5 Tips for Repurposing Your Wanderful Box
We have loved coming up with creative solutions for repurposing our boxes and the products we put in them. Here are some of our favorite ways!
1.Gift Boxes
Whether you have one of our cardboard boxes or handcrafted wood boxes, they both make for aesthetically pleasing storage containers. Some of our favorite ideas for reusing the boxes:
Storing Photos & memorabilia
Closet organization
Arts & Crafts container
Storing Pokéman or baseball cards
Tea box
Make a car survival kit with road maps, snacks, first aid kit, flashlight, etc
Or, fill it back up and regift it! If you bring it back to our shop and add our products, we’ll give you $5 off your purchase!
2. Candles
We know how sad it is to burn through your favorite candle only to toss the pretty vessel at the end. Luckily, all the candles we sell can be repurposed! Here are some of our favorite ways to reuse empty candle containers:
Store Small arts & crafts pieces
Qtip holder
Pencil/pen holder
Makeup brush holder
Succulents or plant holder
Vase
Drinking glass (Check label to see if it is food safe)
chopstick/reusable straw holder for kitchen
Try your hand at candle making or find a local candle maker who reuses containers
Tip: To get the last bit of wax out of the vessel, put it in the freezer for a few hours and the wax will pop right out.
3. Cocktail Kits
These travel-friendly kits include the top-shelf ingredients and instructions you need to craft your favorite cocktails — just add alcohol!
Cocktail 2Go Kits:
These durable tins are great for storing small items that could easily get lost. Some ideas for reusing:

We love luxury skincare products and the packaging they come in! Reuse your bath salt jars, face mist bottles, etc for:

5. Shipping Materials
We reuse shipping materials from our suppliers and hope you can, too! If you notice packing peanuts, shred, etc in the packaging portion of your shipped gift, it’s because we reused it from boxes that were shipped to us to reduce our carbon footprint.
