It is also a lovely way to store small special treasures such as jewelry or other memorabilia. The box itself is also a special gift. Embellish with glitter, metallic watercolor, beads, jewels and ribbon. Fill with matching tissue and finish with a matching miniature Medallion topper. The box may be six, five or four-sided and all with one carefully designed image from Holly Berry House Originals.
