I use plastic pill bottles, and write the size of the needle on the lid.  Since I get my needles in bulk, its handy :)

I use the little LoRan cases. Just use a bit of tape and a sharpie to label which one holds what. I use JoAnns abundant 40% off coupons to get spares. :> If you like mints some folks stick a sheet magnet in one and use that as a needle holder.
