Where can you buy silica gel for home/storage use?
It's used for drying flowers, so you can buy it in bulk at a craft shop
(or online).
If you know someone in the shoe department at a department store,
they could easily save a tubful for you. Most cheap shoes include
a small packet and you'll find them littered all over the floor
in the shoe department.
I have my doubts, though. Unless you're truly sealing the entire
package from air, eventually the thermal cycling and humidity
changes will exhaust the moisture capacity of a small packet.
