Havdalah is the ceremony which marks the end of the Sabbath or a holiday. The ceremony always includes a prayer and the drinking of a cup of wine. At the end of the Sabbath, a blessing is also said on smelling spices or a fragrant plant, and on a candle.

What did the spice box from the havdalah set represent?

The spice box is not actually passed around until the very end of Shabbat. It is passed around toward the end of the concluding service of Shabbat, called Havdalah. One tradition explains that on Shabbat, each person is given an extra soul. The passing of the spice box at the end of Shabbat makes the loss of this extra soul a little less painful.
