Ideas for a small solid memory box for keepsakes and clothes

Hi everyone. I have my late daughters bits and pieces in a little chest, and Im looking for something new to put them in. It's some of her clothes and a few other bits. I can't find a storage box that would do and wonder if any of you lovely ladies could help. I would like it to be moth proof and solid but pretty looking and not made of cardboard. Also a small ottoman size would be good.

I'm so sorry you lost your daughter. That's heartbreaking. Flowers

I wonder whether this would be better in another part of MN? I've never noticed the Shopping section before. There is a bereavement section where people might be able to help.

Hello, OP. We're so very sorry for your loss.

As the PP suggested, we can move this to the Bereavement forum for you, if you'd like. Just let us know.

I just wanted wooden box ideas. Not really memory boxes. So I dont think the bereavement forum is the place. Just maybe a plain wooden box with lid that I can decorate myself but I can't seem to find the right one. I will go to TK Maxx tomorrow they may have something.
Thanks for your condolences. Her stuff has been in a pirate type chest for a long time and I wanted something a bit more floral if you know what I mean.
