How often do you stumble upon the thought that you need small little jars and containers to store all your after-meal mouth fresheners (mukhwas), sauces and spices? Basically all little things that pack a punch. We often pride ourselves over our platters that house an assortment of mukhwas, especially after a heavy meal, and dessert. Also our little containers that have earthy, mellow feels but are home to flavour-packed pickles. Now here at LBB, we make scouting through a planet of containers and boxes, much easier and interesting. Read more to buy.
