I believe that it means
The gift of life
The red box on the left is
a gift box
And the binary number is
42. Famous literature and at least some popular culture considers 42 to be the "meaning of life".

1$\begingroup$ +1 for teaching me the meaning of 42. But this isn't the answer I have in mind. $\endgroup$ Feb 21, 2015 at 15:09

1$\begingroup$ 42 is the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything... but the question is not "what is the meaning of life?". $\endgroup$ Oct 28, 2015 at 14:48

$\begingroup$ @IanMacDonald 42 is considered by some to signify life and its meaning, and the box is a gift box, hence gift of life. The answer to "what is the meaning of life" is but a logical step in reaching the final answer. Also, this is quite an old post now. $\endgroup$ Oct 28, 2015 at 19:30
If it's not one of the other answers, then it is probably
Gift for 2

I believe it might be meaning (it doesn't really sound that great):
The gift of knowledge and luck
The red box represents:
A gift and luck. In many Asian countries, they wear red on Chinese New Year because it brings luck
101010 stands for:
42. 101010 is binary for 42. In this site, says that: And 42 is, of course, the "Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything." Only with knowledge, we can answer all questions including the unknown questions of life and death.
I hope this solves your riddle (or is a good alternate answer)!
