“We’ve officially entered the season of parties and gifts! I love some gorgeous gift-wrapping, but let’s be honest, we don’t always have time for it. Decorative boxes are a perfect way to showcase a fun gift. Not only will it hold your gift, but it can also be used as a storage box once the gift has been removed. These boxes can be as simple or as decorative as you like. They’ll definitely give the gift recipient “all the feels.” Trust me, you’ll be the envy of all gift givers this season! Instead of giving into grabbing a bunch of gift bags this season, grab some nesting boxes and a few gorgeous knobs and try this gifting alternative below.”
