Beautiful packaging and lots of little presents fit inside. I know this because my girlfriend gave me four of these boxes as an Advent calendar.

These are really gorgeous Carol, love the idea of self closing too, very pretty.

Carol, your self-closing treat boxes are absolutely delightful! The papers from CraftOClock and Paper Boutique add such a festive touch, and the die-cuts from Stampin Up, John Next Door, and My Favourite Things are beautifully used. I love the idea of using these boxes for Christmas gifts—they're so much more special than just an envelope.
