Description
This set of two white storage boxes takes its look from classic luggage, with a much-loved nursery rhyme running across each one. Both boxes are made from MDF and are rectangular, with soft off-white sides edged in a pale blue trim and rows of round silver-tone studs along the edges. Each lid asks "What are little boys made of?" beside a gentle sketch of a small boy, and the front answers with the familiar lines "Slugs and snails, and puppy dog tails" and "That's what little boys are made of", next to a soft drawing of a sitting puppy. One box is larger than the other, so the pair stacks neatly into a tidy little tower.
We think the pair sits beautifully on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a bedroom dresser, where the soft white and pale blue blend easily with painted furniture and gentle colour schemes. The larger box suits cards, letters and photographs, while the smaller one keeps little trinkets together, so the set works as handy everyday storage as well as a home for keepsakes worth holding on to. With its cheerful rhyme and sweet drawings, it makes a charming gift and a lovely way to keep precious memories in one place.
Each box closes at the front with a silver-tone swing clasp, and the larger box has a handle on its side, so it is easy to lift down from a shelf. The studs and trim give every edge a smart, finished look, just like an old-fashioned travel case. To keep the boxes looking their best, dust them with a soft dry cloth and wipe away marks with a barely damp cloth, keeping them away from water and damp. For a thoughtful finishing touch, tuck a handwritten note inside the smaller box before you wrap the set.
