- Memento box - If you need a place to keep your letters, photos and souvenirs, make a box for them. Cover a cardboard shoe box in your favorite stickers.
- Note cards - Turn plain notes into custom note cards by adding awesome stickers to the front. This gives you way more options for greeting cards than you would find in the store.
- Gift decorations - If you're giving a gift, seal the box with a sticker instead of tape. Or add a sticker to the wrapping paper to give it way more personality.
