If you've ordered it do you like it? I've got my eye on one but I'm not sure it's OK to store my Copics upright. What do you think? I talked to someone at Amuse today and they said it's OK. Oh...and they said it holds about 100 Copics.
Any advice before I order??

I have three of the AMuse buckets and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! I have a brown one, an aqua one, and a pink one. I use two of them for my Copics (so great to carry around the house or to transport them to stamp camp) and the third one holds my most often used stamping tools - clear block, adhesive, scissors, ink, glitter, glue pen, etc. Can't imagine my life without them now.
I wanted one (okay, I need two actually) for my Copics. But shipping was crazy expensive since they are so big. So I had to pass for now. :(
Mine are all in a pink polka dot bag from Michaels right now. All 275+ of mine fit in it and there is room for the other markers that I will get eventually to finish my collecting.
I just love looking at the markers! They look so pretty and happy in the cute little bucket. I agree, get an extra one. You could store your other type markers or decorative scissor, etc. in it. Nice to be portable too.
It took me about 2 years to get all of them...though new colors are coming out this year, sigh, lol. Good thing, because I'm not sure if my husband would know anything else to buy me, lol.
All of the past holidays and birthdays gifts have been markers.
I {heart} the AMUSE marker bin but shipping to Canada in INSANE... over $25.00.
YIKES! I just can't justify that cost... plus whatever taxes and handling through Canada Post.
So jealous!

I have the baby pink one and LOVE it!!!! Unfortunately that color is temporarily out of stock. I think I need another one! You can see all of the colors in this page here.

If any of you live near a Hobby Lobby, they have a tin that looks exactly like the amuse one. It's in patriotic colors (red or blue) in their 4th of July section. I already have marker storage, or else I would have grabbed it up!
Omg I just realized I have containers like these I bought to hold forks, knifes, and napkins for the patio. I bought two at a gift boutique because I loved the bright colors and could not choose between the two wonderful colors they had. If I wasn't so tired I would go try it out. I will do tomorrow. I think this might work.

I love these Amuse buckets but was very surprised when I added it to my recent order and my shipping went up $10.00 :eek: Since I could not justify $31 for the tin (as adorable as they are) I did some research and found out that Target has the same exact tins in their stores. It comes in red, blue, galvanized steel, and a green with pink center. They are only $10. Now I can get more than one!!
Pinky yes I have seen these at Pat Catan's and Target for under 10.00, I am sure many other stores as well would have these for about half that price. I have mine in Making Memories Carousel for now (just started collecting...uh I mean using) but would like to find something that doesn't take up table surface. Any suggestions for something you can hang on the wall?

Wow...Thanks, Pinky for posting this! I went to Target to check it out and *really* wanted a red one. I only found 2 total in the store...both red!! I took them both! One for my copics and the other for napkins/utensils on the patio!
I went to Target today and couldnt find anything close to these bins....... the online store checker says they are in stock.......... WHAT DEPARTMENT PLEASE......... I will go back tomorrow....... I want red and Amuse has no red, thank you in advance :-)
I am so glad everyone is finding and liking these!! It took me a little while for me to find them in my store as well, but i was very determined!! I found it up front with all the seasonal coolers and other plastic plates and etc. Good Luck!
I have the a muse red and white one, I am OCD about stuff and the amuse one is a little, how do you say it "heavy duty" and a little bigger, but the Target ones are a close match, the thing I love most about the a muse one is the distressed look. Yeah! OCD! Hope you all enjoy your buckets as much as I do!
I just spent the last 3 hours looking at every "flatware caddy" that I could find on Google, closest match is Targets flatware caddy in red, white and blue....... so i return to Target tomorrow and hope i can find them without during "a three hour tour" of the store.
I had 3 in my shopping cart at AMuse but the shipping made me cringe, but this may be the way I have to go when they get RED back in stock
I have 10 targets within 20 miles of me.......... I visited 3 this morning and was able to pick up 8 of the red bins, they are in the seasonal department, which at each of my targets was sorted by color........ for the price they are a perfect substitute at $10 each....... For $87 i was able to get 8 red bins, They are 1.5 inches in circumference smaller, height and depth were the same, and they dont have the black paint distressed look but the bins cost me approximately $100 less.
I checked the availability online before going to each store, they all had at least 8 in stock regardless of what the online inventory said, I didnt go to the one store that said sold out......... The sage green one, has a pink interior (very cute), the Red and Blue are both white inside....... The 3 targets i visited were short on the pink.
My hubby thanks you for this thrifty substitute....... and so do I, I love the red and they are just perfect for copics and small tools......
I got a green one at Target this past week! I LOVE it! It's very sturdy/heavy, which is not necessarily what I needed, but definitely an added bonus! It was in the seasonal summer things near the picnic tablecloths. Some Targets (mine!) are JUST starting to put out their summer things so you may have to be patient. I used a section of cardboard to make dividers for the larger side and secured them with red line tape. I put them lower that the height of the other dividers so you wouldn't see the ugly cardboard, just the pretty markers. I know, it's a little crazy, but it would bother me!
