Giant matchbox keepsake

Give a gift that slides out of a giant matchbox

Everyone knows how a matchbox opens, so a giant one is a gift box with a built-in moment: push the drawer and the present slides out. It is sized for jewellery, a watch, a message or tickets. OPEN ME is raised on the drawer end.
