This surprise box on the theme of emotions is a small gift for children where nobody knows what is inside until the lid comes off. Feelings and facial expressions set the theme, and the contents stay secret right up to the last moment. That is exactly where the fun lies: children pick the box up, shake it, guess, and then open it. The box is made in China.

It is meant for parents looking for small party favours and for anyone who wants to give a child a little lift in between. You can hand it out at a birthday party, put it on the table next to the big present, or keep it in the drawer you use for small rewards. Because the contents are a surprise, you do not have to think about favourite colours or preferences beforehand. The unwrapping itself is the part children look forward to.

Emotions are something children deal with every day. They laugh, get cross, marvel at things, pull faces in the mirror and read other people's expressions to work out how they are feeling. A box built around facial expressions picks up on exactly that experience and gives the small gift a clear theme.

What is inside stays unsaid, because that is the whole point of a surprise box. You hand over a closed parcel, and the child gets the moment of looking in for the first time. For many children that opening is at least as exciting as whatever ends up in their hands afterwards. Anyone who has handed out a lucky bag knows the short silence before everyone starts at once.

Party favours, birthdays and rewards are the occasions where the point is not a big present but a small gesture. That is exactly where this box fits, with no long deliberation needed on your part.

  • Surprise box on the theme of emotions and facial expressions
  • Contents stay secret until the box is opened
  • Made for children
  • Suits birthday party bags and favours
  • Also works as a small reward or a treat in between
  • Made in China

For a birthday party you simply take as many boxes as there are children invited. That way every child has a box of their own at the end of the party, and you no longer have to fill and tape up party bags yourself. That saves you the time on the day that otherwise goes on scissors and sticky tape.

Keep the boxes aside until the end of the party and hand them out as the guests leave. That way every child takes something home and the surprise does not end up on the floor somewhere between cake and games.

You can also make the box part of a game: a prize at the end of a treasure hunt, a reward for a week well managed, or a small pick-me-up when the day has not gone to plan. In keeping with the theme, you can turn it into a face-pulling game where everyone at the table acts out a feeling and the others guess. Hand the boxes out at the same time so that all the children open theirs together and can talk about what they found.

What is inside the box? That stays a surprise. The box is themed around emotions and facial expressions, and the contents only reveal themselves when it is opened.

Can I choose the contents? No, you cannot pick what goes in. That is precisely the appeal of a surprise box.

Who is the box for? For children. Parents mainly use it as a party favour at birthdays or as a small reward.

Do I need extra wrapping? No, the box is the packaging and can be given exactly as it is.

Is the box suitable for several guests? Yes. For a party you can take as many boxes as there are children invited.
