Created by freelance graphic designer Anna Trympali, this romantic gift box set helps couples prepare custom Valentine's Day surprises. The kit includes lined note cards, letter cards to match the initials of a loved one, plus an origami crown.
With only sparing touches of red, white and popular motifs like cupid and hearts, the box defies the look of conventionally cute branding for this holiday. Instead, the cards in the set take a graphic approach to the celebration with a scheme of black, white and red that alludes to a deck of playing cards, alongside other elements of the set that ask: "Will you be my king?" Since the kit is so unassuming, it would make a perfectly romantic surprise in February or any other time of the year.
