Anyone got a good template (online) for a gift box?

I am making brownies for some relatives and want to put them in a homemade box.
I think a nice shallow box would be good, but not sure the best way to do it.
Anyone know where I can pinch a template for doing it?
I could do it with lots of glue, but prefer something with crafty folds instead!

Might it be easy to adapt?

Skrimble, I found that first link and had a go at the one that has the curved foldy bits. It's just the wrong shape really.
The second link is more like what I will do if I can't find one I prefer.
Thanks for those.

I just want one that folds into a box rather like a mcD happy meal box does (on the bottom - not the carry handle end!)

I used to love making the pillow shaped boxes. You just have to get the right curve for the ends and you can make any size.

I bet you are very precise and neat though. I am a bit hit and miss tbh!
I am steering away from glue incase I end up stuck to the box!

Any chance you can get a McD box and open it out and draw round.

For most boxes you will have to glue at least one seam or you could use double sided tape for a neat finish.
