a lid having a circular top surrounded by a top rim, an inner lid wall, a lid skirt extending downward from the top rim and extending around at least a portion of the inner lid wall; and
a lid base having an inner annular wall defining an opening, a base skirt extending around at least a portion of the inner annular wall, and a moveable locking member having a bottom portion affixed to the lid base and a top portion with a lip extending above the annular wall for securing the lid to the lid base, and wherein the moveable locking member is seamlessly connected to the base skirt;
wherein the inner lid wall fits within the inner annular wall and the lid skirt is mateable to the base skirt when the lid and lid base are in a closed position and the moveable locking member lip extends above the inner wall and is engaged with and overlaps at least a portion of a front edge of a topmost surface of the circular top of the lid securing and physically holding the lid to the lid base in the closed position; and
