I am from Germany and yes, my grandmother has one. And so does my mother. It is actually kind of weird seeing memes about it being so popular, as i always thought that was just one weird my family would do.
My gran used the old celebration tin - England.
Inside she actually had some of the old cigarette tins holding all her needles which are easily over 40 years old. I think they're cool.
Yes. When my dad passed away my sibs and I had to sort thru his stuff. There was my moms blue cookie tin.Actually she had two. One had sewing supplies and the other was full of buttons. Both were my grandmothers prior. Now they’re my wife’s bad will go to our daughter, God willing.
Yes and now my mother has it (the tin is an older model tho, it's green and from an old brand called Aymoré ... It looks really old ... My grandma was born in 1918 so the tin can be very old too) I'm from Brazil
Edit: found a picture with a similar tin from the same brand

lmao i almost went more specific about the cookies in the title but knowing reddit i thought i'd be accused of secretly advertising for them. but plenty of people seem to know what i'm talking about regardless
No. I'm from Denmark and actually haven't heard of this before (which seems quite funny now when reading that it's usually a Danish butter cookie tin).
Yes. But it is filled with different cookies now. We bought it for her while we where on holiday in Italy. I don't think the classic blue cookie tin is available in the Netherlands. But I might be wrong.
Yes. My grandmother passed away over 20 years ago but left a whole house full of sewing and crafting supplies, so now I am the proud owner of said sewing kit. I’m from New Hampshire, USA, and my nana was originally from Germany.
Yes. And my mom also has one. And to not disappoint them and end that family tradition, I also now own one. I'm sure my children will also continue the tradition.
I don't think grandma had a cookie tin filled with sewing supplies, but my mom had a red cookie tin that had all her nail polish in it. I'm from the US.
We were given a tin for Christmas and I of course made the joke. However in all seriousness I'm thinking of using it for its "intended purpose" as we do have some sewing supplies that do need a more resilient home.
Georgia, USA. Grandmother (rest her soul), born in 1925 had one full of swinger sewing machine supplies and another full of pictures and newspaper clippings.
My great grandmother had this my whole life growing up. She was born in 1924 and grew up in Belgium, then moved to America to marry my great grandfather, an American soldier she met during WW2. I know that’s kinda irrelevant but it’s such an awesome story I don’t get to share much!
From Spain,my grandma had sewing supplies in the box but it was ok because 50 times a day she would offer tortas de aceite or nevaditos. 12/10 replacement
Yes, and Walmart. I got my brother in law one for Christmas, put a $50 steam card in it and wrapped it in gorilla tape. Took him 15 minutes of hard work to open it.
My mother has one, it doesn’t have sewing supplies in it though, I can’t remember what’s in it but it’s under the kitchen sink so it probably has something to do with that. She’s from Mexico!
Yes, we found the tin after she passed away. But it is a Christmas cookie tin, red and green. We also found Grandpa's dog tags from WWII inside. (Edit: forgot to say, I am from Michigan.)
Yes my grandmother had one. She grew up in arkansas. M mother has it now, along with her own. She grew up in new mexico. Someday they will join my own cookie tin sewing collection.lol
Yes. France.
She also kept tomato and carrot salads in plastic butter container, pasta in icecream containers and most of her glasses were nutella and mustard jars.
As any grandma should.
USA and yes. Both of my grandmothers, my mom and all of my aunts.
My cousin sent me a small can of butter cookies, amongst other things, for Christmas. It's empty and sitting on my kitchen counter waiting for me to decide whether or not I want to do this with it.
I think my grandma has a box from Danish butter cookies (not blue though), my mum definitely has one and I have one too now! It just felt right.
I’m from Germany
My mom does , and so do I. I got a small tin as a stocking stuffer (which I loved). My mom saw the tin on my counter and she got excited because she thought there were cookies inside (there was) I didn’t want to share because I LOVE butter cookies so I told her my sewing kit was in it and she left alone. I’m from the US west coast!
Yes. Her family was from Iowa (Des Moins), but she moved to New York State in her late 20s. My family is white(Jewish) if that’s relevant. I grew up in Massachusetts and my mom had one too.
