We used to sell pill boxes but sales were slow, in fact for a whole year we didn't sell even one piece. This is not surprising considering that even though during the past 20 years, the popularity of the pill box has increased but with that so has the competition and the amount of products that have saturated the market unsettling the balance of supply and demand. With too much supply and not enough demand there is less sales.
Pill box that we used to sell
These round mini pillboxes are the perfect size to hold a small pair of earrings, and they make for a wonderful gift. They are approximately 3.3cm x 2.5cm. We offered these in different colour options and each one is decorated by hand from India with sequins, glitter, and beads. If you are up for the challenge you can make a DIY pill box to store anything you want. The disadvantages of a pill box is that they are small and cannot store bigger items, of course you could make a bigger version but then it wouldn't be called a pill box.
Where did the pill box originate?
Pill boxes were originally invented by David P. Wagner for the use of medication dispensing means in 1964. The reason he made the device is so that he and his wife could use it as a prompt to remember whether they had taken their daily pill or not. Even though he invented the device, it did not look as it does today. Through years of innovation there are more stylish and modern pill boxes that are more attractive which ensures that you do not forget to take your medicine. The best thing about pillboxes are how versatile they are, lets explore their uses.
