Box It Up

Jaclyn Minori can box up your memories and frame them all pretty. Their fabric frames and shadow boxes ($20-$42, right) are handmade and a great and original gift. And there is a wedding collection, which can be custom made, perfect for the newly engaged. Don't pass up the money box. A sweet yet strong suggestion device that matches your color scheme and helps pay for a few tropical drinks on the honeymoon? Brilliant.
(ring boxes $28, ring pillows $37, guest books $38)

Jaclyn Minori is also full of perfect gifts for christenings, first communions, and birthdays or baby arrivals. You can buy a premade box and insert your own memorabilia (invitations, baby spoons, ribbons, etc.), or Jaclyn Minori will customize a box according to theme and coloration of the significant event, like a baby shower (above, custom boxes run $60-$85). Go ahead, imagine yourself walking into the shower with best gift that truly never stops giving.
