I’ve used them to package wedding gifts.

Pass on the chocolatey joy - make your own chocolates (truffles are easy and fun to make), put them in the box and give as a gift to somebody else (even better if you can encourage them to do the same!)

I’ve used the clear, hard-plastic, heart-shaped ones for dry flower buds. Just use something to take the labels off and the goo that holds them, drill two small holes in the back to accomodate hanging, and snip the buds off of dried roses. Then, using hot glue (straight on to the rosebud; it will melt the plastic container) place buds close together, use a small amount of super glue around the edge of the lid to keep secure, hang, and enjoy! The great thing is, your dried flowers won’t get dusty.

How about using the tops for next year’s homemade valentines? Maybe they’ll even retain their chocolate scent. :)

use them for storing little items…it’s always nice opening up a pretty box of buttons, pins, jewellery you don’t wear anymore but want to keep, seashells, etc.

use them for decopauge….cut pictures out of magazines and glue them on and cover with decopauge seal

The plastic trays that hold the individual chocolates can be used as ice trays. If you use fruit juice instead of plain water, they make mini-ice lolly type treats for children (or adults).

The trays that come in chocolate boxes are usualy perfect for vodka jellys or individual jellys for partys etc.
The pretty boxes are always good for storage or gift giving.
The dried flowers can be used as
poperi (sp) or sewn into little bags to use in wardrobe or drawer to scent it.
The cards can have the pictures cut out for cute tags for gifts or craft uses and dont forget the backs are usually blank so use it for a shopping list or notes.
I sometimes reuse wrapping paper as drawer liners or to cover books etc.

It’s nice to store stationary in it. Then your cards and letters will smell of chocolate. Sweet!
