CSS absolute positioning and resizing windows

First off let me say, I don't do a whole lot of front end design so please excuse all my inline code etc...

I've built these check boxes to be able to include the image when clicked. I understand it's not inside the parent class but i'm a bit confused at this point on how to move forward. Since it doesn't have a parent class it just looks for the whole web page as it's parent class i presume.

Fairly simple, i think; when i minimize my screen my label positioning removes itself from the boxes and floats off. I'll attach screen shots for more clarity.

I've tried to put a few of them in divs with some success but i'm not 100% sure the right way of doing this and that's why i'm here. I've tried some relative positioning as well. 

<div class="interests">
<div class="subHeader">Interests:</div>

Please don't use inline styling.

I would tackle it more like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/VeEXEv

HTML:

<ul class="items">
  <li class="item1">
    <button class="add-button">+</button>
    <span class="description">box 1</span>
  </li>
  <li class="item2">
   <button class="add-button">+</button>
   <span class="description">box 2</span>
  </li>
  <li class="item3">
   <button class="add-button">+</button>
   <span class="description">box 3</span>
  </li>
  <li class="item2">
   <button class="add-button">+</button>
   <span class="description">box 2</span>
  </li>
  <li class="item3">
   <button class="add-button">+</button>
   <span class="description">box 3</span>
  </li>
  <li class="item1">
    <button class="add-button">+</button>
    <span class="description">box 1</span>
  </li>
</ul>

CSS:

.items > li {
  list-style: none;
  float: left;
  height: 20px;
  width: 100px;
  margin: 10px;
  border: 1px #000 solid;
  position: relative;
  padding-top: 80px;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
 }

.items .description {
  background: rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
  height: 20px;
  width: 80px;
  color: #fff;
  display: block;
  float: right;
  text-align: center;
}

.items .add-button {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  border: none;
  background-color: #666;
  color: #fff;
}

.item1 {
  background-image: url(https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/586137164188004352/wTK4hjbl.jpg);  
 }

.item2 {
   background-image: url(https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/3276050019/f1d244a9f3254f30176922985c761d28.png);
  }

.item3 {
   background-image: url(https://people.rit.edu/~bmd6715/230/exercises/images/cat.png);
  }

I commented with a few bad practices and falsehoods on another answer, so I really had to make a quick example myself, this is one way to do it with flexbox (there are a lot of solutions to this problem, this is a good one if you don't have to support obsolete browsers):

Example: https://jsfiddle.net/um6fm744/1/

CSS:

* { box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

.interests {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.sub-header {
  margin: 0 0 24px;
  width: 100%;
}

.interest { 
  align-items: flex-end;
  background-color: green;
  display: flex;
  margin: 0 12px 24px 0;
  min-height: 160px;
  width: 160px;
}

.interest-info {
  background-color: black;
  display: flex;
  justity-content: space-between;
  width: 100%;
}

.interest-checkbox {
  height: 30px;
  width: 30px;
}

.interest-label {
  color: white;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  flex: 1;
  height: 30px;
  line-height: 30px;
  margin-left: 12px;
}

HTML

<div class="interests">
    <h1 class="sub-header">Interests:</h1>

    <div class="interest">
      <div class="interest-info">
        <input class="interest-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
        <label class="interest-label">SKATE</label>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="interest">
      <div class="interest-info">
        <input class="interest-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
        <label class="interest-label">SNOW</label>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="interest">
      <div class="interest-info">
        <input class="interest-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
        <label class="interest-label">WOMEN</label>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="interest">
      <div class="interest-info">
        <input class="interest-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
        <label class="interest-label">SURF</label>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="interest">
      <div class="interest-info">
        <input class="interest-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
        <label class="interest-label">MUSIC/ART</label>
      </div>
    </div>

</div>
