"After much experimentation, I have determined my own system for determining band length. I knit until I feel like I'm going to scream. Then I have a cup of coffee and knit until I feel bitter, burning resentment.
Then I measure, have a little cry, and knit until I feel the apathy of the doomed. This usually the right length."

I always check out the men's tool box / tackle box section, at the local hardware stores.
The have a variety of sizes that are just perfect for thread, sewing supplies, fat quarters etc.
Some of the boxes are clear plastic, which I really like!
The price is the best thing, a lot of these start at $9.99.
