biscuit tin

Metal treat keeper

A biscuit tin is a metal container for storing biscuits or cookies, keeping them fresh and protected.

In British usage especially, these tins—often decoratively printed—are common household items and popular as gifts.

The term sometimes refers to any decorative tin repurposed for storage: She kept her sewing supplies in an old biscuit tin.
