Find boxes like this at craft stores & thrift shops (around $3) You can use an unfinished wood box like this: http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displayProductPage?productNum=cp0180 OR, you can find a box at a thrift/charity shop and re-do it.

Box can be made of wood, metal or heavy paperboard, but no glass or ceramic please due to breakage!

I'm excited to see so many have joined this swap. It will be interesting and fun to see what people create. I encourage everyone to post photos of the boxes they make and receive, especially since not everyone will post a pic.

I came across some little wooden boxes in my craft supplies last night and was debating on what to do with them. This is great! What a wonderful coincidence!
