For every guy who has trouble coming up with a special gift for a spouse, girlfriend, significant other, daughter or anyone else who is female (which is pretty much every male) here are two words that will forever take care of that problem: "Trinket Boxes.
" Or if you prefer, "Keepsake Boxes.
" Trinket boxes basically are little jewelry boxes that are kept on a dresser.
Most have lids on them.
Maybe the woman in your life has some special mementos that she would like easy access to.
Maybe she has a jewelry collection but usually wears just a couple of items.
With a trinket box she doesn't have to keep going through her larger jewelry box to find them.
Here's why trinket/keepsake boxes are the only words you need to remember at gift time: 1.
Women/girls love them.
You can easily find ones that are absolutely beautiful or ornately unique.
2.
They come in all shapes, sizes, styles and materials.
The selection is huge.
This gives you the opportunity to tailor a keepsake box to the person you are giving it too.
If she likes art deco, give her an art deco one.
If she likes pewter, give her one made out of pewter.
If she likes camels, give her one shaped like a camel.
You get the idea.
The point is that she will appreciate that you took the time to find something that reflects a part of who she is.
3.
They can be given anytime.
It doesn't matter.
Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, Mothers' Day or on a Thursday.
Trinket boxes are like giving a treasure box to her (you can even fill them with other things like jewelry or Doritos).
In fact, many of them are so beautiful or unique that they don't need to serve any purpose other than just being admired.
4.
You can give them more than once.
Obviously you can't keep giving the same one over and over.
Things are not that easy.
But keepsake boxes are collectibles.
If you have a teenage daughter start giving her keepsake boxes to collect.
When she is older she can look at her growing collection and think of you.
After all, at some point she will outgrow teddy bears.
Even a grown woman will love a collection.
5.
They come in every price range.
The old adage that you get what you pay for does not always hold true with keepsake boxes.
Sure you can spend hundreds or thousands on one if you want, but there are many absolutely beautiful ones for less than $100.
00.
Don't go too low as the quality may not be there.
Keepsake boxes are forever so don't go so low that you get one that is made out of cardboard (yes they do come in cardboard).
This is pretty basic stuff - women like beautiful and unique things.
Trinket boxes fit the bill but won't set you back a couple of paychecks to buy one.
Give it a try.
