It's a box that has the shape of a heart, nothing more. But if you talk about the Nirvana song it's a song dedicated to Kurt Cobain's wife, Courtney Love.
(Part of the first and third verse) I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks

Get the Heart-shaped box mug.
A beautifully shaped butt. The origins of the Valentine Heart was the upsidedown curvature of a woman's hind end. It is heart shaped and used for storage during foreplay and intercourse.
I'd like to taste the candies in Jennifer's Heart Shaped Box!

In the manga Princess Ai, co-created by Misaho Kujiradou, D.J. Milky & Courtney Love, the main character is Princess Ai (hence the manga name).
In the story Princess Ai half human/half angel from the land called "Ai-Land" (seriously) who arrives at Earth with completly no memorie of who she is but her name, she has a talent for singing and loves being on stage this character is modeled after Courtney Love. This explains why she has a 'trinket' heart-shaped-box holding locket with the picture of the two people she loves most. The amusing part is the picture turns out to be a character named 'Kent' who she pretty much instantly fell in love with when arriving on earth.. (if you havn't figured it out yet Kent = Kurt)
Part of this story is about their love, or more like Courtney and Kurt's love. The Heart-Shaped-Box is the symbol between them because of the song written by Kurt Cobain to her. It is sweet and cute how she weasled that into the story, a love drama fantasy and a must read for anyone who likes these genres!
Princess Ai: Nora...?
Kent!
(I want to be with you, Kent.
I want to be with..)
Being around me is very dangerous.
Kent, let me go..
*blink*
What a horrible dream
*necklace hits ground that came out the Heart-Shaped-Box*
Hey, this pendant opens up...
My father... Nora...
(The two men in my life
After that parting moment with Nora--
I vowed to never again let go of the one i loved.
To me, our love was worth facing any danger together.)
How could I forget?
(But Kent...
...He bought this book to me.
I wish I could see him to ask him why...
...But I'm not strong enough to protect Kent.)
The picture...
...It changed to Kent?!
Why'd it changed? What does it mean?!
