Bath Tumblers + Canisters Use canisters and tumblers on the bathroom counter or vanity and makeup table to hold small items. These containers are great for cotton balls and swabs, makeup sponges, bath salts, body scrubs, makeup brushes, hair ties, manicure accessories, and other supplies. Keep these canisters on a desk in the home office to hold paper clips, pens, and pencils, or in the laundry room to contain detergent, pods, and more.
