AwesomeBox: A Heartfelt Gift He’ll Cherish Forever

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and I was having a really difficult time figuring out what to buy him.  The thing about my dad is that he has a lot of hobbies, but I never know what to get that he doesn’t already have.  He loves biking, woodworking, and fishing, but he either has everything he needs, or I know literally nothing about the hobby and wouldn’t even know where to start looking.

This usually ends up with my buying some functional yet generic something-or-other, and I always feel like the gifts are a little lacking in meaning. I try to make up for it with something nice written on his greeting card, but still, I’m always a little disappointed with my choice.

This year, though, I have found a solution, and this awesome gift works for any special occasion and recipient.

Meet AwesomeBox!

AwesomeBox is a fully customizable box full of photos, memories, special messages, and love on specially printed cards.  It really is a box full of awesome!

An AwesomeBox can be created by one person or multiple people, and can range from 10 to 100 cards; the choice is yours!  Since I’m an only child and this was a Father’s Day gift, I decided to create my AwesomeBox by myself, but I can picture all kinds of occasions when a group box would be perfect.  Here are a few ideas for both:

A Father’s or Mother’s Day gift to parents

A graduation gift to the graduate from the family

A birthday gift to/from anyone (endless possibilities here)

A wedding gift from the wedding party to the happy couple

An anniversary gift from a spouse

A farewell gift to a beloved coworker from everyone

Those are just a few thoughts, but I’m sure you can see that AwesomeBox is, well, awesome for so many occasions.

As for my box, I went with 25 cards. I sorted through all of the family photos to find my favorites, including some funny ones that I knew would make my dad laugh. In addition to photos, I created a few cards on my computer so I could caption a few pictures and make a couple of personalized text cards, and I also used some Father’s Day quotes on the default card designs.

When you have everything you want to add, you simply start uploading them into their system, which couldn’t be easier. You don’t even have to worry about cropping your photos ahead of time: their system will help you with that.  You have the option of adding text to the back of every photo card, so if you have a story to go with the picture, you can write it there. You can also do text-only cards, which is what I did for my quotes. Once you’ve uploaded all your materials, if you’re flying solo on the project, then you’re finished!  If you’re working on the box as part of a group, everyone will have a chance to add their own photos and text cards. (Keep this in mind when you’re choosing a box size: if you have 5 people working on the box, you might want to do a larger number of cards so everyone has plenty of “space” to share).

When your contributors have all finished and the box is ready to print, just submit your order and the folks at AwesomeBox will work their magic and send the memory box directly to your recipient, if you want. I actually wanted to wrap the box and present it to my dad myself, so I had it sent straight to me.

As for the box, I was so thrilled when I opened it! I already knew what I would find inside (after all, I created the thing), but it still didn’t prepare me for how nice the finished product would be. Your photos are printed on incredibly high-quality paper cards (5.25” x 5.25”) and are nestled neatly on a bed of orange crinkle confetti. I want to point out that some of my photos were really old, blurry, and even had a little damage, but I was really pleased with how clearly they printed! Nothing was pixelated, and everything looked exactly as I had hoped.

Since this is a Father’s Day gift, I haven’t given it to my dad yet. I did show my mom, though, and she got legitimately teary-eyed. I absolutely cannot wait to present it to my dad!

I’m so excited about AwesomeBox. They made creating the perfect gift so easy, and it’s sentimental and unique to boot. I love it, and I know you will too, so I have good news: if you’d like to try AwesomeBox, you can get $15 off any box with code AWESOMESUMMER, valid through August 31, 2016.
