About Explosion & Surprise Boxes
When you order an explosion box, we aren’t just sticking photos on cardstock. I personally handcraft each layer to fit your story, figuring out how to hide the chocolates perfectly and selecting a color scheme that matches your specific vibe.
Each box is a little dream I build from scratch using high-quality cardstock and patterned paper. Whether you need a simple 2-layer box for a quick surprise or a 4-layer trunk filled with trinkets and photos, I handle the construction myself to ensure it opens smoothly every single time.
Customization is at the heart of what I do. You send me the photos and the personal messages, and I turn them into interactive waterfall cards or pull-out tags inside the box. I can use KitKats, Dairy Milk, or other treats to create 'cake' shapes or simple bouquet arrangements right in the center compartment.
Because this is a slow, manual process, I recommend booking at least a week before your special day, especially if you have a bulk order for a festival like Rakhi or Ganesh Chaturthi. If you're in Mumbai, we can coordinate the details, but I also ship these across India, making sure the layers are packed securely so the magic stays intact until you open it.
Got a specific theme? Whether it's a best friend's birthday with rainbows and butterflies or a romantic anniversary box, just share your idea. I’ll make sure the design, the colors, and the placement of every photo feel like they were made just for you.
