1. Find the items you want to put in the boxes. Your going for the five senses, Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste and Smell. Here were the items that I decided to go with, but of course you can make it your own.
For Sight I chose Lingerie - I went into Victoria Secret and tried on a bunch of different styles to find a set that I felt most comfortable with, I knew my own "Trouble areas" so I am glad I did decide to try it on first instead of just picking up and running out of the store. I was actually surprised by the set that looked the best. I picked up some massage oil for Touch, Made a Play List for Hear (I could have used Spotify or Pandora but had this play list already), A Yummy Yankee Candle for Smell and Will make Chocolate Dipped Strawberries for Taste.
To Be honest I am super excited for this Gift!
2. Find some boxes: The original lady I followed made her black boxes out of Lipton Tea boxes, she just painted them black. I tried to go easier and ordered a bunch on Amazon, However they didn't arrive on time so I found 5 big sheets of black card at $0.48 per sheet at Ocean State Job Lots and decided I was going to make my own.
Mine were 5 x 5 cubes.
I will add a tutorial to the boxes ASAP.
3. Next I added their Labels, See, Smell, Taste, Touch & Hear, I Just created & printed some off my computer, cut them out and stuck them on with Pritt Stick. I will also add a printable asap.
The Next step was to fill them up, I placed my items in each box, dressed them up with tissue paper....
And tonight I will put them up in a Large Tower of Fun, with a twine tied around them with a small bow on top....
