How easy do you think these boxes would be to cover? or make all christmassy? Or does anyone know where else I could get boxes from in a similar size and with a lid?

I would think you could cover with thick wrapping paper and use prittstick or doubleback sellotape for the edges

I think they'd be ok to cover so long as you use enough glue/tape to stick all the edges properly (this is where I'd fall down ). They're a good price aren't they, great idea to cover them!

Used these when we moved a couple of years ago and have to say they aren't that strong. Would definitely recommend adding an extra cut out cardboard base to the bottom as they have a tendency to fall out rather easily. By the time you've done this and bought wrapping paper and glue it might not be the moneysaving idea it originally look but if you love your crafting I'm sure it could make a successful project.
