Treasure Chest

Bebe & Bacup Toyboxes

Kids these days. They go through toys faster than an A-lister goes through spouses.

Between Barney, Bratz, and birthday-party schwag, the playthings start to pile up. And whether you’re sick of wading through fields of tiny legs or you’re recovering from injuries sustained during the fort phase, one thing is clear: The stuff needs stashing.

That’s what Bebe & Bacups hand-painted toy boxes are for. From polka dots to flying fish, the designs are sweet and stylish. No more hiding garish plastic bins every time you have company. Who would guess the classic wooden chests are hiding a world of disfigured Barbies and cross-dressing action figures? The trunks can also be personalized, making them a lifesaver in a multi-child household.

Who knows? Your kids just may learn a thing or two about protecting the things they love.

An excellent lesson at any age.
