Thanks everyone ..you all came up with so good ideas that I did not think of...

love the tote one and the fancy box they wouldn't throw the box away after the shower so that would be a good thing..

Thanks again for your help :)

Also at the USPS are free Priority Boxes, and for sale are large white boxes which cost $3-4.

Walmart has boxes, look in the "mailing/office" area.

Our "dollar type" stores have boxes for sale in assorted sizes.

I used the SPiderman snow boots box my grandson's boots came in - dil was going to throw it away anyway - I snatched it up along with the boxes from other pairs of shoes bought that day - I'm down to one now -

I used the Spiderman box for two baby quilts to two new babies in my family and the family got a kick out of the box it came in - as did the UPS driver that picked it up! But, why not recycle? :)

Try JoAnns or maybe Hallmark for decorated ones. However, the plastic tote idea, from Naomi, sounds like a great idea, since it can be reused.

Sometimes the grocery stores have boxes that they pile up for your taking. All sizes and cut it down to fit your items.
