Gift container

Abstract

A gift container that can be personalized at home or businesses. The container has two transparent sections: a bottom section ( 1 ) and a top section ( 2 ). The top section ( 2 ) is sized slightly larger than the bottom section ( 1 ) so as to slide over the bottom section ( 1 ) to form a closed container. Pre-printed labels ( 8 ) or ( 13 ) are printed on high gloss paper, personalized using a computer program and inserted into the containers so as to be visible from the container's side(s) ( 5 ). Candy ( 7 ), chocolates, flower petals, toys and other objects are placed into the container for giving as gifts. Additionally, gift container holders ( 10 ) and ( 15 ) hold the containers and give a more festive appearance. The container is particularly well suited for lay people who like to give personalized gifts, as well as businesses wishing to market themselves or supply clients or employees with personalized gifts.
