Where might I find a box small enough to fit concert tickets? We were thinking a "watch sized box", but I don't know where my local Boxes R Us is. Any clues?

To go a department store and get a jewelry gift box meant for bracelets. Perfect size for concert tickets.

Now, to answer your question...
How about Mail Boxes Etc? UPS Store? The Post Office?

I was considering getting someone tickets and I would have taped them to a 5 pound 4"x3"x1" block of stainless steel from machining lab and wrapped that.

I am glad to see some of the other guys here went into the gutter upon reading the title also. Cool

I love Vacation! I just wish it was a little cooler so it would feel like Christmas.

Muchas gracias, all.

I think that my wife wants to give the tickets to her mother in a box, so that it looks more like a present.
