Need wedding-y gift box / hat box cheap!

My best friend is getting married in Antigua in January (so need present by xmas to get it to her on time)
They are very well off (unlike me!) and are very good about not asking for expensive presents etc so they are not having a wedding list.
I had the idea of making her up a pamper hamper (with a few bits for the groom of course!) I was going to put in a mini bottle of cava, 2 champagne flutes, a pink satin eyemask for the flight, some lovely Boots Sanctury sachets, vera wang perfume sample and a few other bits.
The plan was to put it all in a lovely gift box with tissue paper and wedding confetti. I'm struggling to find a decent sized box that doesn't cost the earth. I would love to get a cream / ivory damask pattern type box.
Any ideas?!

Have you had a look in M&S? I'm not sure about boxes but they've got some lovely weddings bags with all of the tissue paper etc, and they've very reasonably priced.0

One of our local charity shops has new hatbox style boxes for sale as regular stock.
Much cheaper than M&S (who I think DO do them too) and pretty. I think it's the British Heart Foundation but if it isn't PM me and I'll check out which it is for sure as it's definitely a "chain" charity shop so should be available in all their branches.I Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole
