-The '''gift box''' was a player-made [[gift]] that could be addressed to other players. Unfortunately it became widely abused to avoid decay on many items, especially food, which devs found to be undesired behavior.

 *To open the gift box, right-click it and select "Open". Opening will destroy the box, while just the contents will remain. Only the named recipient or the creator can open the box in this way.
-*Players with long names were reported to have problems opening the box. It wass therefore suggested that players experiment with the process before wrapping something of considerable value.
+*Players with long names were reported to have problems opening the box. It was therefore suggested that players experiment with the process before wrapping something of considerable value.
 *The gift box is created at a quality of 99. It decays slowly, only if left off-deed, and it cannot be repaired or improved.
 *The gift box will always say, ''"It is made from birchwood"'', despite the wood scrap type used in creation.
 *Items unable to be gift wrapped include: wood scrap, edible items, ores, lumps, rock shards, and leather.
-*Gift boxes will not burn if placed in a fire, forge, or oven. Instead, they will glow red, much like a metal lump, not incurring any decay/fire damage. However, players can use a gift box as [[fuel]] by selecting the "burn" option on the burning vessel with the gift box activated. The results of this action are not yet confirmed.
