If you were a Box

If you were a box, what kind of box would you be? What size, material, decoration? What were you designed to hold? What's inside?

Plain wood, a natural reddish yellow, a bit glossy, long flat box, perhaps 8" h x 15" w x 60" l. Top side is slightly convex. No decorations. Inside is padded with dark velvet. It's intended to hold a sword, but there's othing inside.

Outside, I would appear to be an ordinary blue police box. The inside, done in bright white with an odd circular console in the center with some sort of oscillating cylinder, would be much larger than the outside. This box would, with regular navigational irregularities, take me to all sorts of interesting places to thwart evil masterminds intent on ill for mankind. It would also arrange for me to meet and travel with a string of smart, beautiful women who are only moderately disfunctional and a wonderful, heavily armed, incredibly smart and loyal robotic dog.

Really, what other kind of box is there?

A box of chocolates.
I would definitely be a box of chocolates.
The box itself would be smallish, covered in gold foil with intricate designs highlighted in red. Inside would be individually wrapped exquisite melt-in your mouth truffles - all in various shades of chocolate goodness (milk, dark, etc.). There would be no raspberry filled, no cremes, and especially no nut concoctions.
