What is claimed is: 1. A gift box that is displayable in a collapsed position at a point of sale, wherein the gift box is formed of a unitary sheet of material comprising a first sidewall having a first edge and a second edge; a second sidewall having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the second sidewall is coupled to the second edge of the first sidewall at a first foldline; a third sidewall having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the third sidewall is coupled to the second edge of the second sidewall at a second foldline; a fourth sidewall having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the fourth sidewall is coupled to the second edge of the third sidewall at a third foldline, and the first sidewall is coupled to the fourth sidewall so as to define a region perimetered by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls, a box top having a first edge coupled to a top edge of the fourth sidewall at a fourth foldline, and a box bottom having a first edge coupled to a bottom edge of the second sidewall at a fifth foldline, wherein the gift box further comprises: a gift support detachably coupled to a top edge of the second sidewall when the gift box is displayed in the collapsed position; wherein in the collapsed position: an exterior surface of the box top is in facing alignment with the gift support so that at the point of sale, the gift support blocks at least essentially the entire exterior surface of the box top from view. 2. The gift box as claimed in claim 1, wherein in the collapsed position, the exterior surface of the box top is in facing alignment with an interior surface of the gift support. 3. The gift box as claimed in claim 2, wherein in the collapsed position, an exterior surface of the gift support is in view and contains written indicia indicating use and/or instructions relating to the function of the gift box. 4. The gift box as claimed in claim 2, wherein the gift support has means for being suspended from/on a display hook. 5. The gift box as claimed in claim 2, wherein in the collapsed position: the second sidewall blocks at least essentially the other sidewalls from view, when viewing the written indicia on the exterior of the gift support. 6. The gift box as claimed in claim 1, comprising: a flap coupled to a top edge of the third sidewall at a sixth foldline; and an informational panel, detachably coupled to the flap, such that the box top is positioned intermediate the gift support and the informational panel when displayed in the collapsed position; wherein the informational panel is detachable from the gift box and forms no part of the structure used to form the gift box. 7. The gift box as claimed in claim 6, wherein the informational panel comprises means for being suspended from/on a display hook. 8. The gift box as claimed in claim 6, wherein the collapsed position, the interior surface of the box top is in direct facing alignment with an interior surface of the informational panel. 9. The gift box as claimed in claim 8, wherein the collapsed position, an exterior surface of the informational panel is in view and contains written indicia indicating use and/or instructions relating to the function of the gift box. 10. The gift box as claimed in claim 1, comprising a gift support supporter connected to the gift support for maintaining the gift support at a non-parallel angle with respect to the box bottom when the gift box is constructed and the gift support is detached from the second sidewall and positioned in the region perimetered by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls. 11. The gift box as claimed in claim 1, comprising a gift support supporter connected to the gift support for maintaining the gift support at essentially a parallel angle with respect to the box bottom when the gift box is constructed and the gift support is detached from the second sidewall and positioned in the region perimetered by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls. 12. The gift box as claimed in claim 3, comprising a gift support supporter connected to the gift support for maintaining the gift support at a non-parallel angle with respect to the box bottom when the gift box is constructed and the gift support is detached from the second sidewall and positioned in the region perimetered by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls. 13. A method of constructing a gift box for a gift card that is to be placed therein, wherein the box is constructed from a unitary sheet of material that has been previously placed into a collapsed position for display at a point of sale, wherein the box is formed from the unitary sheet of material comprising a first sidewall having a first edge and a second edge; a second sidewall having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the second sidewall is coupled to the second edge of the first sidewall at a first foldline; a third sidewall having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the third sidewall is coupled to the second edge of the second sidewall at a second foldline; a fourth sidewall having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the fourth sidewall is coupled to the second edge of the third sidewall at a third foldline, and the first sidewall is coupled to the fourth sidewall so as to define a region perimetered by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls, a box top having a first edge coupled to a top edge of the fourth sidewall at a fourth foldline, and a box bottom having a first edge coupled to a bottom edge of the second sidewall at a fifth foldline, wherein the gift box further comprises a gift support detachably coupled to a top edge of the second sidewall when the gift box is displayed in the collapsed position such that in the collapsed position, an exterior surface of the box top is in facing alignment with the gift support so that at the point of sale, the gift support blocks at least essentially the entire exterior surface of the box top from view; wherein the method of constructing the gift box comprises the steps of: opening the collapsed gift box so as to view the exterior of the box top; separating the sidewalls so as to expand the region perimetered by the first, second third and forth sidewalls; positioning the box bottom in the region so as to maintain the integrity of the expanded region; inserting the gift support into the expanded region; and folding the box top at the fourth foldline to encapsulate a gift card positioned on the gift support. 14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the unitary sheet of material comprises a first bottom supporting flap coupled to a bottom edge of first sidewall at a foldline and a second bottom supporting flap coupled to a bottom edge of third sidewall at a foldline, wherein in the collapsed position the first bottom supporting flap is in a pressed position against the first sidewall and the second bottom supporting flap is in a pressed position against the third sidewall, wherein the method of constructing the gift box comprises the steps of: extending the first and second bottom supporting flaps prior to the step of positioning the box bottom in the expanded region in order to provide support to the box bottom when placed in the region; wherein additional integrity of the constructed gift box is maintained. 15. The method as claimed in claim 13, including the step of detaching the gift support from the second sidewall prior to opening the collapsed gift box so as to view the exterior of the box top. 16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the gift box comprises a flap coupled to a top edge of the third sidewall at a foldline, and an informational panel, detachably coupled to the flap, such that the box top is positioned intermediate the gift support and the informational panel when displayed in the collapsed position, wherein an exterior surface of the informational panel contains written indicia indicating use and/or instructions relating to the function of the gift box, wherein the method comprises the steps of: detaching the informational panel from the gift box prior to opening the collapsed gift box; whereby the informational panel forms no part of the constructed gift box. 17. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the gift support comprises a gift support supporter for maintaining the gift support at a non-parallel angle with respect to the box bottom when the gift box is constructed and the gift support is positioned in the region perimetered by the first, second, third and fourth sidewalls; wherein the method comprises the steps of: folding the gift support supporter relative to the gift support at the foldline coupling the two and inserting the gift support into the region and angling it at the non-parallel angle; whereby a gift card positioned thereon is viewable in the constructed gift box.
