A great gift idea for Birthdays and all kinds of occassions. A “prize box” gift contains all sorts of things and everyone can contribute something to it. It is a great little extra to add to the celebration, especially when celebrating with family or close friends.

Choose a theme for the gift box. The theme could involve the occassion (like an anniversary) or it could be related to a passion or hobby that the person recieving the gift has. If everyone in the group shares something in common, that is another way to look at how to theme the prize box.

If you are organizing a prize box gift, here are some helpful tips: Contact everyone and suggest a theme for the box. Explain to everyone that all the gifts are going to go into a box together (no floor lamps or hockey sticks please!). It’s always good to specify a price range that is appropriate for each item (for example; $10-20). It is better not to wrap the box - use a large colorful box with a lid that slides over the top. You can cover over the gifts inside with tissue paper and secure the box with ribbon.

Putting together a great prize box gift for someone is a great way to flex your organizing muscles and creativity. Don’t be afraid to take these suggestions and run with them to create some really unique ideas!
