Jewellery gift boxes

Bean83

Hi,
I've bought some nice jewellery sets as Xmas gifts, but the boxes they came in were a bit naff. Does anyone know of any good websites where I can buy 5 or 6 boxes for a reasonable price? Had a look on eBay but thought the designs were a bit boring!
Thanks in advance.

our local 'Card Store' has some simple little box sets for £1. plain shiny, but a nice bow would sort that.

not cheap if you need a few but argos have lovely gift boxes for jewellery - £2 a box this is what I will be doing for my sisters bracelet which I got from avon!

Sew some gift bags? You can then customise them to be as sparkly or interesting as you like.

If only I could sew!! My sewing is terrible, otherwise this would be a really nice idea. I will look into the Argos ones, as I don't need that many boxes so £2 each doesn't seem too bad. Thanks eveyone for your help!

Sewing is really easy! But another idea would be to cut a circle of felt (it won't fray), punch/cut small holes/slots around the edge and thread some pretty ribbon/wool through the holes. Draw the ribbon/wool tight and voila - a dinky little gift bag without sewing. You can also glue on sequins or some such with E6000 or similar glue. If you have pinking shears, you could also do a zigzag edge around the top of the "bag".

Thanks for the ideas everyone, I really like the idea of the felt bags, I'm sure even I can manage that without making them look too bad! Maybe by next Christmas I'll have learnt to sew :rotfl:
