Do you have a Christmas tree shop in Chicago? I saw a few spice jars there.. they were nice!
Also, go to any kitchenware store and you will find a variety! I usually keep my jam bottle ones in a cabinet but the ones out on the counter are the cute ones.. oh they also have revolving spice jars for kitchen cabinets.. go look for them
ps: Pakistan has more variety though.. Ask your in laws to send you some

Walmart has some nice glass jars.
They are airtight so a bit hard to open therefore I don't like them
for every day spice storage.

Do not use plastic ever for spices.....small glass spice jars are best and look pretty and keep spices for a very long time

I agree...if you have an IKEA store nearby then have a look at their collection. If you are in the UK/US check out ASDA/Walmart - they had some which had a chalkboard label area - so you can change the contents without the gooey label gunk you usually get
Also, Woolworths do good glass jars....if you are in the UK

Yes..you are right...Uncles on Ladypool Road do sell this type of thing...also, if looking for these jars in the B'ham area...then Gohil Emporium on Stratford road also sell this as do a couple of places on Soho Road (one opposite the library) and one near the traffic lights near Ambala....
Also...£1 shops also now do a great range - most of the stuff is imported from China/India anyway!...
