Let's talk about these Lewtemi 1st Place Blue Ribbons - they're like the enthusiastic but slightly disheveled cheerleader of award ribbons. I used them for my niece's backyard Olympics, and while they made her eyes light up, we did have to wrestle with some wrinkles first.

The good stuff? These ribbons feel surprisingly sturdy in hand - no flimsy party favor vibes here. The polyester material has a nice weight to it, and the colors stay vibrant even after my dog accidentally dragged one through the sprinklers (true story). The white cardboard backing is genius - we personalized each one with glitter markers for events like "Best Cartwheel" and "Fastest Ice Cream Eater."

Now, the elephant in the room: shipping wrinkles. Three out of my pack arrived looking like they'd been through a marathon themselves. A quick ironing session fixed two, but one stubborn ribbon now has a permanent crinkle that gives it "character." Pro tip: Use low heat and place a cloth between the iron and ribbon unless you want melted polyester art.

Despite the wrinkle drama, these deliver where it counts. At a school field day, they survived enthusiastic kid handling better than the gold star stickers that disintegrated by noon. The rosette design makes recipients feel properly celebrated - way more impressive than just scribbling "#1" on notebook paper.

Final verdict? If you can handle some minor ironing (or embrace the crinkled look as "vintage charm"), these are affordable winners that make recognition feel special. Just maybe order them before your event so you have wrangle time.
