Jewellery

Hi

Just bought 2 great items from John Lewis (for a present), and was shocked when they arrived in a bag, no box.

Anyone got any ideas where I could buy 2 small bracelt style boxes by tomorrow?

  • If you google how to make boxes there's loads of ideas - you could always make them out of a cereal box and cover them in wrapping paper, or use old cards or the suchlike. If you don't want to do that then card shops normally have small boxes in.

    £2.50 each Marks & Spenser but as you can see 3 for 2
  • Claires accessories also have them.

    In fact a lot of high st. stores like Bhs or Bon Marche usually have gift boxes to purchase on their own jewellery stands.
  • Brilliant, thank you for all the suggestions and help

    And if you run out of ideas try Clinton Cards who also sell boxes which are a bit more expensive (less money saving!) but flashy looking!
