ABSTRACT:
A gift package is disclosed having a box portion cut from a blank of paperboard, or other suitable material, to be formed with a bottom wall and side walls connected thereto along respective fold lines to extend upwardly and, preferably, diverge outwardly to a small degree toward the top. The side walls are not joined to one another, but may be maintained in the upright position by a close-fitting cover comprising a top wall with depending, joined sides to enclose the upper portions of the box side walls. When the cover is removed, the box side walls fall open to a flat position, thereby exposing the box contents and activating a sound-producing micro-chip containing an electronically encoded melody which thus automatically "plays" when the cover is removed. An attractive inner lining covering the bottom and side walls is also preferably provided.
