The song by Nirvana was through the eyes of an aborted fetus-- Or, at least, that is one of the interpretations. The Heart-Shaped Box in this case could be a name for the uterus.
Courtney Love gave Kurt Cobain an actual box shaped like a heart, containing love letters, the head of a baby doll and other things symbolic in their relationship. Therefore, the title of the song has a double-meaning.

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.

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.
