An Effective Way To Preserve Treasured Memories

By Oliver Jackson Carter

We often keep small mementos to remind us of specific events such as a birth or a wedding, or to remind us of people we've lost. It is not always easy to keep these memories safe and out of harms way, but one way of doing so is to use a box that has been designed specifically for that purpose.

With occasions like weddings, these boxes are usually given away to people involved such as the bridesmaids or the bride and grooms parents. These then become a valuable keepsake rather than just another hymn sheet or cardboard table place name to gather dust in a drawer somewhere.

Keepsake boxes can take many forms, but often are small wooden boxes with hinged lids. Beautifully painted and often personalised to commemorate a specific date, event or person, they are time capsules recording the event in question. If desired you can even have a photo imprinted onto the box to create an even more personalised gift.

Keepsake boxes come in different shapes and sizes and so you should make sure you select the right one so that you dont end up having to fold anything valuable like large photos. The quality of the craftsmanship of the box can vary greatly as well, many are imported from the far east and are not made to a particularly high standard, but there are some companies in the UK who hand make them, ensuring that they are made flawlessly down to the last detail.

Keepsake boxes are similar to memory boxes. Memory boxes are often used to hold and store the valuable memories from a deceased family member, treasured pet or loved one. It is a thoughtful gift to give to someone who has recently suffered a bereavement as it will help them to come to terms with their loss as well as providing a safe storage place for their treasures belongings.

In either instance, personalising the box is a nice touch that will make the gift all the more special and will then be treasured forever. - 30224
