Every lady who is going to surprise her chosen one with an interesting gift should know about his taste preferences. Some people like beer with fish, some like expensive cognac, and there are also men who will carry a chocolate bar in their arms and smile from ear to ear. Based on this, we have made a selection of gift boxes for the stronger half of humanity:
- If your man loves sweets and has something healthy to snack on between work, then you can put fruit, honey and homemade cookies in the box:
- On cool evenings, mulled wine helps you warm up and relax at the same time. If your man belongs to this category of people, then you can give him this wonderful set of wine, lemon and spices for this hot drink as a gift:
- A man who pays a lot of attention to his appearance due to the fact that he has such a job, or maybe he’s just a “narcissist” by nature, would benefit from a box with a set of high-quality skincare cosmetics:
- For lovers of beer and various snacks, you can also present your favorite delicacies in a box in an original way. Just to make the gift look solid and make an impression, place in the box a beer that your chosen one has not yet tried, but has always dreamed of:
- If you want your gift to be practical, you can put gloves, a scarf, a set of stationery, a notepad and some perfume in the box. This is a gentleman's set for a modern man who lives according to time and schedule:
For housewarming
In this case, a house is the most suitable idea for decorating a surprise box. You need to cut out semicircular windows from white paper and attach them to the outside of each wall on top of the scrap paper. It is better to make the lid of the box not square, but in the shape of a pyramid to imitate the roof of a house. You can decorate it with “tiles” made of texture paste to look like ceramics. The decor beautifully plays with the theme of antique keys and locks.

- Have you knitted a warm sweater or a hat and scarf set for your loved one? Place it all at the bottom of the box, top it with tinsel, sweets, order a wooden inscription with a declaration of love, or just limit yourself to a romantic card:
- You can divide the contents of the box into 2 parts. On one side, place an alcoholic drink, chocolate, socks, and on the other, romantic notes with the reasons why you love your chosen one. By the way, these could even be just compliments and pleasant words, or maybe even wishes that you are ready to personally fulfill:

Photo album box
The inner walls of the surprise box can be decorated with photographs, turning the product into a mini-format photo album. It is better to hide the edges of the photographs under cardboard frames cut out using a figured hole punch.
If you want to stick more photos, then each wall can be made double or even triple. For a double wall, you need to cut out another cardboard blank with sides 2 mm smaller than the previous one, punch through the fold lines, decorate the sides and glue them inside, carefully covering the bottom with glue.

Decor ideas
In decorating a DIY surprise box, as in any scrap product, multi-layering is encouraged: combining several types of paper, playing with several types of finishes, decorating with three-dimensional elements. Large satin bows attached to the lid always look quite impressive. All finishing elements must be in harmony with the main stated theme - vintage, shabby chic, retro, marine or other. Auxiliary decorative elements can enhance the overall mood and complete the composition.
