Pretty tools and boxes

I have two long time female friends that I makes gifts for on Christmas and their birthdays. In the past they have gotten picture frames, a puzzle box, a sliding DVD holder, a set of chess pieces, and a coffee barrel. This year I have gone simple for Christmas and they will receive lathe turned pens.

But I'm planning for their birthdays...one in February and the other in March. While in a hardware store I came across some tools that were not only functional, but made pretty for girls. I bought two different patterns of 4 tools each. But that isn't MAKING anything. So I need to customize. I intend to make two rectangular boxes to hold the tools and I want to form fit the interior of the cases with appropriately colored felt. Then, I will have 2 little brass plates mades to identify their ownership.

Since they are both getting the same thing I thought it may be good to delay the gifts until the second birthday in March. We can all get together for dinner and I can give the boxes at the same time. Then they can decide which they like best and trade. Finally I can attach the name plates when they decide which is theirs.

Here is a picture of the tools. The boxes will be made of sycamore with cherry splines and the interiors will be blue for one set and purple for the other.
