A gift box for gift cards provides a presentation appearing like a gift box for other products, such as jewelry, having strength, three full dimensions, color, quality, and design options. It can receive decorations such as ribbons and bows, greeting cards such as a to/from card, and the like. The box requires no assembly of components, as it comes in a single, integrated whole, including all the parts of the box and its lid, as well as an interior panel presenting the gift, such as a gift card that operates as a debit card with a pre-loaded amount of purchasing value.

1. An apparatus formed as a collapsible gift box comprising: a base having a floor with walls, comprising front, back, and side walls, permanently secured thereto and interconnected to draw one another simultaneously between a first, stowed, position substantially parallel to the floor and a second, deployed, position substantially orthogonal thereto;a lid, foldable with respect to, and hinging from, one of the front and back walls between a first position parallel thereto and folded thereacross to be adjacent the floor, a second position extending away from the floor, and a third position substantially parallel to the floor, and adjacent and perpendicular to the walls;a closure foldable with respect to the lid between a first, open, position parallel to the lid and a second, closed, position substantially orthogonal thereto and secured to the other of the front and back walls;a panel, folded to have an anchor flap, a tuck flap, and a deck therebetween, the deck being pivotable with respect to the anchor flap and the tuck flap;the panel, wherein the anchor flap is permanently secured to an anchor wall of the walls;the panel, wherein the tuck flap is configured to fold from a stowed position parallel to the floor to a deployed position substantially perpendicular thereto; anda securement on the deck and holding a gift secured to the deck. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the walls, lid, and closure are integral, continuous, and contiguous with one another in the stowed and the deployed configurations. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the walls, lid, and closure are integral, continuous, and contiguous at all positions between the stowed and the deployed configurations. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the anchor flap is permanently secured in the stowed position to contact one of the front and back walls in the deployed position absent any further securement materials therebetween. 5.

The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising: tabs connecting the walls to the floor and to one another in the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration; andthe anchor flap, further being permanently captured against one pair of the tabs in the deployed configuration; andthe tuck flap, further being retained against the other pair of the tabs in the deployed configuration. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the one pair of the tabs is connected to draw the panel toward perpendicularity with the floor upon movement of the walls from the stowed configuration top the deployed configuration. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the tuck flap and the anchor flap are sized to incline the deck by extending different depths from the floor and along a height of the walls. 9. An apparatus formed as a collapsible gift box comprising: a base having a floor with walls, comprising front, back, and side walls, permanently secured thereto and interconnected to draw one another simultaneously between a first, stowed, position substantially parallel to the floor and a second, deployed, position substantially orthogonal thereto;a lid, foldable with respect to, and hinging from, one of the front and back walls between a first position parallel thereto and folded thereacross to be adjacent the floor, a second position extending away from the floor, and a third position substantially parallel to the floor, and adjacent and perpendicular to the walls;a closure foldable with respect to the lid between a first, open, position parallel to the lid and a second, closed, position substantially orthogonal thereto and secured to the other of the front and back walls;a panel, folded to have an anchor flap, a tuck flap, and a deck therebetween, the deck being pivotable with respect to the anchor flap and the tuck flap;the panel, wherein the anchor flap is permanently secured to an anchor wall of the walls;the panel, wherein the tuck flap is configured to fold from a stowed position parallel to the floor to a deployed position substantially perpendicular thereto; andretail packaging comprising a transparent container and a header secured thereto, the retail packaging matching the retail packaging envelope of a gift secured to the deck. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the walls, lid, and closure are integral, continuous, and contiguous with one another in the stowed and the deployed configurations. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the walls, lid, and closure are integral, continuous, and contiguous at all positions between the stowed and the deployed configurations. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the anchor flap is permanently secured in the stowed position to contact one of the front and back walls in the deployed position absent any further securement materials therebetween. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the tuck flap is positioned against the other of the front and back walls in the deployed configuration. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising: tabs connecting the walls to the floor and to one another in the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration; andthe anchor flap, further being permanently captured against one pair of the tabs in the deployed configuration; andthe tuck flap, further being retained against the other pair of the tabs in the deployed configuration. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the one pair of the tabs is connected to draw the panel toward perpendicularity with the floor upon movement of the walls from the stowed configuration top the deployed configuration. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the tuck flap and the anchor flap are sized to incline the deck by extending different depths from the floor and along a height of the walls. 17. An apparatus formed as a collapsible gift box comprising: a base having a floor with walls, comprising front, back, and side walls, permanently secured thereto and interconnected to draw one another simultaneously between a first, stowed, position substantially parallel to the floor and a second, deployed, position substantially orthogonal thereto;a lid, foldable with respect to, and hinging from, one of the front and back walls between a first position parallel thereto and folded thereacross to be adjacent the floor, a second position extending away from the floor, and a third position substantially parallel to the floor, and adjacent and perpendicular to the walls;a closure foldable with respect to the lid between a first, open, position parallel to the lid and a second, closed, position substantially orthogonal thereto and secured to the other of the front and back walls;a panel, folded to have an anchor flap, a tuck flap, and a deck therebetween, the deck being pivotable with respect to the anchor flap and the tuck flap;the panel, wherein the anchor flap is permanently secured to an anchor wall of the walls;the panel, wherein the tuck flap is configured to fold from a stowed position parallel to the floor to a deployed position substantially perpendicular thereto;wherein the walls, lid, and closure are integral, continuous, and contiguous with one another in the stowed and the deployed configurations;wherein the walls, lid, and closure are integral, continuous, and contiguous at all positions between the stowed and the deployed configurations;wherein the anchor flap is permanently secured in the stowed position to contact one of the front and back walls in the deployed position absent any further securement materials therebetween; andwherein the tuck flap is positioned against the other of the front and back walls in the deployed configuration. 18.
