Frequently Asked Questions

About Keepsake Boxes

What is a keepsake box?

A keepsake box (sometimes called a memory box) is typically made from wood and used to store mementos of a special time, event or person. Often purchased to mark major life events such as weddings, christenings, birthdays or First Holy Communions, they might also be given for bereavement or sad occasions to help with the grieving process. This sort of keepsake box might be personalized with an individual’s name or picture.

What goes into a keepsake box?

Keepsake boxes contain items that hold special importance for the person, time or event for which the box is intended. For example, a baby keepsake box might include ultrasound pictures, the hospital band and hat, first teeth and lock of hair, baby shower cards and announcements, etc. Creating keepsake boxes for travels is also popular and might include photos, tickets, brochures, souvenirs, maps, etc.

How long will a keepsake box last?

The quality and durability of a keepsake box will determine how long it lasts. Our boxes are meticulously handcrafted from the highest quality hardwoods and therefore will last a lifetime. Less expensive, mass-market boxes are often made of thin, low-quality wood that will fade, chip or crack within a few years. When it comes to safeguarding your treasures, the type of box you choose makes a difference.

Is a keepsake box a good gift?

Keepsake boxes make great gifts because they offer a beautiful way to safeguard and showcase photos, memorabilia and personal items that hold sentimental value.
