Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to show those special people in your life how much you care, and what better way to do it than with a thoughtful gift presented in beautiful packaging?
Polystyrene boxes, known for their durability and versatility, can be transformed into delightful gift containers tailored to each recipient. Let’s explore some creative ideas!
For Mom: The Gourmet Guru
Gift idea: an assortment of fine chocolates, gourmet nuts, or artisan candies
Box choice: hinged compartment container
Why it’s perfect: When it comes to pleasing foodies, plastic boxes offer myriad options to package mouthwatering gifts. For the true snacker, compartment boxes are the perfect way to offer a multitude of enticing choices, all displayed beautifully.
Compartments keep items organized and prevent them from shifting during transport. Fill each one with a different indulgence, add your own label, and enclose in shrink wrap for freshness. All of our boxes are food-safe and BPA-free.
For Dad: The Kid At Heart
Gift idea: collectible playing cards
Box choice: friction-fit slider box
Why it’s perfect: You know he’s got a stash of old collectible cards somewhere! Whether he’s into baseball, football, or gaming collections, he might even have some special limited editions or priceless treasures.
What better way to package, store, and safeguard them than in a box designed precisely to hold sets of 25, 50, or 100 cards? These crystal-clear, two-piece boxes can be used to store and protect trading cards, sports cards, and one to two decks of playing cards. Cards will remain secured, clean, and easily accessible for when he wants to show them off.

For Sister: The Reigning Queen
Gift idea: fashion bling
Box choice: hinged box with a secure clasp
Why it’s perfect: What little sister doesn’t love some sparkle? Package a necklace, a pair of earrings, an elaborate hair tie, or a full-on tiara, and watch her eyes glow with delight.
The transparent design allows little sis to see her goodies at a glance, while the sturdy clasp ensures everything stays in place. And assuming anyone can get her to clean up her room, treasures can be placed right back in their packaging – perfect for neat and simple storage!
For Brother: The Adventurer
Gift idea: desktop aquarium, terrarium, or living habitat
Box choice: OMNI box
Why it’s perfect: The OMNI collection offers crystal clear, seamless boxes that are leak-free and offer a beautiful 360-degree view of whatever they hold. In sizes as large as 12 ½” x 9″, they make a great choice for bringing a little wildlife into a room!
From frogs and snakes to tarantulas, hermit crabs, fish, or snails, these boxes make the perfect mini-homes. Lids can be left on or removed depending on what’s inside, and these boxes are so strong that you can drill small air holes without damaging them.
For Wife: Mixologist Extraordinaire
Gift idea: a top-shelf bottle or unique cocktail liqueur
Box choice: unhinged box with flush lid
Why it’s perfect: Have you ever wondered why some of the most expensive liquors come in cardboard boxes? Why not package those elite finds in something more elegant and protective?
Enter plastic boxes! Polystyrene boxes are durable enough to withstand jostling and rough handling while keeping contents safe. With options for custom foam inserts, you can be assured that your gift will not only be packaged beautifully, but it will also be delivered in one piece. And when the bottle is safely ensconced on her bar, boxes are reusable and recyclable – the gift that keeps on giving!
For Husband: The Avid Collector
Gift idea: signed collectible from a favorite sports team
Box choice: OMNI box with pine base
Why it’s perfect: Glass may be the traditional choice for display cases, but it’s heavy, comparably expensive, and it can break if hit or dropped. Recyclable polystyrene, on the other hand, is equally crystal clear, but far less expensive and more durable.
With their 360-degree view and seamless sides, they’re the perfect display cases for special treasures, priceless memorabilia, and grown up toys. They’ll keep contents both dust-free and out of the pudgy fingers of curious little ones!
For Teacher: The Appreciated Educator
Gift idea: a sweet indulgence
Box choice: round box with flush lid
Why it’s perfect: Round containers have all the same qualities as flush-lid and OMNI containers, including their ability to marry with our pine bases. Like all of our boxes, they’re food-safe, BPA-free, and can be customized with inserts and imprints for a truly memorable experience. And as you might have guessed, they’re also ideal for round items – think pies, cakes, and brownies.
Skip the injustice of those bakery boxes with flimsy plastic windows and elevate your gift to something special in a box that’s strong, crystal-clear, and will elegantly showcase tasty treats. As a bonus, the box will be reusable long after its contents have been devoured – something that should earn you an A+ with the teacher!
For Everyone Else On Your List!
Gift idea: too numerous to count!
Box choice: any one of our beautiful, rigid, reusable, and recyclable boxes
Why it’s perfect: Whether it’s a small token of appreciation for a coworker, a thoughtful surprise for a best friend, or a heartfelt keepsake for grandparents, the right box can turn even the simplest gesture into something memorable.
From edible surprises to candles, bath bombs, artisanal soaps, handcrafted notes, personalized keychains, miniature succulents, jewelry and fashion accessories, toys and games, polystyrene boxes offer a stunning presentation while keeping gifts safe and secure.
By selecting the right box for your Valentine’s Day gift, you not only enhance the presentation but also ensure the contents are well-protected and delightfully surprising.
