perhaps slicing a tube lengthways (like centre of clingfilm or similar) and standing them on their sides. that way there'd be no movement but you could still see the colours : )
I wrap mine in cling film

Thread them onto a knitting needle!
I have a special box that hold about 20 bobbins. I have a husqvarna so it has little bobbins. Inside the box is an apperture which is exactly the same size as the bobbins so they don't roll around. I also have some little pink collars which you canslide onto the bobbins which keep the thread in place and stop them unravelling.

I purchased these from world of sewing in Tunbridge wells. They have a web site and you can order over the phone and tehy will post.

I do like neat storage.
if all else fails you could always put a piece of cellotape over the cotton end. at lease the thread ends wont get tangled.
They sell boxes in John Lewis which have lots of spikes for holding bobbins, that is what I use .
