Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get Altoids in SA? (Preferably in JHB) I’m looking for a pack of Altoid mints in the original sized tins

Are you planning to make something like this?

Lol No, for a second I thought that fish was real and my heart sank. I need a few Altoids tins for a ‘nostalgia project’ I’m making up for my mom. Her dad was obsessed with them and I have a bunch of small keep sales I plan on putting inside - like a memory box. Cheesy I know :p

Will see if / how many I have at home. If you don't mind waiting a bit, I'm going to be in the US end Feb ish.

Preferably before March. But I can wait for them, she won’t mind a belated gift. Um I think just a couple would do :)

EDIT: NMD - I see you want the mints and not the tin for a project.

EDIT 2: The Curiously Strong Mints from Marks & Spencer in the UK are identical to Altoids.
