Treasure Boxes


In a previous post I talked about the gift "treasure" boxes I've been making for my coworkers, which include artfully presented notes from everyone who wanted to share an appreciative or inspirational thought with the recipient. I just had everyone email me their note and I added color images, printed them out on parchment paper, and cut them to fit inside the box. These are images of the last two boxes I've made. This is what I'd like to offer as a gift service to others...making a unique box for each recipient based on their favorite colors, textures, etc. and coordinating the messages from a group of people like a family, coworkers, friends, etc. I was thinking how awesome it would be to do them for teen girls and have all the women in their lives write them messages of wisdom about womanhood. Or a family in grief could be given a box of inspiration and hope to turn to for support in dark moments. There are so many reasons these boxes could work as amazing gifts to connect people to the supportive communities that surround them. I'm just not sure how to market them.
