Why it's the perfect gift for your Brother's 70th: Your brother's got 70 years of memories — that's a LOT of stories! This box gives him somewhere special to keep old photos, letters, concert tickets from the '70s, or whatever treasures he's collected along the way. Picture his face when he opens it to find you've already tucked in some old family photos or a note about your favourite memory together. It's like giving him a time capsule that says, "Your life's been amazing, and here's somewhere to keep the proof."

The foldable design even lets him adjust it to fit different sofa arms, and when he's not using it, it stores flat. It's practical, looks smart, and makes every evening on the sofa that bit more relaxed. Perfect for the brother who's earned his comfort and convenience at 70!
