I am just about to pass out on to my keyboard from searching for jewellery gift boxes. I quite like the wooden range cooksons sell but they are too expensive for my jewellery. Does anyone know of any good quality and not over priced boxes, as this is really beginning to become a problem. The main problem I'm coming across is that not many boxes come with a nice velvet effect insert, which is a MUST! Other than that I like the wooden or card ones, particularly the magnetic ones... someone help me pleeeease![-o<

Why not buy a bit of velvet (dirt cheap on ebay) and customise your inserts? It's just wrapped round the foam base. Works for any box you like.

I use tins rather than boxes, and make the inserts from bits of old fleece material.

I use card pillows printed with my logo. They're recyclable and look really nice. I know boxes are posher but when you do craft fairs they get damaged and are bulky to carry. I've tried bags and boxes but I've settled on pillows - much more comfortable!!

I have a site that I bookmarked AGES ago after finding it bagnboxman (http://www.bagnboxman.co.uk) They do all sorts, but the reason I booked marked it was that they do custom stuff under 'Presentation Boxes' and 'Custom' stuff (incase I was ever ready for my own etc) They also have jewellery boxes.

I have not checked out the prices against anyone else though so I don't know how they compare...

Whenever i go to the BMF show i always visit a stand there. It was run by a husband and wife team and Liz (LizArt Designs) made the delicate swarovski crystal jewellery that i wear all the time. Liz was lovely, so friendly always giving you a warm welcome and we would chat for ages. Sadly she passed away earlier this year, and her dear husband, bless him, carried on with the show because he wanted to try to carry it on for her, and for the most part can reproduce some of her designs. She inspired me to give jewellery making a go. Anyway, her jewellery always comes in magnetic boxes and i would dearly love some of them, any ideas anyone?

We are just evaluating a range of magnetic display boxes, although realistically they won't be available until the new year. Are there any particular designs you had in mind?

oooooooooooooooo basically the ones that she used have a flap for a lid that then has the magnetised "clasp" on the side of the box (which i guess makes sense lol, and the flapped lid was in a complimentary colour to the rest of the box. i have just got one here to look at.

Its made on a standard cardboard box bottom half like any other. Then the "flap" is a setion of a different colour card that goes right underneath and up one side, attached in both places and the flaps over the top with a shaped lip that has the magnets in that attaches to the other side. If i can get a photo up on here i will show you but its not my forte lol

I did originally use the magnetic boxes which were very yummy but I could never source them cheaply enough for my needs :(

I used to get my boxes from PJ Beads and they were fine but I now use The Tiny Box Company too. (I've not done enough posts to do a link.:))
Only problem is that they're often out of stock in the range I prefer - although I guess that means they're popular. They are also recycled which is something that might appeal to some customers.

I use those boxes, have a gazillion of them in purple and silver. They're really quite nice and the inserts have little easel stands on the back so you can stand the piece up in the box, which is great for displaying stuff, when I did a lot of craft fairs, I woudl make use of this quite a lot.
