Hi, Ana Maria of Anamu here! Do you ever buy a product that comes in a box so great that you hold on to it because it might be useful for something else? If yes, you will love this, if no, this might inspire you to hoard a little bit.
Not too long ago I bought my preferred spirit, armagnac, and it came in fantasticly sturdy wood box. I instantly knew that would make a great storage bin for by bathroom's countertop. The size, the depth, the weight - it had everything going for it except that it needed some personality. I considered painting but decided that wrapping it in fabric would give it more of the polished boutique-y feel I was going for. Don't have a wood box? Depending on the end purpose (how sturdy you want/need it to be) you could use an old shoe box or buy new gift boxes from your local art supplies shop.
