I got the entire organizer for $12 on amazon. They're called 'floss bobbins' i think and can be purchased by themselves if you want!

That is so pretty!
Did you have a bobbin winder
What about something like this or something like this that’s easily just snapped closed and put away? That’s how I keep my floss away from dogs who consider everything “theirs” 😂. I also keep my WIP in something like this so I’m able to keep it out of dust and pet hair while still being both portable and easily storable.
You need a class 15 bobbin case. If you are in the US, amazon has one for $4.

or a pair for $7.

I don’t think so.
Bobbins should have holes for the thread.
Like this
Found them on amazon.
Embroidery Floss Organizer Box - 17 Compartments with 100 Hard Plastic Floss Bobbins and 640 Floss Number Stickers. (Full Set) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M15BBX5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CYmSDb5ZBS854
Zebra mild liners, various washi tapes (on the go I like to wrap them around embroidery floss bobbins), pencil board, binder clips, various stickers, small post-its, small/travel pair of scissors, and a glue stick for whatever ephemera I want to paste onto pages.
New for next year, I've added the green Hobonichi stencil, the Zig clean color dots, some stamps (including a couple of the Pilot frixion stamps), Kitta strips, and the Weeks + A6 memo pages (since I'm using a Weeks and A6).
These boxes from Amazon come with 100 plastic bobbins and a set of DMC stickers.
I used to have have half my floss stored in a sewing box sorted by color family until that became to full more to house any more, and the other half was collected in a big black hole of plastic grocery bag. I can’t express enough how good this organization feels!
I'd recommend putting them on some plastic thread bobbins. You can get a bunch on Amazon for like $5 or $6 bucks. You can write the thread number in sharpie on the bobbin if you need to keep track.
The other thing would be to get a thread organizer. I've got two of these and they're pretty great. It comes with the thread bobbins and stickers w/ DMC numbers on them as well.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M15BBX5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Most low-shank feet will work for the 221, so you should be able to use a cheap low-shank walking foot if you want to play around with it.
But universal bobbins will not work for it, you really need featherweight bobbins - they are thinner than most others.
The little metal bit or the round thing. The round thing is a bobbin, specifically one for the Singer Touch and Sew line Normally Jo Ann's won't carry this bobbin type most of them only carry the Singer Class 66 and the Class 15 bobbins because they're more widely used.
If it's the little bitty piece of metal then you probably need to have either the Quilting Forum help identify or email the photo to Sew Classic with the type of machine it's from.
I find that Amazon is my friend for all-things-sewing. Most parts are readily available and show up within a day or two.
A quick search finds a compatible bobbin case for very little money. I'd try that first before trying more expensive solutions.
I am pretty sure it's a third-party product, as an original Brother part is likely a lot more expensive. But fortunately, I find that sewing machine parts are surprisingly standardized. And if it doesn't work, you can always take advantage of Amazon's very good return policy.
I have one of these Bobbin Savers. It fits in my little thread box, holds lots of bobbins, and I can see all the colors quickly and easily.
Protip: buy a bobbin winder! I picked mine up for $2 at my local craft store when I started stitching, and it changed my floss organization game! It's so much easier and more fun to get all of those little skeins looking even and nice.
Here's one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753442ZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DSTRBb2926R90
Also, don't go cheap and use cardboard bobbins. Once you start using plastic bobbins, you won't go back! I buy mine by the 100. If you get them on Ebay, and don't mind waiting for shipping from China (mine usually arrive within 2 weeks, not sure what the shipping time to the UK would look like in comparison), the last 100 pack I bought on eBay was $5.98, and quality and size between brands really doesn't change.

Happy stitching!
I have several bobbinsavers. They work very well, hold about 2 dozen bobbins (I use size L bobbins, if you have bigger ones, they'll hold fewer). Easy to see what thread is on the bobbin.
These machines are all clones, so the other poster is right, it's probably a standard class 15 bobbin case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZY7SBBV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BxYxCbYVA2SM9
$3.28 for Style 15J Sewing Machine Bobbins for Singer - 10 Pack but...I don't own that sewing machine (yet), and my boyfriend's mom gave me bobbins to use with her sewing machine.
The next cheapest one $5.26 for an x-large rubber eraser, which seems kind of expensive, but I love these things, especially when I work with charcoal. I've used up about half of my current one.
The small piece on a string looks like it was cut off the end of a textile bobbin like these.
https://www.amazon.com/Antique-Wooden-Textile-Bobbins-Spindles/dp/B01B5C0KV0
The base of the larger piece also looks like it came from a large bobbin like these- https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/ExgAAOSwtpZYSYjr/s-l225.jpg
Could this be meant to be an old fashioned game like a cup and ball or cup and stick?

You’ll be good to go with either- I’ve done clothes, hundreds of bags, alterations and quilts on mine.
The three things I’d suggest after purchase?
a walking foot
bobbins-a-plenty (although they are machine specific)
and a set of feet- you’ll never need them all, but it’s nice to have one when you need it!
these are the bobbins i use, and i use the darice box for storage as well. the initial time spent to thread the bobbins is well worth it in my opinion! super inexpensive and is safer than using things that might snag and ruin your thread. i ended up fitting something like 110 skeins in my box and keeps me conscious of the colors that i do/don't have
plus it's wonderful to look at when you've arranged all your colors in there
These are great for bobbins.

Bobbins!
Thank you for the contest and Happy Friday :)
Check ebay and amazon. This should have everything you need.
P.S The spool things are called bobbins and you can get them in plastic and cardboard form, I personally use cardboard but it doesn't matter that much.

Happy birthday! Any fun plans to celebrate?
Are giftcards eligible as items? Ohterwise my cheapest items would be bobbins for $1.10
