What if a gift box didn’t look like a box at all? My Character Boxes are designed to surprise and delight appearing as charming figures rather than simple containers. They are the ultimate gift-giving vessels, adding an extra layer of magic before the recipient even sees what’s inside.

As you stroll through these characters, imagine the perfect person to gift them to... if you can bear to part with them!

Note: While some photos show items tucked inside for scale, please note that all display items are not included with your purchase.

This is one of my personal favorites. Available in both regular and mini sizes, the Coho Tea Chest is designed specifically to "frame" the paper I use. I love searching for papers with intricate scenes—like the Mediterranean Box—and carefully cutting them so the landscape takes center stage. 

The Bride & Groom Treatment:  One of the most popular ways to style these chests is as a sophisticated Bride and Groom set. Using a timeless black and white theme, I can create a coordinated pair that looks stunning on a wedding gift table or a couple's mantel. It’s more than a gift box; it’s a tiny, functional piece of art that can be tailored for life's most beautiful occasions. 

Much like the Coho Tea Chest, these boxes are designed to celebrate beautiful patterns but with a sophisticated twist. I’ve incorporated real decorative drawer knobs  adding a touch of weight and luxury to every piece. I love the challenge of scouting hardware stores to find the perfect knob to complement my papers, like the seamless pairing in the Greek Tiles Box.

Available in two sizes. These pieces make a stunning, functional statement on a bathroom vanity or a kitchen counter.

There’s a certain magic in the objects we grew up with. This collection is a tribute to those classic designs from the steady hum of a sewing machine to the click of a vintage typewriter. 

I love incorporating interactive details that make these paper "vessels" feel alive, like my retro television sets with knobs that actually turn and telephones with dials. It’s about more than just a box; it’s about capturing a moment in time. 

While their shape is simple, these "Faux-berge" eggs are designed for year-round elegance. Inspired by the legendary collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, I’ve combined decorative hardware with intricate papercraft to create a vessel that is as functional as it is beautiful.

These aren't just for springtime. They make stunning, permanent additions to a vanity, bookshelf, or bedside table. Use them to hold jewelry, small keepsakes, or a truly special gift that deserves a one-of-a-kind home. 

The Rosie Box is one of my most versatile designs, cherished for its elegant lines and adaptable shape. Whether you need a delicate home for a pair of earrings or a larger vessel for a scarf and toiletry set, the Rosie Box scales beautifully to fit your needs.

A Wedding Favorite: These boxes recently stole the show as wedding favors! I’ve added a photo of the petite versions we created for a local ceremony. Filled with sweets, they were a huge hit with the guests. Like so many of my pieces, they are designed to live on long after the party is over, looking just as beautiful on a kitchen counter as they do on a bathroom vanity. 

Gnomes are more than just endearing characters they’re the ultimate holiday chameleons! My collection features clever transformations, like our Pink Valentine Gnomes, which started as full-sized Christmas ornaments before being perfectly "shrunk" to fit these darling round boxes. From the Red & White Gift Box, perfect for smaller treats or as a companion to the large Christmas Gnome, to our festive friends for St. Patrick’s Day and Birthdays, these guys love to travel. Keep a sharp eye out as you browse the Christmas, Valentine, and Spring sections as you never know where a friendly gnome might pop up next!

The very first three-dimensional piece I ever created was a hat. At the time, I had no idea what I was doing, but I fell in love with the process and the result! I’ve been crafting them for every occasion ever since. 

A Secret Design Detail: These aren't just gift boxes—they’re decor! Most versions are designed to be hung, allowing you to display them in a beautiful gallery group on your wall long after the gift has been opened. 

Whether you’re celebrating a Kentucky Derby party, a vintage tea, or a birthday, these hats add a touch of whimsy to your celebration and to your home.
