Simple Gift Box SVG

About this design

Sometimes simple is best. This is a plain gift box with a slightly wider lid and a looping bow on top, with a few small accents in the bow that show gold in the layered version. The front of the box is completely plain, which makes it the perfect base for a name, a pattern or a design of your own.

The gift is one connected piece with five cut-outs, all in the bow. The shape is bold and simple, so it passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2.5 inches tall. It cuts well from felt, cork and faux leather. For an advent calendar, 3 to 4 inches per box.

Step by step: advent calendar boxes

1. Set the gift to 3.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut 24 from red, green and gold cardstock.
3. Write a number from 1 to 24 on each box with a white paint pen.
4. Glue a small envelope behind each one for a note or a treat.
5. Pin them to a board or string them on twine.

Design notes

The plain front is what makes this box so useful. With no pattern to work around, you can add any name, number or design you like.

Good to know

Use Slice in Cricut Design Space or Subtract in Silhouette Studio to cut a number or initial out of the box. The backing color then shows through for a clean two-color look.

Making it your own

Add stripes, dots, snowflakes or a monogram from the collection in your software. The simple box shape keeps any pattern looking neat.

Choosing a size

At 2.5 to 3 inches, it suits stickers and tags. At 3.5 to 4 inches, it fits advent calendars. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and signs.

Variations to try

• Add a number or name on the front in your software.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
