In Opinion
Toliver's book is full of creativity. Instead of giving the traditional box, she demonstrates to think "out" of the box, such as a pasta colander, a toiletry bag or a sun tea jar. Personally, I would tell you to go throughout your house and find what you can use as a vessel. Then, I would go shopping for some nice contents, as to what you may afford. Dollar store items are very nice. I have heard a million times that it is all about presentation.
This is a wonderful hobby to take up.
I give this book a
5-star rating.
