You want to get them into some kind of airtight container. Glass jars are the ideal storage container. Air, heat, and light are the enemies of fresh spices, so an airtight container in a cool, dark place like a cabinet is ideal.
You can also add to the life of your spices by storing them in the refrigerator; the only problem with this is, out of sight, out of mind.
The worst place to keep your spices is above the stove because the heat from the oven will destroy the essential oils in the spices.
