I use coffee filters between layers of cookies or candies I give away at the holidays. They are a perfect fit for most cookie tins.

In reply to Lynne Hartshorn. Daily shoe liners :-) Used (or new) dryer sheets keep the inside of your shoes clean. They smell nice too. Use them in any shoe from pumps to sandals to tennis shoes, any shoe you can hide them in. Your shoes will last much longer with no smell. HTH

This is inspired information. So many very useable suggestions! I also throw one of these in the sink while peeling shrimp. Catches all the shells in one place for easy disposal and the stinky drips rinse down the drain.

Need to sort through a storage jar of tiny items? Dump them into a coffee filter. Sort then fold the filter to return the items to the jar. Works great for small to medium hardware like nails, nuts and screws, fishing items, craft items like beads, sequins, glitter and embossing powder, and even jewelry that’s gotten tangled. Best part is you can save the filter to use the next time.

I use coffee filters in the bottom of flower pots to prevent soil from washing out the drain hole and to allow excess water to flow through.

We have a handheld Shark vacuum that the filter had developed holes in. To make matters worse, that filter assembly was no longer available, so I carefully cut the remaining filter material out of the filter frame, wrapped a coffee filter around it, pushed it back into the filter housing, and it was good as new. Quick and easy to replace as needed also.
