My 3 yo girls are obsessed with magic keys and treasure chests. I wanted to get them each a cute chest with a key - maybe for Valentines. Maybe jewelry box size or a little bigger. I don't want to spend a ton. Has anyone seen anything that might work?


TIA!

The first thing that came to my mind is to check Michael's or Hobby Lobby, - maybe even Wal-Mart. I couldn't find a link on the Michael's website, but I know they have "wooden" jewelry boxes & trunks that you can decorate and design yourself. Might be fun!

This looks cute. Review complains it is small but sounds like you are looking for something smaller. You could add something else to your cart to get free shipping. HTH.

I have seen the bigger M & D treasure chest and it is cute, but about $25.

I found this plastic one at Party City. I didn't want to spend a lot so it worked well.

We have this one and it is so cool. We filled it with loot and put it in
a trash bag and buried it in our backyard. Then we went on a pirate
treasure hunt. My DH even carved arrows in a few of our trees to
mark the way. Then there was a big 'X' on the ground in stones to
mark where we should dig. The kids went crazy digging. It was
so much fun!!! :)

Thanks for the ideas! I will check them out. I have seen the IKEA one, but I don't think it will work - they want one with a key that works! Must be from something they watched :)

I will definitely check these out!

Yup, we have a few from the Party store like the link posted above. They LOVE the key. Look in the pirate section of the birthday supplies.
