Little Boxes

  Its that time of year again, lots of games bought for Xmas but the boxes are so flimsy that already bits have fallen out of the boxes and are lost.
  Why don't companies give you the option of buying classic games like monopoly / scrabble etc in a wooden box with a laminated cover so that the games could remain in families for years. I suppose it is not in their interest though as they would earn little in resale.
  Any small woodworker out there with time on their hands?
