Review on 🎁 Sustainable Gift Box with Pre-Wrapped Gift – The Perfect Gift Wrap Alternative for Birthdays and More! by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

My gift wrap was torn; more detailed instructions could have been used

This pre-wrapped gift box set was made available to me through the Revain Vine program. Includes top and bottom wrapped gift box, bow/ribbon, tissue paper and gift tag. I had never used a set like this before and was interested in trying it out. I was disappointed to find that the gift wrapping was damaged (torn) on one of the pieces of cardboard. Something was catching on it or grinding on it like a box cutter. (This was the case when I received it.) I tried to fix the torn paper with tape. You can still see the gap although not very noticeable. The box and the bow/ribbon need to be assembled. I found the box assembly instructions a bit difficult to understand, including illustrations and limited vocabulary. Of course, after assembling it, I noticed "Scan the QR code for video folding instructions". on the packaging label. It would be nice to see this information printed on the packaging more often and the video posted on the Revain website. (Although looking at other reviews, I seem to be in the minority who need more detailed instructions!) As for the loop/ribbon, I think it's very clever. It starts out as a long, flat band. You slowly pull on 2 ribbons... and you get a nice big bow. I have never seen a bow so easily made and was quite impressed. The gift set also includes a sheet of colored tissue paper, size 19.5" x 30" and a plain white gift tag. I would prefer 2 pieces of tissue paper and maybe a color label. Despite some negativity on my part, this isn't a bad gift set. It's not the manufacturer's fault I received a damaged set but it's disappointing. Like I said, I think it would be better if they improved their instructions (or made their video more visible) and added another piece of tissue paper. This gift wrapping set is primarily made in the USA while the ribbon is made in Mexico. if they improved their instructions (or made their video more visible) and added another piece of tissue paper.
