Monarchs Butterfly Music Jewelry Box

I bought this music box for my nine-year-old granddaughter, who just began wearing and collecting earrings. I wanted a way for her to store her growing jewelry collection and this charming music box is ideal. It is whimsical enough for her to enjoy and useful enough to do the job.The music box is well-constructed, with a tiny rotating figure which appears when the box is opened...my granddaughter was delighted at the dancing figure and the music.The box also contains several pull-out drawers, making it a perfect storage place for tiny ear studs.Because it is so delicate, however, I wouldn't think this would be a great gift for a very young girl, unless an adult took charge of it. There are moving parts which rough play could damage or break off.

The art on the box is beautiful, the music plays nicely, and the special little drawers on the sides on the box are a hit with my daughter. She has been carrying this thing around since Christmas day, plays the music every night as she falls asleep, and loves just rearranging all of her jewelry in it a few times a day! And the box itself is sturdy enough that I don't have to worry about it being damaged if she drops it.

My team and I pulled together and purchased this for our manager who happens to have a Monarch Butterfly garden. She's always talking about how she takes care of her 'babies' and cries every time she releases them into the world. Needless to say, we knew she would totally love this as soon as she saw the box. Once delivered, I opened the box to see how it looked before wrapping it. Everything was fine except one of the knobs was coming off. Just a little tightening of the screw and everything was well. The day finally came for our potluck and she looked stressed from the rush of the day. When we presented her with her gift all we could see was this huge smile on her face. She opened the lid and she almost started crying because the butterfly inside looked just like the one she just released two weeks ago. She later told me that she collects music boxes and this was going to fit in nicely. This is a perfect gift idea that would bring an instant smile to someone's face.

I loved the fact that this box has a butterfly theme instead of the usual pink ballerina. My daughter likes the music, the butterfly, and the fact that is has the odd little drawers to hide her treasures in. The only thing I didn't like was that the large drawer in the front was stuck shut, and it took some careful work with a credit card to open it. Now it just has to be done slowly with a little jiggling to get it to slide out.

I purchased this as a Santa gift for my daughter in October. I loved my music box as a child. Seemed like the perfect gift. I received the item in October, but didn't check the product in the box. I was saving it for Christmas. When my daughter opened it Christmas morning, the music winder looked like it had been over-wound and didn't work. I checked Amazon, and the return period was expired. I shopped early for Christmas, and couldn't return the product without incurring cost...even though the product was not working.I called the 800 number on the box, and they gave me the number to distribution. I called distribution, and after a couple of messages back and forth over the holiday week, the rep said they had them in inventory, and he would send me one at no charge. And, I didn't have to ship the other back.Let me say...1. Check the return policy on online orders2. Check your product in the box when you receive itReeves, the distributor had wonderful customer service, and I got the replacement/working product within a week! THANK YOU!!! You made my holiday!

This was a special retirement gift for my daughter's first grade teacher. She was a very hands on teacher and when the class studied insects, my daughter and I supplied the monarch butterfly caterpillars and leaves, so this jewelry box was the perfect gift. Besides the twirling butterfly, it has lots of little secret drawers both front and back. The teacher loved it and I've bought a second one to give to my daughter for her birthday. I know when they play their music boxes and see the butterflies twirl, they'll think of each other for years to come.

My little girl was wanting this jewelry box from Santa Claus. I purchased it put it in her stocking, Christmas morning came and she was so excited! She was using it later on in the day and the Butterfly popped off and I essentially had to hot glue gun it back on and it still kept coming off. Pretty disappointed little girl and I'm not too happy considering it was $30. In my opinion it is not worth the money and I would not recommend it because it is junk.

Great compartments. I should have went with a fairy or something more girly looking. I got this for my bosses daughter. I thought it was nice enough. The butterfly I didn't find cute. It looked pretty real and well butterflies up close are just bugs. I added some glitter glue to it to give it a sparkle - glitter makes everything better. My boss said his daughter loved it. Me personally I would have liked more shine and regal colors. It is perfect for someone who loves butterflies and earth tones.
