I need a box of crayons that can fit a bottle of liquor inside

Quid

I'm in the office secret Santa and got a guy who was a prior Marine. For those that aren't aware, there's a running joke that Marines eat crayons. I want to get him a nice bottle of whiskey but put it inside a box of waxy deliciousness. However, searching online for crayons by box size is harder than I thought. My wife and I recently walked through Target and I know the 120 Crayola box isn't quite big enough.

I don't need it to be Crayola brand specific. I just want to make sure when he opens his gift, the note "I heard you find this delicious" makes sense.

What about a huge plastic tube shaped like a crayon?

Maybe you could give the building blocks to a child you know

A 750 bottle will leave limited options. A 375 could probably fit in any of the larger boxes.

There is this. Not sure you want to spend 30 dollars on an actual giant crayon though.

Perhaps whisky in a decent flask that fits in a crayon box and give him the rest of the bottle after he opens it?

Oh, the flask is a good idea. There's a place nearby that does custom work I can look in to.

You can always just make your own crayon box. Find any box that fits and then print out sides to glue on.

I'll even photoshop it for ya if you find a box and send me the size.

I was looking for something different, but couldn't find, but did find this

edit: Was trying to find a flask that looked like a box of crayons as the art. Maybe a custom flask website could do it for cheap?

If you want something sturdier, Crayola used to have tins like this in Target, etc:

Do you have the means to get something printed large and in color? You could simply construct a box out of cardboard and adhere an enlarged image of a Crayola box onto the appropriate sides. You'd need decent exato knives to cut the flaps, but this is a totally achievable craft project in my mind.

Or since it's whisky, just use the cardboard tube to make it one big crayon.
