Description
This butterfly trinket box in white glass carries a soft watercolour floral print and a few kind words across its lid: 'You are so VERY Special', with 'Special' written large in flowing black script. Pink, coral, blue and purple blooms gather over the wings, with a tiny bee among the petals on one side. The base stays plain and smooth white, so the print and the wording take centre stage. It is a small piece, 8.5cm wide, 6.5cm deep and 4.5cm high, so it sits neatly on a narrow dressing table or bedside shelf without crowding it.
With its gentle colours and its message, this makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift. It is just as welcome for a friend who deserves to hear how much they mean to you. The butterfly base suits the little things that tend to go astray: a couple of rings, stud earrings, a fine chain, hair grips or a small keepsake you want to keep close. We like it on a dressing table beside a mirror, on a bedside table for the rings you take off at night, or on a desk for paper clips and spare buttons.
The printed lid lifts off and sits back on the base, following the curve of the wings. Inside, the box is plain white and open, with room to drop in small pieces. A soft dry cloth for dusting and a lightly damp cloth for the odd mark are all it needs. Dry it straight after and keep rough scourers away from the print. As with any glass piece, set it where it will not be knocked from an edge. For gifting, it needs little more than tissue paper. You could tuck a pair of earrings or a folded note inside before you hand it over, so the first thing they read is the message on the lid.
