This rocket pin is much larger than I expected and the material is not exactly what I was looking for. It's about 2 inches long so I think it's a much better pin for e.g. I was expecting a metal needle, but it looks and feels a lot more plastic, so it's not as heavy, but I don't have as much confidence in its durability as a metal needle. As mentioned in the listing it comes in a gift box but it just slides in, there was no paper or plastic holder to hold it in place. The box is cute but it won't work right away, you'll need at least some crumpled paper to hold it in place. However, the pin looks cool and I like the vibrancy of the colors.
