Wooden Gift and Presentation Boxes

Unfinished, raw boxes
Wood, latch, and hinges only

A Gourmet Chainmail item is like a gourmet meal - it has many courses. How it's presented is a whisper of what's to come. The solid wood heirloom storage box is an appetizer that can't be ignored. The faint jingling sound revealed by gentle shaking...we all know shaking is the first thing we do to unknown gifts, right?!

It will make you pause. To contemplate how quickly to make the next move. Is that curious logo burned, branded, etched, screenrprinted, inlaid, painted, or what? Everything about it is simple elegance, nothing more.

The main course begins as the latch is released...the gleam and color contrast when it's opened...the tactile sensation of first contact. Men and women alike will earn immeasurable domestic currency points for giving such a thoughtful and unique symbol of affection!

Inside the box is a generous layer of anti-tarnish fabric. Some also feature a conspicuous, small rolled scroll with thick parchment - a pedigree that details its backstory. It is reminiscent of medieval times, homage to chainmail's functional past.

The final treat is the coveted 10% off coupon! It is good on a future purchase of any single Gourmet Chainmail original product (with minor restrictions). You only get one and it comes with your first purchase so use it wisely.

This goes beyond gift-ready. Its beauty can speak for itself but if a wooden box isn't enough then it can be wrapped proper; everyone likes the thrill of unwrapping a "real" present. Perhaps a perfunctory bow just because.

CUSTOMIZE: There will be numerous options soon. They include: adding images or symbols; painting, burning, engraving, staining; fabric colors; embroidery; inlays with wood or metal; metal veneer.

ECO-CONSCIOUS: Some people say it is irresponsible to use wooden boxes as it places an undue burden on resources, that all packaging should be recycled and whatnot. See my blog entry here for my analysis. The bottom line is that no one in their right mind would throw this away, unlike every other cardboard, paper, fabric, compostable, or similar type of packaging. It is definitely part of the product and will endure for a long time.
