Help where to buy gift boxes from?

Liverbird1

Hi,

Can anyone suggest somewhere to get gift boxes from? Making peppermint creams as presents and need something to put them in, dimensions need to be roughly 6-10cm square (though it doesn't have to be a square box!). Tried looking online but most places seem to have a mimimum order or high delivery costs!

Help please!

Thanks! :beer:

Why not make your own?

User this pattern for a pillow box:

(you can enlarge it on a photocopier if you need something bigger), then use it as a template to cut out some thin card, score along the folds, then make up. You could even print onto the card first to personalise the gifts!

would these be any good?

1.99 + 2.95 P&P for 10.

CJ - That's a great idea, don't know why I didn't think of making them!

Cymrugirl - I like those! Not sure if they would work here but I might use them for something else!

Thanks both!

Wilkinsons usually have lovely sturdy boxes that you can keep and use for storing things after

I use packets & boxes we have in the house and cover them with christmas wrapping paper and ribbons.

tesco do 'favour boxes' for weddings, plain white, 5cm cubed, about £2.50 for 10 (flatpacked but take seconds to put together). They come with ribbon as well

(oh, and also theyre made of coated/shiny card (not in a tacky way), which I think might be quite useful if they're for sweets as they wont stain etc?)
