Yes, I have a couple of floral motif Temp-tations cookie jars.  One is always stocked with dog biscuits on top of the fridge.

Like @ScrapHappy  I also collect cookie jars.   I don't have quite as many. I think I have about 20 of them.    I keep mine on display in a china hutch in my diningroom.   

I have one that was made in the 1930's and others were made in the later years.  I think quite a few of them came from the 50's and 60's.   

I just love my cookie jars.   A few came from my grandmother and others from my mother.    I have never put cookies in them.   I realize they are just dust collectors but each one has a special meaning to me.    I don't think I could ever get rid of them.

I'm not really a big collector of things, but unique cookie jars are my weakness.  I'm sure your collection of Disney cookie jars are beautiful.

I use mine for storing plastic bags, and as a change jar.

My mom never had one, and we never have.  I have a crystal biscuit jar that I keep Nespresso pods in and sometimes I might use it for packaged biscotti.  It is a perfect fit!

Guess I'll keep using my Tupperware bowl.

I have Charlie from Pioneer Woman, but we keep doggie treats in it.

Do you use one? Pioneer Woman, Anchor Hocking., figural?  I donated mine years ago but have been thinking about getting a small one.

@traveler   I have several cookie jars and do use them..  Many time not for cookies though.  I put wrapped candies in them when not using for cookies.  I have 2 by Lenox, the Santa and the Snowman for winter, also have 2 pumpkin cookie jars that I use in the fall...  I think they're pretty to look at and the kids always want to see what's in them..

I have one cookie jar. I got it in 1968 from Nestle's Toll House Cookies. I saved up 10 cellophane bags and sent them in with a coupon from Woman's Day magazine. It is the old original toll house with a sign on the front of the house saying Nestle Toll House. It was free! I don't usually use it as we're not much for cookies and I rarely bake anymore. However, I love the looks of that old thing and the memories it holds. My granddaughter wants it when I die. I offered to give it to her now but she likes seeing it displayed on my old baker's rack. If I knew how to post a picture, I would.

I do not have any.  My mom had two, one she kept tea bags in and the other one was a large coffee jar with a metal lid.  I think she always could hear us opening that.  I remember the metal lid had a star on it.  Not sure what brand.  It kept the cookies fresh.  I’ll have to try to google that.  Don’t know what happened to them.

I have the original cookie jar that was given to my Grandmother when she was pregnant with my Mother. It is now 80 years old. It sits on a top shelf and never used for anything.

i have a retro cookie jar with a seal on top and I use it for teabags.
