Metal case for dental floss?
August 26, 2013 4:29 PM Subscribe
Looking for a vendor to make me a metal case for a pack of floss as a gag gift. Importantly, it is for a new beau. Thanks in advance!
So...yep. Just met a guy. He's pretty cute, and sweet. He is might read this site. But hopefully not soon. Learned his birthday is coming up.
I know very little about this man, other than the fact that he has a lot of crazy things, beyond what an early gifting sesh might normally cover. I had this one idea for a gag gift - something like a flask or pocket watch, but for floss. I know. He is just one of those weird smarty pants ones. Trust. I JUST WANT A SILVER CASE FOR A FLOSS PACK. It would be silly.
Etsy and Google are turning up nothing. Men and women of MeFi—do you have any idea how to make this happen? Tremendous thanks in advance!

This picture makes me think you could take the insert out of a zippo lighter and put floss in it.

You'd have to measure the dimensions carefully, but maybe something like this old cigarette case?

My dentist often gives out Glide, dental floss that comes in a very small round tin. It would fit in most anything. Send me your address and I'll put at in the mail to you.

I have a POH floss in coolsara's link somewhere but can't find it to measure, but in my mind it is quite tiny, and it just might fit in a sterling thimble case. Alternatively, a flatter boxier floss might go in an antique match safe?
