Winter Essentials
I like drinking tea mostly in the winter, and I wanted to keep all my tea in containers that can take some space on the wall with minimal setup. The same goes for my vitamins and packets of coffee and chocolate I had laying around. I wanted something that could keep them neatly presented and organized.
So, I made some wall attachments to store them. Since I didn't want to drill the wall for something that is not very heavy, currently none of the three items have holes for screws. I recommend using double-sided tape, or you can use Magnets that can be attached to metal surfaces.

Tea Dispensers
The idea came from my mother, who suggested adapting my LEGO minifigure cardboard box designs to make a 3D printed model with a similar design as a base to start.
I also searched for existing models on the internet for further inspiration, like this Stackable Tea Bag Dispenser.
I designed the model to be detachable for easy wall mounting, and customizable to allow for rearranging the containers and printing in multi-color combinations. I wanted to have a lid to open and insert the tea packages (like the LEGO minifigures container) and make it tall enough to fit about 30-35 packages stuck together.
The tea container dimensions can be enlarged or shortened as needed.
Vitamin Clips
For the vitamin clips, I searched for some clips and came across this concept. My design is based on that: 4 clips adapted to the circumference of my vitamin containers.
The holder can be adjusted for smaller or bigger containers by adjusting the radius. For smaller containers, I recommend making an adapter that holds the smaller container and has an external radius same as the inner radius of the current clip to just slip inside the small container. You can use them in any form in your medicine cabinets, for example.
Packet Box
The box that I am currently using in the picture to store hot chocolate, sugar, and coffee packets was actually a test print to see the width that I needed for the tea containers, which I preserved and repurposed.
However, I designed a new container box that you can use with dividers to store packets efficiently. It is a 142x100 mm box, so if you would like, you can adjust the size to make it bigger or smaller, up to you.
