As someone who works in science this is a perfect gift to give co-workers. I got a giggle out of the term “vials” for what are test tubes. Great idea!

I’ve just Stumbled across this I love the idea of creating little spice collections as gifts! You can get the vials, corks n all from Ebay if in the UK, you can also pick up various sized racks which would make a funky little display unit too.

If you hang around the local science-supply place, my husband tells me, you see all sorts of skanky characters coming in to buy truckloads of test tubes. He mentioned it to his brother (my outlaw in-law, I call him for reasons which will become apparent) who said sure, that’s because with a low-temp torch and minimal glassworking ability, you can turn them into (ahem) water pipes. Which are (or were, until recently) not classified as “paraphenalia” as long as you insisted they were only to be used for cooling tobacco smoke. And you could sell for twenty bucks, which enabled you to buy, shall we say, non-tobacco products.

So, y’know, that might be why it bothered the Nerdberg guys. I suspect on the one hand that bothers the local place, but on the other hand enables them to stay afloat in the face of online competition.

When we revamp the kitchen, I’m kind of torn between doing this and a magnetic rack for the little Lee Valley canisters. If the Lee Valley stuff came in brass it’d be an easy decision.
