Abstract:

A combined greeting card and gift box apparatus having a box portion and a moveable panel member. The moveable panel member may be moved from a closed position wherein indicia thereon in the form of a greeting or wish is not readable, to an open position wherein the indicia may be read by the recipient. When in the open position, the recipient may begin withdrawing bills of currency, gift certificates, checks or other like objects which are secured to a carrier medium and supported within the interior of the box in a coiled fashion on the carrier medium. Since the recipient has no knowledge of how many bills of currency or other like items are within the box portion of the apparatus, the enjoyment and anticipation associated with learning of the total amount of the gift is enhanced. The apparatus is further constructed from a single panel of paper-like material and may be easily and quickly constructed without any special tools, external glues, etc.
