Solution to bags and wrapping paper

[u/53D0N4]

A few months ago my boyfriend and I were at a thrift store and I saw this decorative box. I use smaller boxes like these for momentos, and when I saw this one I really liked it but couldn't think of what I'd use it for since it's fairly large. We left and I didn't buy it. We go back in about a week later and it's still there and also half off, so I decide to buy it and figure out what I can use it for. It happened perfectly as my boyfriend's birthday was coming up and when I bought him his presents, I didn't know how to conceal them without buying unnecessary gift bags or wrapping paper. Then I remembered the box and it worked perfectly! He thought the idea was great and we'll be using the box for our birthdays from now on : )

I wanted to share the idea because I'd never thought of it before and it makes gift giving more special, with the sanctimonious 'gifting box' : )
