    Figure A

    Materials:

    Romantic container (hat box)
    Tissue paper
    Items of your choice to fill box

    This box can be one that you plan with your loved one or one that you make to surprise them with.

    Just start by taking your container (hat box works great) and lining it with tissue paper before filling with items (figure A).

    Some ideas for your box:

    • Sachets of lavender
    • Romantic CD or cassette
    • Candles and matches
    • Bubble bath
    • Couple of wine glasses for your favorite wine or beverage
    • Gift ( jewelry, engraved locket, compact etc.)
    • Book of poetry or journal or diaries you could share
    • Special photographs of your wedding, vacation, etc. to look at
    • Some of your love letters to each other
    Cover the opening of your container with tissue paper, place the lid on and tape closed.

    Note: A romantic box would make a great wedding gift.
