The sleeve forms a pivot axis for the stacking compartments such that the stacking compartments are independently rotatable about the pivot axis relative to the base compartment. The sleeve forms a compartment for a gift item, such as a bottle of wine, which may add rigidity to the pivot axis. The base compartment, stacking compartment, and sleeve may each be folded from a unitary sheet of recyclable material, such as corrugated fiberboard. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A gift box comprising: a tubular sleeve having an elongate body; a base compartment adapted to be supported on the sleeve; and a stacking compartment folded from a sheet of foldable material and having a bottom wall with a first opening and a pedestal fixedly supported over the bottom wall, the pedestal including a panel spaced apart from the bottom wall and having a second opening aligned with the first opening, the first and second openings sized and arranged to fit and slidably receive the elongate body of the sleeve such that the stacking compartment is positioned above the base compartment and rotatable about the sleeve relative to the base compartment. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, wherein the base compartment is folded from a second sheet of foldable material and the sleeve is folded from a third sheet of foldable material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, wherein the bottom wall and pedestal of the stacking compartment are folded from a single unitary sheet of foldable material. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, wherein: the stacking compartment further includes side walls, and the pedestal is supported by at least one of the side walls; and the bottom wall, side walls, and pedestal are all folded from a single unitary sheet of foldable material. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, wherein the elongate body of the sleeve is sized to receive a wine bottle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, wherein the sleeve, base compartment and stacking compartment are made of corrugated fiberboard. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, further comprising a second stacking compartment supported on and independently rotatable about the sleeve. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, wherein a bottom end of the sleeve is rigidly attached to the base compartment. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The gift box of claim 1, further comprising a cover enclosing the sleeve, the base compartment, and the stacking compartment. ### Claim 10 A gift box comprising: a base compartment folded from a first unitary sheet of foldable material, the base compartment having a bottom wall and further including a first pedestal supported on the bottom wall of the base compartment, the first pedestal having a first top panel with an opening, the first top panel spaced apart from the bottom wall of the base compartment; a stacking compartment folded from a second unitary sheet of foldable material, the stacking compartment having a bottom wall with an opening and further including a second pedestal supported on the bottom wall of the stacking compartment, the second pedestal having a second top panel spaced apart from the bottom wall of the stacking compartment and including an opening aligned with the opening in the bottom wall of the stacking compartment; and a vertically-elongate sleeve dimensioned to engage the opening on the first pedestal, the opening on the second pedestal, and the opening on the bottom wall of the stacking compartment such that the sleeve forms a pivot axis for the stacking compartment wherein the stacking compartment is supported on and independently rotatable about the pivot axis for fanning out relative to the base compartment. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 wherein the first and second unitary sheets of foldable material are made of corrugated fiberboard. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 further comprising a second stacking compartment supported on and independently rotatable about the pivot axis. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 wherein the first pedestal is formed from the first unitary sheet of foldable material and the second pedestal is formed from the second unitary sheet of foldable material. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 wherein the base compartment includes a base compartment side wall and the stacking compartment includes a stacking compartment side wall. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The gift box of claim 14 wherein the first pedestal is further supported by the base compartment side wall and the second pedestal is further supported by the stacking compartment side wall. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 wherein the sleeve is folded from a third unitary sheet of foldable material. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The gift box of claim 16 wherein the third unitary sheet of foldable material is made of corrugated fiberboard. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 wherein the sleeve is sized to receive a wine bottle. ### Claim 19 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 wherein a bottom end of the sleeve is rigidly attached to the bottom wall of the base compartment. ### Claim 20 (depends on 10) The gift box of claim 10 further comprising a cover enclosing the base compartment, the stacking compartment, and the sleeve.
