Buy a sack of silica kitty litter nd a few cheap pairs of pantyhose. I put about a cup and a half in the end of the hose, tie it off and cut the pouch from the hose. 1/2 cup of distilled water inside of a styrofoam bowl, place the pouch in the dish and let it soak up the water. Then turn the pouch upside down in the now empty bowl. As longer as the cooler keeps its seal, you shouldn't have to refresh the water for about a month. Put a cheap hygro in the cooler and check it every few days until you have a stable humidity level. Check it once a month. When you get it stable, you won't have to check and refresh the water every 3 months or so. Very cheap and stable humidity. Between the cooler and the other ingredients, you might spend $25. I've been doing this for many years and I haven't found a better commercially available unit that performs as well.

Just don't get scented kitty litter.
