GEAR UP FOR CHRISTMAS – DECORATED HOLIDAY KEEPSAKE BOX
(Available exclusively at My Little Pretties USA)
This whimsical steampunk Christmas box is anything but ordinary. Built from a sturdy upcycled cigar box and wrapped in Stamperia’s “Gear Up for Christmas” papers, it tells a magical tale where Victorian mice, top-hatted Santas, and clockwork toys live side by side.
The outside features a cozy cottage adorned with snowy gears and festive holly, while the interior reveals a mechanical Christmas wonderland: a gear-trimmed tree, Santa in a flying contraption, and an advent-style countdown lining the walls. Dimensional metal gears, vintage trims, and gold edging give this piece its heirloom presence.
🎩 What makes it special
• Original artwork from Stamperia’s steampunk holiday line
• Mixed-media embellishments including real metal gears and ornate box feet
• Lined interior with fully illustrated walls and base

🎁 Use it as a seasonal décor accent, a one-of-a-kind gift box, or a cherished holiday keepsake chest. Perfect for lovers of vintage fantasy, storybook holidays, and imaginative Christmas décor.

To keep your box looking its best:
• Avoid placing it in direct sunlight (which may fade the paper)
• Keep it out of humid areas like bathrooms
I use high-quality, archival scrapbook paper that’s made to last for years, but gentle care will help it stay beautiful longer.
The box size I use depends on the paper design. Most designs are made using 12x12” paper, but smaller prints (6x6” or 8x8”) require smaller boxes. If you’d like a different size than shown in the listing, just message me—I’ll let you know what’s possible and do my best to make it happen.
A: A custom box takes extra time because I carefully plan the design with your preferences in mind. I may need to order special embellishments or supplies to make it truly unique. Your input is always welcome!
🛑 Holiday note: The deadline to order a custom box for Christmas delivery is November 1st.
No. I only use clean, undamaged cigar boxes that are free of odor. Each box is hand-selected for quality before decorating.
While there’s no “Custom Order” button in my shop (during the Holiday season), most listings can be personalized. I work with beautiful papers from:
• Graphic 45
• Stamperia
• Blue Fern Studios
• Ciao Bella
• Mintay
If you see a collection you love (after Nov 1st), send me a message. I’d love to create something just for you.
Each decorated box is thoughtfully wrapped to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully:
• First, I wrap your box in two layers of soft tissue paper for a gentle protective layer.
• Next, it’s wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap to cushion it securely during transit.
• I then tie it with a coordinating ribbon, not only for a charming presentation but also to make it easy to lift the box from the shipping carton—just pull the ribbon.
Your order is then placed in a sturdy box and shipped with care. I take pride in every detail, so your unboxing experience is as delightful as the keepsake inside.
