I’d keep my stationary in it, so it smells chocolaty.

Decorative Jewelry Box:

Decorate your pretty heart shaped boxes, attach a handle to the top, keeping the chocolate dividers inside to separate each pair of earrings, rings, etc. Put them in your drawer or stack them on your table or dresser. You can save a lot of money with these. When your finished, go to your local bed and bath store to see how much they charge for the same thing!!

I wash it out with soap and water in order to make sure it does not attract rats and store make up i no longer use or use on very rare occasions.

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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

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.

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 them to package wedding gifts.
