Does this favor and money box idea work?

really like to hear what everyone thinks..

FH and i thought we'd like to use wooden box as our favor containers. I thought they were cute so ppl can keep them after they eat the candies inside. so here are the pics i found.. tell me if this is crazy!


And then i was thinking about our money box and think i can use an even bigger wooden box.. i know i'm probably a bit obssessive here but i found some boxes i really like (they don't come with an opening on the top though so i have to think of someway to alterate them)

so i don't know am i totally off the track???

PS: both of us are Chinese and the boxes are like miniatures of ancient chinese jewelry boxes.. i'm so obssessed with them but worried others will find it odd
