There are hundreds of handmade gift box ideas on Pinterest. Trust me. I’ve looked at them all, I think.
Today’s handmade gift box is specifically for giving to a hostess for your next halloween party, card party, Christmas event, whatever event. Take something to the person.
I have a list of things below that will fit in these boxes. All the items make great gifts and if you are going to someones event, you could package a little goody in this box perfectly.
I gave the one with pumpkins on it to my friend Wendy. She hosted a workshop in her awesome barn this past weekend and I wanted to bring her a little treat. The Festive Farmhouse twine fits great in one of these boxes and is the perfect gift for a crafty friend.
Here are some other things that will fit in this box nicely:
- + Lotion
- + Perfume
- + Markers
- + Hand Sanitizers (think teacher gift)
- + Package of almonds or peanuts
- + Candy of any sort really
- + Fancy soaps
The list could go on and on, but hopefully that small list will get you started.
If you are a visual learner like myself, a video is always helpful. So I’ve done just that. Hope you enjoy. Make sure to read below the video for a list of supplies and the tips and instructions for this box.

Such a cute box and was very easy to make! I’m not a fan of this DSP, so I used a retired one. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing! I really like this box. I can make a few to keep on my crafting area or desk. Again, TFS!
