Let me start by saying these mini blue gift boxes are ADORABLE when assembled. I used them for wedding favors, and the Tiffany-teal color (more on that later) actually got tons of compliments. The cardboard is sturdier than expected - no flimsy paper here!
The assembly is super satisfying - like adult origami. Each box takes about 30 seconds to fold into shape, and the pre-punched holes make threading the white ribbon easy. Pro tip: Have scissors ready as you'll need to cut the ribbon yourself.
Now for the not-so-great parts: First, that "baby blue" in the product title? Yeah, it's definitely more of a bright Tiffany blue in person. If you're counting on a soft pastel shade, you'll be disappointed like some other reviewers.
Second major issue - the ribbon supply. You only get 3 spools for 100 boxes! I ran out after about 60 boxes and had to make an emergency craft store run mid-project. Not cool when you're up at 2AM finishing favors.
Despite these flaws, they're great for:
- Wedding/baby shower favors (if teal works for your theme)
- Small jewelry gifts
- Cookie/candy packaging
- Craft projects
Final verdict? 4/5 stars - cute and functional but could improve color accuracy and ribbon quantity.
