Who doesn't love the idea of breaking open a piñata and watching all those goodies rain down? This little fellow won't hold a lot, but what a great way to present a small gift for someone - or just for decoration - he's just so festive.

He is only about 7 inches high from horn to hoof and from nose to tail he measures about 6 inches, and about 3 inches wide. There's an opening on the bottom (although you might have to fiddle with it a bit to open it) for you to insert your present.

We love old boxes - to collect and to give away. We especially enjoy boxes like this to use for collage or assemblage. But, more than anything, we like to package gifts in these. Our friends have come to expect fun gifts in vintage boxes.

This Vintage Heal-Aseptic box measures 2 by 2 by 5 inches when it is "assembled". It arrives flat and is pretty easy to put together.

Hand Forged Bronze Crocodile Box

This sturdy little box features a lid with the image of a crocodile atop it. It reminds us of a sarcophagus or other funeral-related containers that you might find in an ancient pyramid. The image of the crocodile is also useful as a handle to remove the lid. 

It's size belies such a use: the base measures 2-1/4 inches long by 1 inch wide and, without the lid, about 1 inch high. The lid adds another 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Each rough-hewn box is different from the next, as each is made individually by skilled traditional craftsmen.

Recycled Paper Bowl with Lid

See More Useful Décor

Adapting necessity to art, traditional basket-making techniques are used to make these wonderful little pots or bowls. Artisans use recycled posters from printing companies. First they make long flat strips of paper, dipped in glue - then dried. Then, after the strips dry, the artisans wet them again form them into useable shapes, like this little bowl with a lid. It is all held together with the glue as the strips are coiled. Sturdy household items are the result.

The brightly colored random patterns are derived from the shapes and the contents of the posters used, so you may see some printed words on yours, too.

We were particularly enchanted with this little piece as it is made of two pieces. You might use them together as intended, or, better yet, use the lid as a small dish for wrapped candies or the like.

The pot measures about 5 inches in diameter at the top and about 3 inches on the bottom. It stands a little over 3 inches high. The lid sits down in side the bowl, but if standing alone, it sits about 2 inches high.

Each bowl is different, not only because it is handmade, but, because the paper strips are never the same from item to item. So, please let SilverCrow choose one for you.

Not all memories fit nicely between page protectors. With the Biography 101, you can secure your photos, postcards, letters, etc. into the album. But, even better, you can use the shadow box for keeping that special dimensional memorabilia.

The design is so clever - it can stand open on a shelf, table or piano - so you can share your special memories in an elegant fashion. Or, if you prefer to secretly treasure those memories, the suitcase is quite attractive closed and stacked amongst your books.

The album itself arrives with 10 standard page protectors, and buckles snugly into the case. The 3-inch window on its front lets you highlight your favorite photo or allows you to title your work.

On the other side, the shadow box offers a hinged door with ribbon closure. The album and treasure shadow box are both acid-free and lignin-free. We are especially fond of the canvas covered carrying case that resembles a suitcase. Wonderful for any memory project or even for altered art, we think it a magnificent way to preserve your travel memories!

This sweet little box is decorated with leaves and holly atop the pudding. Each time an English family in centuries past would make a plum pudding, everyone made a wish in advance.

Close-Up

 

Hindu Gods-Goddesses zipper Bag

The very first time we saw these little zipper bags, we knew we had to offer them to SilverCrow customers. The coated viscose is printed with vibrantly colored renderings of Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

They are all hand-made by artisans, so each is different. Colors and images vary tremendously. But each is a work of art in itself.

The fabric is no other - it is waterproof. However, because it has a standard zipper, it is not leak proof.  Equally appropriate as a gift sack, change purse or treasure pouch, you'll want several of these little bags. At approximately 3-1/4 inches by 3-1/2 inches, you'll find them very versatile.

We can't guarantee you a particular God or Goddess as we never know which ones we'll receive. However, if you specify a preference, we'll try to accommodate your choice.
