...and if you don't want to tweak the width manually, take the
varwidth.sty package that does a funny auto-shrink:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\begin{document}
\fbox{
\begin{varwidth}{10cm}Hello World\\
\begin{itemize}
\item item one
\item item two
\end{itemize}
\end{varwidth}
}
\end{document}
