The storage box is useful to both beginners and thorough collectors and especially designed for non-Magic playing people who want to surprise their playing relatives. Initially, the gift boxes were always released in November. Starting with Shadows over Innistrad, a Gift Box is released with each large expansion.

Each Gift Box can hold more than 2,000 Magic cards, it comes with some booster packs from the first set of a block, a pack of twenty basic lands from the same set, six illustrated plastic dividers, a sticker sheet for customizing the dividers and an exclusive card with alternate art.
