The invention relates to the field of gift and packaging object(s), and more particularly packaging implemented by a hard box with a magnetic enclosure designed specially to gift windchimes with a special compartment for greeting cards and notes.
There is a fairly extensive prior art pertaining to the subject of gift boxes.

Such construction may or may not be designed to be sold within a display packaging.
In U.S. Pat. No. 2,037,515 issued to W. H. LEES on Apr. 14, 1936, there is disclosed gift wrapping package that includes a ribbon card to stiffen it. The package is sold in a substantially flat form.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,829,008 issued to MURRAY et al on Aug. 13, 1974, there is disclosed a receptacle in the form of a parallelepiped container having foldable wrapping flaps secured to its underside. The wrapping flaps have reverse decorative sides which appear to the sight when they are folded up to wrap the container. The invention disclosed in this patent is limited to the container itself and does not disclose or suggest any display packaging for it.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,566,592 issued to KLUKOS on Jan. 28, 1986, there is disclosed a packaging for flat, planar objects such as cards and lithographs. This packaging has a ribbon which sandwiches and holds the cards together. It is clearly limited to such planar objects.
