Classic Mickey Mouse Round Trinket Box with Hinged Lid - Red

This cheerful trinket box puts Mickey Mouse centre stage, standing tall on a round red base with his arms flung wide in welcome. He wears his famous red shorts with two white buttons, big yellow shoes and white gloves, and his smiling face is painted in soft tones against glossy black. Small clear stones catch the light on his shorts, his shoes and around the base, while gold-coloured Mickey head silhouettes run around the red band between bright gold-coloured rims. The whole piece is handpainted, and it stands 8.5cm high, 7cm wide and 4cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.

On a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, Mickey brings a burst of colour and a smile to any room, and the box beneath him gives small treasures a home of their own: a pair of earrings, a favourite ring, a first tooth or a few saved coins. We think it makes a lovely keepsake for children aged 3 to 12 to keep on a shelf in their bedroom, and it suits teenagers and grown-up fans aged 13 and over just as well. It is a decorative piece to admire and fill with little things, rather than something to play with.

The lid, with Mickey standing on top, lifts on a small hinge to open the round base, and inside both halves are finished in clean white. The glossy handpainted colour and the gold-coloured trim give it a jewellery box sparkle, so it is worth handling with a little care: hold the base and lift the lid by its edge rather than pulling on Mickey's outstretched arms, and dust it with a soft, dry cloth or brush now and then, keeping it away from water. Tuck a ring, a note or a little surprise inside before you wrap it, and the box becomes part of the gift.
