Open When...

Here are the OPEN WHEN boxes/envelopes that I made for my daughter. I placed all items in her room when we moved her in.

I printed the labels for each package on large mailing labels instead of ordering separate labels or envelopes online (ex. Etsy).

For the OPEN WHEN YOU GET THIS BOX I placed the items in a basket that she could put on her desk hutch to contain all of the items.

The rest of the OPEN WHEN items were placed in a larger basket and placed in her room. The basket matched the colors of the room so she could use it to store additional items later on.
