The hunt for the Ang Bao box...

Initially want to get a nice mailbox or a watering can as the ang bao box...

some nice examples from the internet:




But it is like IMPOSSIBLE to find a nice/decent looking one in town... Sigh.. =(
Bird cage was another popular item for weddings nowadays.. but dun really like the idea it symbolise... seems like locking away our freedom... @_@
but if its to put cash.. should still be fine... right? heehee...

Some tatty bears normal box idea..this is one of the better one that i saw online.. looks so pretty! but think the tatty bears are quite ex and its pretty normal too..


Tier "cake" ang bao box are pretty in recently too..
I think it looks pretty good too! but charpau said not v pretty... Hmmm


Saw a glass candle holder in Holland V and it looks perfect as a special ang bao box..But guess what.. the price is $220!! Faint! @_@


Came across some picnic baskets too.. but I dun really fancy them..somemore it cost $20+-$30+.. abit ex for a picnic basket? hmmm



Finally we settled on a Vintage Bird Cage from Arab Street.. too tired with all the walking and sourcing..

costed us $48 after some haggling..not too ex..and it should save us some time & cost since the cage looks pretty good by itself already.. ;)

Ang Bao box - Case Closed
Phew~~
