You could get decoupage glue and decoupage some sort of pictures your daughter likes onto the box. It could be food related pictures, something she likes, family pictures, pictures of her. Or how sentimental do you want to go? If you have family pictures of ‘food’ holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthdays (including of family and food that is traditional to your family) -maybe those would be a fun and sentimental thing to decorate the box with.

I have a tea pot and cups with a pretty pansy design and it had matching paper napkins available so I used those to decoupage a tray to go with the tea pot.

I have an old shelf unit glass storage jars that have wooden lids. I don’t use them any more so have been thinking of painting them my daughter’s school colors and decoupaging them with school related stuff for her. Not sure if she will like them but it would be fun for me!
