How I Gift: A Guide to Loot Boxes
This post may contain affiliate links.For more information, please see our affiliate policy.My favorite way to give gifts (at the holidays, for birthdays, and all year round) is with what I call Loot Boxes.
Named after the treasures hidden and found in video games, loot boxes are stocked with a selection of small gifts, either around a theme or an eclectic mix.A few years ago, I started collecting small, beautiful things that I thought would make great gifts: candles, pens, note pads, kitchen towels, cheese knives, hand lotion, hair brushes, manicure kits, cosmetics bags, specialty candy, and so forth.Eventually I had such a large collection, I divided the items into pretty decorative boxes and mailed them out to my family and friends.
I decided to call them Loot Boxes, like a treasure chest in a video game full of potions, armor, and food.It’s not so different from a gift basket, but it’s easier to mail (this is helpful since my family, many friends, and my team live far away).A loot box can also be a totally random collection of items that are united only by my interest in gifting each one, whereas a gift basket is usually thematic.
I love the process of shopping for and creating loot boxes, and I thought you might get a kick out of it, too.Everyone who has ever received a loot box loves it, kids and adults alike.Table of ContentsChoose the Right BoxFilling the Loot BoxWrapping the Loot BoxGifting the Loot BoxWho gets a loot box?
