30 Great Gift Boxes!
I LOVE a thoughtful gift box or basket. Bonnie + Bud is a great speciality gift box company in Charlotte. You can find so many great gift boxes on Etsy that make the perfect gift. I like this Farm Animal Themed Box, Taco Night Theme or Game Night Box that you can fill with fun games and snacks. I think Cozy Gifts or a Tea Box are great as a get well gift. Visiting family for Thanksgiving? Send a box of Seven Sisters Scones or Callie’s Hot Biscuits in advance. The Elf could drop this Santa Belt Kid’s Bucket one night. The movie night box, game box with games or snack box are great tween or teen gifts.
Beauty Advent Calendars!

I surprised my girls and did the Sephora Beauty Advent Calendar and the Revolve Beauty Advent calendars last year and it was a hit! The DIOR Advent Calendar is a whooping $750 and just fabulous. The Kiehl’s box or Molton Brown Box would be a great gift for your Mother-In-Law. Drop a hint to your hubbie and ask for the Charlotte Tilbury advent calendar or Liberty Advent calendars. These make the best birthday gifts for her or a Christmas gift on December 1st!
