I can’t fault the service of the pill box supplier as I only ordered new stock yesterday. It arrived today, so I now have plenty of them ready to make up with the design that speaks for itself. The boxes have a three part compartment inside as well as a mirror! A great way of

The round metal medicine FU&* YOU pill box has had a rather low key launch by my standards 😆 I only brought a few to try out, but I only have one left so I’ve ordered in a new batch as the response to them has been positive. As I hoped, they can be sent
