1. **Material**:
- I am interested in using **eco-friendly bamboo** for the exterior of the stash box. Alternatively, I would also consider finishes in **luxury metals** or **carbon fiber** for a more premium feel.
- The interior should be soft and protective, possibly with **felt** or a similar material to safeguard the contents.
2. **Dimensions**:
- The approximate dimensions I'm looking for are **17.8 cm (L) X 25.4 cm (W) X 10.2 cm (H)**. Please let me know if these dimensions are feasible or if you have design recommendations for optimal space.
3. **Compartments**:
- The stash box should have **three compartments**:
- One compartment for **odor-proof cannabis storage**.
- A separate compartment for a **grinder**.
- A small space for **rolling papers** and **accessories** like lighters, pokers, etc.
4. **Special Features**:
- **Built-in vaporizer**: Is it possible to integrate a **vaporizer** within the stash box?
- **LED Lights**: I'm interested in whether the stash box can feature **LED lights** to enhance the user experience.

### **Customization & Branding: **
1. **Logo/Branding**:
- I would like to have my **brand logo engraved** or printed on the top or inside of the stash box. I can provide the logo file upon request.
2. **Design**:
