Because love stories don’t end — they just change form
🦴 Forever & Always – Skeleton Heart Box
When Rachel reached out to order this box, she wrote,
“We’re not the flowers-and-chocolates kind of couple — but forever and always, that’s us.”
She and her husband had started dating back in college over Halloween, bonding over horror movies, ghost tours, and late-night coffee in the campus cemetery. So when she saw the skeleton hands forming a heart, she said, “That’s our version of romance — a little eerie, a little funny, but still full of love.”
The song she chose was “Unchained Melody.” It’s the one they always danced to at home, slow and quiet, long after the music stopped. She told us, “It’s hauntingly beautiful — just like the idea of two souls that never really let go.”
That’s what this box became — a love story carved in wood and carried by a melody that’s meant to last forever and always.
🎃 Pumpkin Couple Box
When Jack ordered this box, he wrote in the notes, “We got married in October - she walked down the aisle surrounded by pumpkins, not flowers.”
He was searching for an anniversary gift that would bring that memory back - not just their wedding day, but the way the air smelled like cinnamon and rain, and how she laughed when the power flickered right before their vows.
The Pumpkin Couple design caught his eye immediately. “It’s us,” he said. “We’ve always been a little goofy - she calls me her pumpkin king.”
He chose the song “This Is Halloween” as an instrumental version - lighthearted, fun, and full of nostalgia. “It’s not scary - it’s just our kind of magic.”
For them, this box wasn’t about spooks or scares - it was about celebrating a love that feels like autumn: cozy, colorful, and impossible not to smile about.
🧙♀️ To My Favorite Witch Box
When Mark sent his engraving request, it simply said: “To My Favorite Witch - from your forever spell.”
He told us his girlfriend had a Halloween tradition - every year, she decorated their entire house with cauldrons, candles, and spell books, and made him watch Hocus Pocus at least three times before October 31st.
When he found this engraving, he said it was “the first time a gift felt exactly like her - funny, mysterious, and full of love.”
For the song, he chose “I Put a Spell on You.” It was the track that played on repeat while they painted pumpkins together the first Halloween they met. “It’s her anthem,” he wrote. “She definitely put one on me.”
The finished box became part of their Halloween display - a keepsake that hums with the same playful magic she brings to every October.
👁️ I Only Have Eyes for You Box
When Lucas placed this order, his note was just one line:
“She says I never notice anyone else — this should prove it.”
He and his fiancée had a running joke about how he could walk through a crowded room and still only have eyes for her. So when he saw this design, he laughed and said, “That’s us - a little spooky, a little obsessive, and a lot in love.”
He chose “I Only Have Eyes for You” because it was the song they slow-danced to in their living room the night they got engaged. He told us, “It’s romantic, but it’s got that old-school ghostly sound - it’s like love echoing through time.”
For him, the engraving wasn’t creepy - it was a promise. A way of saying that no matter how busy life gets or how many years pass, his heart still tunes in to only one person.
🌕 Tales from the Bayou Box
When the order came in, the engraving note said:
“Something that reminds me of home.”
The customer, a man named Andre, grew up in Louisiana and wanted a box that captured the mood of the bayou - still, moody, and full of stories. He said his grandmother used to sit on the porch at night, telling ghost tales while cicadas hummed and the air smelled like rain and magnolia.
The Tales from the Bayou design caught his eye because of its layered shadows and quiet mystery. He wrote, “It feels like a story carved into wood - like every line could be a secret.”
He chose “House of the Rising Sun” for the song. “It’s not a love song exactly,” he said, “but it sounds like the South - like something ancient and beautiful and a little sad.”
For Andre, this wasn’t just a keepsake; it was a way to keep a piece of home - a melody that carries the stories he grew up with, now told in the creak of gears and the hum of a music box.
💀 Till Death Do Us Part — Cemetery Scene Box
When Evelyn ordered this design, she wrote in her note, “We’re that couple who slow-dances in the kitchen and tells ghost stories afterward.”
She and her husband had been married for twelve years, and every October they tried to outdo each other with over-the-top Halloween decorations. When she saw the Cemetery Scene design, she laughed and said, “This is exactly our kind of romance — spooky but sweet.”
She picked “Unchained Melody” for the song — the one they’ve danced to a hundred times, in living rooms and candlelight, and sometimes even wearing fake vampire teeth. “It’s hauntingly beautiful,” she said, “and maybe just a hint of foreshadowing.”
For them, “Till Death Do Us Part” isn’t a warning - it’s an inside joke. A promise that even forever might not be long enough.
