Description
This butterfly trinket box is made of white glass, with a lift-off lid printed in soft wild flowers and a few warm words for a good friend. Across the lid, "Friends Like YOU, are PRECIOUS and few." runs in a flowing script and neat capitals, framed by watercolour-style blooms in coral, pink, lilac, blue and green, with a little bee settled among the stems on one wing. The base and the lid follow the butterfly's outline, so the shape shows from every side, and the plain white body lets the print on top take the eye. It measures 4.5cm high, 8.5cm wide and 6.5cm deep: small enough for a slim shelf, with room inside for little things you want to keep close.
We think it makes a heartfelt gift for a friend who has been there through everything, the kind of present that says what a card sometimes cannot. It suits Mother's Day too, for a mum who is also a best friend, and the printed words do the talking either way. On a dressing table it keeps rings, earrings and a favourite pendant together in one place; on a bedside table it is a handy spot for the jewellery you take off last thing at night. At only 4.5cm high, it tucks in beside a mirror, a lamp or a framed photo.
The base and lid are both glass, with the floral design printed on the lid and a smooth, plain white inside. The lid lifts off and rests back in place, so there is no hinge or clasp to fuss with. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe with a damp cloth when needed, then dry well. Pop a pair of earrings or a handwritten note inside before you wrap it.
