Boxes for misc items are great ways to stylishy keep your odds and ends together.  Like pictures and cut out pieces from magazines and such.  Then when you want to make a decoupage or special note to your special someone you only have to look in your box to find what you need.  Having your pics and such already cut out helps to ensure that when you want to make something real quick that you can cut some time and still make it look just as good.
