These would be like a ordinary items, so it'd be 'consumed' after use, where the use is creating more items (and pets). My plan for my site was to hard code in item functions for each type of giftbox I wanted, rather than put that information into form fields when I create a box. (I'm really not that good at editting the AdminCP itself.)
It's already on my to-do list so I can take a look at it sooner rather than later for you.
The only bit I don't get is "at the time or date I have specified". If the user has the item, shouldn't that be enough? Or... perhaps do you mean the contents vary based on a set time? Again, I think it'd be better to make separate boxes for separate events. That way someone doesn't get a Christmas giftbox and try to open it three months later expecting Christmas items but instead get Valentine's Day items.

Thinking further into it, I think it is a good idea to create different item functions for each type, rather than just one. Please disregard that bit as well XP
