Roger la Borde Canisters
Festive polka dots adorn the tinware from the British design studio. $4-$24 at Kate's Paperie, multiple locations.
Box from a Store
It may be the Tiffany blue box for you. Or any number of luxe packaging that comes as part and parcel with a ring of the till at your schmancy stores. Currently we're taken with the box from Paul Stuart: thick cardboard with a satiny coat of chocolate brown, the company's logo in copper at the corner. Inside, it's lined with that copper color. The sweater was nice, but we loved the box.
