18th Gift Box

[Greedyfly]

It is my sisters 18th in a couple of weeks and I would like to make up a box of things that she likes etc.. But cant seem to find a website that sells nice/modern/stylish boxes - Clintons is rubbish, I usually use paperchase but the shop near me is tiny and they stock what I need this time around also their website isnt very good.

Any suggestions?

Also any suggestions on what put in it form the 18 point of view - like the key etc... Thanks

How about buying a plain gift box and adding ribbon or personalise it by putting your sister's name and age or you could cover it with nice paper or material. Hat boxes are good or maybe you could use a basket.

How about an 18th birthday album and you could put some special pics in it? I got one from here:

don't know where you are but " Internationale" has a homewear section calles "au naturale" and they do lots of boxes. If not just cover the box and the lid seperately in pretty paper.
Gift ideas do a girls' night in theme... lots of beauty things ...face packs,emery boards, cotton wool balls, cheesey rom com film, microwave popcorn, take away pizza voucher....not forgetting fizzy wine. My daughter did it for her sister andshe loved it.

You can buy 'archive boxes' at places like Staples, paint it a background colour then cover it with glitter, novelty confetti, letters spelling out her name, pictures of things people she likes. Once finishes coat with PVA glue (it goes on white but sets clear) It makes a really fun personalised box. I've done it a few times and everyone loves it.
I'm noyt 18 but I'd love a box filled with nice bubbles, nail varnish, lippy, books etc.
