Get one of these babies for less than the price of 2 grams!
These were sold in the 70s and 80s, and still show up on auction sites. Here's a photo of a real one.

The saddest part is that some much of the know-how for how to make something like that box consistently every time is pretty much gone, at least for a reasonable price. You need a robot to make that box now.
That box isn't complicated to make, modern things don't come in nice wooden boxes because of cost, not lack of knowledge.
Not saying it's "complicated", just at it takes skill to do consistently and at speed.
