Favour Boxes
Favour boxes come in so many different shapes, sizes and colours, that it can sometimes be difficult to choose! Sometimes it's best to start by deciding what you want to put inside your favour boxes, as many will be too small if you decide on larger sweets, such as truffles or scottish tablet.
Once you know how big the box needs to be you can look at colours - of course the largest selection will be in white and ivory, but you can pretty much any colour favour box these days, from black to purple and hot pink to lime green.
Here is a selection illustrating the variety that's available:

Italian Favour Boxes vs Cheap Alternatives
The best favour boxes available are manufactured in Italy. Beware of cheap imitations from China or India - although they look the same in a photo the quality of the card stocks and manufacture leaves a lot to be desired! The last thing you want is a favour box that buckles and becomes misshaped when you add your filling, or that ends up being damaged when you try to assemble it because of the poor quality of the card stock.
Some boxes that are sold online also need glue or tape to assemble - that can get very time consuming and messy, not to mention the possibility of slip-ups in assembly that will leave you with boxes you can't use.
If in doubt, ask the retailer where the boxes are manufactured - if they don't know it's best to move on and find someone who does!
