There are a lot of small boxes in the average household. For example such small boxes with metal staples, a box with screws or nails, cute boxes for special sweets, there are small boxes with tea bags. A lot of people are keeping metal boxes for peppermint dragees, licorice or something else.

Out of curiosity, what sized match boxes are we thinking here? I went to the store and there are little guys and big guys. The big ones hold 250. I'm guessing we're talking about the little guys, but I just wanted to check. The picture looks like the smaller ones, but it could hold just a few huge matches ^_^ I don't want to send a tiny one and get a huge one, or send a big one and get a little one. What can I say, I embarrass easily!

I allready have some ideas to put in the box. I'm also very curious what you all put in it :)

@ MissMelissa: i'm still in doubt what kind i'm gonna use. I think i'm gonna use the small one because i think my items will fit in it. If not, i'm gonna use a larger one so it depend on if it fits or not.

There are even more sizes of match boxes and different sizes of matches. I don't think all the different countries have the same sizes, either, plus some people don't have/won't use match boxes, so it really doesn't matter as long as it's a small box. A bigger (or smaller) box doesn't mean better presents, it all depends on your ideas. No need to be embarassed, size isn't everything! ;)

I'd be happy to join too..)

One question - must goodies in a matchbox be all of the same type (for ex. all stickers) or can/should they be different (1 sticker, 1 pin and so on)?

I think they should all be different - whatever you think another Member/ you yourself would like to receive, and, of course, small enough to fit inside a matchbox, or similar-sized small box.

I will add you to the list - thank you for joining kristl!
