This adorable window box is the perfect gift box for chocolate covered berries.
Recently I went to a mom unbirthday event (put on by the Utah Mom Tribe) along with my younger sister. The idea behind this event was that as mothers our birthdays are overlooked unless we step up and do something about it. So they decided to throw a fun UnBirthday party for local moms.
For this event both my sister and I agreed to bring 6 gifts to exchange with other moms. The idea being that everyone who came would get a gift. My sister used her Cricut to make some adorable Harry Potter mugs (with the hogwarts crest using perminant vinyl). She teamed these mugs up with my Harry Potter Bookmarks, a chocolate frog and some candy in the house colors.
I decided to make some dark chocolate covered berries (a favorite treat of mine that is acutally healthy. You can even eat it if you are on the keto diet…) I wanted their packaging to look as beautiful as the treat is yummy so I used my cricut to cut out custom boxes and lables. Follow the tutorial below to make them right away or save them to a Pinterest board for Cricut DIY tutorials to make them later!

I really loved how these Chocolate berry gift boxes turned out. Each box was big enough to hold 3 large chocolate covered strawberries along with 9 chocolate covered raspberries. If you are looking for a great gift to make/give to someone special in your life you can’t go wrong with a box of chocolate covered berries!
