One of the biggest challenges in life, it seems, is to repeatedly find unusual Christmas gift ideas; especially if you have a someone that is impossible to buy for. If you have a special someone in your life that truly seems to have it all, you can't go wrong with a handmade wooden jewelry box or decorative keepsake box.
Whether you're shopping for that special woman or man in your life, nothing is more special and unique than a handcrafted decorative box made of exotic woods. Men appreciate the fine craftsmanship and also appreciate something that is artistic, classy, and masculine. They can use it to store keepsakes, jewelry, or watches; or even remotes, device chargers, and "pocket stuff."
And ladies, of course, absolutely love having a beautiful piece of decor that also serves to store their jewelry and special keepsakes. Few things are as thoughtful, personal, and unique as the gift of a handcrafted jewelry box.
Below are a few suggestions on how these gorgeous wooden decorative boxes can be your solution for that perfect unique Christmas gift.

This "Catch-All" box is not only a beautiful piece of art, but is one of the most ideal unique gifts for men. Placed on a coffee table, it can hide away unsightly remotes or chargers; or can hide pens, staplers, and other office items.
Women have an intrinsic love for anything beautiful and personable; not to mention they love to have a place to organize their jewelry. This "Angle" box is my second largest, & has secret doors on the sides to hold necklaces.
My other popular design for unique gift ideas for women is my "Swingdoor." This standing jewelry box is a smaller version of the Angle, but also has hooks upon which to hang necklaces (and drawers for other jewelry).
One of my most popular designs for women is an armoire jewelry box which includes ten drawers to store earrings, bracelets, or watches; and also includes two doors that open up to reveal sliders on which she can organize and hang her necklaces. Any woman will attest to how challenging it is to keep all of her necklaces untangled and easily displayed; this is the answer to that dilemma!
Giving a handmade wooden jewelry box shows your loved one how much you treasure his or her own individuality and appreciation of quality. How personal is it to give a gift that was mass produced in a factory in China? By putting some effort into finding truly unusual Christmas gift ideas, you are showing that your special someone is worth the extra effort and worth more than a last-minute trip to the mall.
Not to mention, you have plenty of opportunity to get truly creative when giving your exotic hard wood box.
Regardless of who your special one is, or what they received in the past, nothing makes for more unique Christmas gift ideas than the gift of a handmade wooden jewelry box. Your only obstacle will be trying to come up with something better next year!
PLEASE NOTE: Sadly Steve has passed away, so these boxes are no longer available.

I purchased one of your Bubinga and Maple boxes about 4 years ago and still think it's as beautiful as the day I bought it. The craftsmanship is superb and leaves nothing to be desired. My wife loves the flexibility of it and everyone who sees it thinks it is simply stunning. Thanks so much for such a wonderful product.

Thank you, Steve, for the beautiful jewelry box. It is gorgeous and I know that my daughter will love it. We hope it will be an heirloom piece for her to remember her graduation day from med school. Hopefully we will do business again in two years when my other daughter finishes her grad degree. Sincerely yours,
~ Georgia
Just to let you know that my jewelry box arrived
and it is stunning, I really love it! I looked at hundreds of them including
store-bought (and probably Chinese-made), Amish/Shaker, and other hand-mades,
and yours were the most beautiful (and the most versatile, as none of the
others had adjustible drawer dividers).
Thanks for the beautiful jewelry box, and I'm
glad my holiday purchase was Made in the USA.

Hi Steve, I just wanted to tell you
that I have been having so much fun with my beautiful box, putting everything
in one place (at last) and standing in front of it with the doors and a drawer
open, admiring both the box and my lovely pieces. It sits in a place of
honour in my bedroom; and has been much admired by
my friends. Keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
~ Pam
