    Box Color
    0/14

    Engraved large in script on the lid, between the two sprigs. We size it to the box, so a short name and a long one both fill it the same way.

    0/14

    Engraved in capitals under the rule. SIXTEEN, EIGHTEEN, TWENTY-ONE and THIRTEEN all work, and so does a word of your own. We engrave exactly what you type.

    0/12

    Optional, engraved small under the milestone. Her birthday, or the date of the party. Leave it blank and we close the design up neatly.

    0/150

    Optional, engraved in script on the cedar inside the lid, where only she sees it. Up to 150 characters, so three short lines is about right. Press return to start a new line.

    Her name on the lid, and whatever you want to say engraved inside it.

    • Her name engraved large in script, framed by two fine botanical sprigs
    • Her milestone underneath, in your words: SIXTEEN, EIGHTEEN, TWENTY-ONE, or anything else
    • The inside of the lid takes a message of your own, engraved on the cedar
    • White or teal painted wood, 9 inches by 8.5 inches and 2 1/4 inches deep
    • Spanish cedar lining and internal locking hinges
    • Laser engraved, never printed on top

    At sixteen, eighteen and twenty-one she is handed a lot of things that will not last the year. This is the other kind of gift. It sits on her dresser through the rest of school, moves into her first apartment, and still opens with the same words inside it.

    The outside is hers: her name, big, in script, with the year she turned it. The inside is yours. Open the lid and there is a line only her family would write, engraved into the cedar where she is the only person who ever reads it.

    It starts out holding earrings and a ticket stub. Later it holds the things she does not throw away.

    How to Personalize

    1. Type her name. It engraves in script between the sprigs, sized to the lid, so a short name and a long one both look right.
    2. Type the milestone. EIGHTEEN, SIXTEEN, TWENTY-ONE, THIRTEEN and a word of your own all engrave the same way.
    3. Add the date if you want it, or leave it off.
    4. Write the message for inside the lid. Say the thing you would find hard to say out loud.

    We engrave exactly what you type, so read it back once before you add it to your cart. Our team engraves every box in Monroe, Connecticut.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What should I write inside the lid?
    The thing you would find hard to say out loud. It does not need to be clever and it should not be a quotation she could find anywhere. A line with her name, her age and who it is from will outlast anything borrowed. If you are stuck, write what you were thinking the day she was born and sign it.
    Can I use it for a birthday other than eighteen?
    Yes. The milestone line is free text, so SIXTEEN, TWENTY-ONE, THIRTEEN or THIRTY all engrave the same way, and so does a word that is not a number. It is sized to the lid, so a short word and a long one both fill the same width.
    Which finish should I pick?
    White engraves in a soft tan and reads clean and modern. Teal engraves in a pale cream and has more color to it. They are the same box underneath, painted, with the same Spanish cedar lining, and the engraving is equally crisp on either.
    How big is it, and what will it hold?
    Nine inches wide, eight and a half deep and two and a quarter tall, which is about the footprint of a hardback book and deeper than a trinket box. Earrings, rings and bracelets sit in it easily, and so do folded notes, photographs and ticket stubs.
    Is it from one person or from the whole family?
    Either, and the message inside is what decides it. Sign it from you, from both parents, or from everyone. If it is from everyone, put the family name at the end.
    Do you engrave exactly what I type?
    Yes, including the capitals and the line breaks in your message. We do not correct spelling or change your wording, so read it back once before you add it to your cart.
    Is personalization/engraving really free?

    Yes! Every item includes free personalization. Just enter your details on the product page and we'll customize it before shipping.
