1 . An integrated gift box and card comprising a box container and a lid for removably attaching to the box container, said lid including an integrated card portion comprising a relatively flat, indicia-receiving surface overlayable by at least one movable flap member mounted to the lid for moving between a first, indicia-receiving surface covering position and a second, indicia-surface exposing position  
   
   
       2 . The integrated gift box and card of  claim 1  further comprising a ribbon member tieable above the movable flap member so as to secure the flap member in the indicia-receiving surface covering position.

       4 . The integrated gift box and card of  claim 3  further comprising second and third flap members pivotally mounted to said lid and adapted to co-act with said at least one movable flap member to conceal the indicia receiving surface.  
   
   
       5 . The integrated gift box and card of  claim 1  where said at least one movable flap member includes a barrier element to seal the indicia-receiving surface against adverse ambient environmental factors  
   
   
       6 . A gift card box, comprising: 
 a box container for receiving a gift; and 
 a lid for removably attaching to said box container to cover said box container, said lid including a card portion having at least one movable flap for opening to view an expression of words on said card portion.

       11 . A gift card box, comprising: 
 means for containing at least one item;    means for covering said means for containing, said means for covering being completely detachable from said means for containing and including an indicia receiving portion; and    pivotal flap means for moving between an indicia receiving portion covering position and an indicia receiving portion exposing position.    
   
   
       12 . The gift card box of  claim 11  wherein the means for covering includes a decorative ribbon.  
   
   
       13 . A combination gift card box, comprising: 
 a box container for receiving a gift; and    a lid for removably attaching to said box container to cover said box container, said lid including a card portion having a generally planar base member positioned parallel to said lid and having movable leaves of a select shape and contour extending from said generally planar base member, said movable leaves operable to fold inwardly toward a central point on said generally planar base member, thereby allowing words on said planar base member to be covered or uncovered depending upon a position of said movable leaves.    
   
   
       14 . The gift card box of  claim 13 , wherein said generally planar 
 base member includes at least two insert members of a select width for allowing a ribbon of a width smaller than said width of said insert members to extend therefrom, said ribbon crossing at least one of said movable leaves to secure said at least one movable leaf.    
   
   
       15 . The method of preparing a gift for presentation using a gift package assembly featuring a gift container, a gift container lid dimensionally complementary to the gift container with an indicia receiving surface and a flap element hingedly mounted to the container lid, the method comprising the steps of:
