I have lots of samples and creams from companies and I have them in two round boxes and also in a victorian looking tiny container.........what could I put these things in so I can reach them easily in my bedroom?  A Basket, More Boxes that match, I would like them all in one container but it needs to be romantic.  Thank you.

Maybe a drawer?

At the bells outlet in my town they have a huge display of boxes that are covered with beautiful papers.I have one that is hatbox shaped and another that closes like a suitcase - those have my sewing in them and then I have some that are shoebox size on the shelf over my desk that hold stationary, greeting cards, wrapping paper, Notebooks and notepaper. I just adore those boxes - they are brand new but look vintage.

I got such a giggle out of this post . . . 

Nothing against the OP; I'd probably wonder about this myself. 

But, lol, the ultimate first world problem!

TJ Maxx often has these same kinds of boxes, and I, too, have many of them. They are great for storing things right out in the open, easily accessible, without having to dig in closets, cupboards and drawers for things needed on a regular basis. 

 

You can get them to match any decor style, they are sturdy and look great as decor additions, and many come in sets of three or more, in graduated sizes, to make an even more coordinated look. 

 

Between these, and the VPH folding ottomans, I have really increased my storage space, and made it easily accessible.

I have a medium size chest on my night stand (from Linda Dano) that I keep various night time items.  It looks nicer than it may sound. This one ic faux croc (white) and it holds all ov my stuff. I've seen similar items like this at Pier 1.

I also have a small collection of hat boxes that I keep in my closet to hold cards from the kids. I haven't seen them in stores but I'm thinking they probably still make them and sell them on line.

Maybe use them up, give them to family.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

If your budget allows, how about that cosmetic cabinet that Lori Greiner sells?  It's not necessarily romantic, but I'd be more interested in keeping things neatly under control than looking romantic.

I don't know what you consider "romantic", but these are from Wayfair.
