I've stopped calling my boxes gift boxes, and now refer to them as keepsake boxes. It's amazing to me what a difference a description can make. Gift boxes imply one-time use, while the boxes I make are sturdy, made from acid-free matboard and will last. They're great for display on a shelf and to keep miscellaneous items - photos, keepsakes, collections of plastic miniatures... many things.
Keepsake, that's a perfect description. I also like treasure boxes. I use one to store photos of friends and family — that I may never get around to placing in an album and enjoy sorting through now and again by hand.
