A box, being a container, symbolizes containment or limitation. It is a specifically strong symbol of limitation as it also has four sides and a lid both of which also indicate limitation. The rest of the dream will indicate what has you boxed in.
A box, through English slang usage, can also indicate the womb. An egg box in this context would indicate the ovaries or reproductive cycle. Running out of eggs in an egg box indicates the end of your fertile period for having children.
A boxed gift indicates it is time for you to explore a new and positive aspect of yourself. Open the box (remove limitation) to discover the gift.
A person giving a boxed gift is a guide. Always heed the advice they give you in the dream.
