Book excerpt: This is a selection of hand-painted boxes for occasions as diverse as St Valentine's Day, a birthday or an anniversary. Each box is painted in four colours, on card, die-stamped with scored fold lines and pinched edges which are ready to press-out. Gift tags are printed next to each box to complement them in design, shape and colour. This book also includes suggestions for gift ideas, recipes and instructions for making lavender bags and edible gifts.
