craftgrrl | in need of assistance.......

All right so I'm making an anniversary gift for my hunny. I made him some magnetic poetry, bought him this stuffed animal thingy, and made a record bowl. I wanted to put everything in the record bowl, but I don't know what to put the magnetic poetry in. it can't just be loose...so I bought this little wooden box from Joanns, but it looks really cheap and I don't really have the time/skills to make it look that great, plus the top isn't connected at all so I would have to buy some hinges or whatever to put the top on. So basically what I'm asking is what can I do with the magnetic poetry? Something fairly easy and definitely cheap.
Also, another quick question. On the record bowl, I didn't want to leave the label just as is, so I was going to cover it with construction paper and glue some of the magnetic poetry that says like, "i love you" or something like that, but I don't like the way it looks. Anyone have any other ideas?
Any of your help would be incredibly appreciated...thank you SO much.
