If you have more than a couple of each, get small pill bottles with
snap on caps, write the device number on top and keep them in order.
Make small trays slightly higher than the bottle and you can stack
them in a drawer. You could probably stuff a couple hundred in a
drawer.
Not my idea, I saw a collection of smd parts organized that way
(using smaller vials) and it was pretty impressive.
I use bead organization containers for SMD parts. Locally, Michaels
or Hobby lobby may have them. You get about 20 screw top plastic
vials in a plastic case for not too much (look for sales). These are
about 1 inch in diameter.
I put a 3/4 inch colored dot label to discriminate between 1% and 5%
resistors, for instance.
Some containers are available in a 1 3/4 (or so) diameter. Those can
be used for tape mounted SMD parts.
Be aware that these containers are not necessarily anti-static.
Things that need static protection may be left in the tape which can
be cut or curled to fit the container.
Other containers for beads, especially with locking tops, are good for
screws and nuts.
