Looks good. We built display gift boxes for honey back when building hives commercially. Because of needing to have labels on the jars we made the boxes longer and narrower so the flat surface faced out. With your label on top this is not an issue on these. Some gift store is going to want to stock them and in order to keep the public from dumping them out you will need to come up with a plan to keep them contained in the box and avoid people mixing and matching them. My buddy started off by wood strips top and front but switched to shrink wrapping his so they would stay. The only other comment is the sloped sides, they look good ans display the jars of honey better but it will affect stack ability of the gift packs.

Another nice touch is a brand or ink stamp on the gift boxes.

lol. I don't mean to come off as bragging. I am just hoping to share ideas with everybody and let them know if these things work or not,

I am just flying around by the seat of my pants and having fun.

I am getting some great feedback on the soap though. So I think we'll continue with it.

Very nice display of your products using tiers. much more inventive than rows of stacked up product.

Awe now.... I'm just being my snarky self  ;)

If I had the man power (husband) to achieve beekeeping to that level, well, that would be my bees knees. I'm all about creativity and marketing like you are doing. Envious  ;)
