Description
This floral butterfly trinket box is a small glass keepsake with a gentle message on its lid. The lid is cut to the outline of a butterfly, and the box beneath follows the same curved wings. The lid is printed with soft watercolour flowers in pink, coral and blue, with a tiny bee tucked among the blooms. At its centre, in black lettering, it reads "Aunties Like YOU, are PRECIOUS and few." The body is plain white with a glossy finish, which lets the flowers and the words do the talking. It measures 8.5cm across, 6.5cm deep and 4.5cm high, a neat size that sits happily in the palm of your hand.
Because its words are written for an auntie, this is a lovely way to tell her how much she means. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for an aunt who has been a second mum, or for a close friend who has become an honorary auntie to your children. On a dressing table it keeps rings, earrings and a fine chain together. On a bedside table it holds the small things that tend to wander, from hair clips to a spare key. It looks just as pretty on a bathroom shelf or a windowsill when it is simply there to be seen.
The lid lifts straight off and sits snugly on the shaped rim, so there is no hinge or clasp to fiddle with. The inside is plain white and smooth, easy to see into when you are hunting for an earring. Glass asks for a little care, so set it somewhere it will not be knocked. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it gently. For a gift with something extra, tuck a pair of earrings or a folded note inside before you wrap it.
