don’t have any. Up to you OP!

Can we see the panda head caddies?

I put the labels on myself and use a chalk pen for the contents. A trip to a shop that specialises in loose leaf tea is overdue hence the reliance on tea bags.

We are panda-ing to @TroysMammy 's whims 🐼

This thread has made me laugh - don’t know why.

I understand wanting something particular Op but I would just buy 3 if necessary and donate 1 somewhere.

Bit disappointed with the panda head cannisters - I was expecting actual panda heads for the lid ☹️

eta not actual actual panda heads. But kids shaped like panda heads

Get them instead!!!

DH often uses things like redundant tins in the garage or shed, could it not be used out there if you get a set of 3

Disappointing update:- TK Maxx had 5 pink canisters in stock last night so I purchased 2. I had an email this morning to say my order had been cancelled. On asking why I was told:-

"Thanks for reaching out.
I’m sorry to learn that your item was cancelled.
I’ve looked into this and can see that this was because the item was no longer in stock when our warehouse team came to pack the parcel."

I've responded firstly to say I contacted you I didn't "reach out" (I hate that insipid response) and that I'm updating the very large UK parenting forum with the disappointing news that TK Maxx has cancelled my order.

To be honest I hate TK Maxx, it's just a slightly more upmarket jumble sale or as my Nana called them bazaars. I've even gone off their coloured pasta.

Your guests who take sugar will be happy you have all 3.

Indeed! Use for guests or for something else! During.. rocket science lol 😆

Oh, no, perhaps some others see the thread and thought they are nice and bought them. I'm sure that must happen
